    Exactly. It’s like a sport to them, though they take it even more seriously than sportsfan, replying to everything with a sense of urgency, like it’s just one step away from total anarchy.

    I’ve been surprised by the political discussions here. Far more civil and not as vitriolic as Reddit’s political subs. Even with disagreements.

      Politics unlike sports has very real and serious implications for people’s lives.

        Yes yes and the upcoming american election will be the most important one of the generation. As it has been said last election and the one before that and the one before that and so on an so forth.

      What universe are you in? Lemmy is far more caustic when it comes to politics. Is a bit embarrassing to tell the truth.

        Go through my post history. I’ve had nothng but relaxed convos. No vitriol or outright hate. Then again, I’m on Kbin so maybe that kind of stuff doesnt reach here. I know of Hexbear’s insanity but ive only seen them a handful of times.

          Was a part about a cop being ambushed and murdered few weeks back. There was quite a few posts and every single one of them were gleeful. I was happy to get down voted.

          Or look at the response to anyone that might be republican. Unless you have the same opinion and echo back that, it is pretty caustic. Personally I like to hear from people with different opinion as it keeps your brain flexible but you will see little if that here.
