Part of the reason I find Lemmy enjoyable is I don’t have to worry about bullshit just to throw a comment in. I rarely post, but I have fun commenting stupid crap here and there to pass the time. Not once has anyone been a total dick, maybe a partial chub, but nothing I don’t already expect
It’s basic fear response conditioning, I doubt it ever fully goes away because being cautious of the unknown is a very successful survival trait.
Basically every time you open that inbox you’d have to lie to yourself into believing that a negative response is an impossibility. Good luck, if you figure it out let me know.
I blocked the notification with uBlock and just pretend nobody ever reads or comments on my comments. You can say whatever you want if nobody is around to hear it.
Not having a global karma score that is require to post in different subreddits helps too.
That’s really been one of the reasons I’ve always just been a lurker on social media. The fediverse spaces I’m in (lemmy/mastodon) have been great so far. I didn’t really have any expectations but the experience has been good for me and I hope for everyone else!
I wouldn’t know about controversial haha, I mostly comment for fun, but there does seem to be an acceptance of the fact we are all sharing the same house, might as well make nice

Yeah, the dread of seeing a new notification in the inbox turns out to be something pretty chill surprisingly often
Exactly!
I still had the dread before opening this. Wonder if that ever goes away
Only way to know is to try it again! Soooo hopefully I didn’t give you too much dread 😅

Depends on the subject. Try to criticize left wing subjects and see what happens.
I’ve seen left-wingers and communists attacked by ‘tankies’
Yeah that too.

I find you can talk a little more recreationally here. Can say some stupid stuff and it’s not attacked immediately.
Not everything someone comments should be taken 100% seriously, but there is obviously lines that can’t be touched either.
This really gets to the heart of it, speaking recreationally is perfectly acceptable and it seems hate just for having an opinion is much lower
It’s small enough that I can say something mildly controversial without getting dogpiled by a mob from /r/SomeEchoChamber
