Memes

As I replied to the other person, I suck at being concise, that is the only reason why I wrote a paragraph. But I think you are taking these assumptions way, way, way too far.

You won't find mentions of South Asia in my comment history just like you won't find mentions of most of the Global South, most of the relevant political issues, or most of anything really. I'm a lurker and I only comment when either I feel like it (almost never) or something is really bothering me (like this situation). In fact, this is my first time commenting on the AI slop invasion that is taking over this community, despite the fact that it has been bothering for some time now, because I feel it's becoming really toxic now.

Why is anyone going to assume you have no ulterior motives? Because you have a .ml at the end of your name?

Literally WHY would anybody have any reason to assume that I DO have ulterior motives? I most often abstain from commenting on issues that I'm not very knowledgeable and would rather just learn what other smarter people have to say. I don't know South Asia, I'm only vaguely aware of the atrocities that the British commited there, I think the British should pay reparations and dissolve the UK while they're at it, what else am I supposed to say?

You likely give no fucks about South Asia, rarely comment on it, but the one time you do it’s to scold a poster for making a meme. If it’s not that it’s AI it’s going to be that it’s something else

This is an excessive amount of assumption and I'm honestly borderline offended by this. This is what I mean by toxicity. I already felt that Lemmy was exhausting when I couldn't talk my mind to the .world hivemind because, guess what, they assumed I was a 'tankie' because of being on .ml, and my opinion was invalid for commiting the sin of talking positively about Hexbear. Only for a hexbear to also come and assume the worst of me just because I called out someone not for using AI slop, but for contorting other people's intentions on such a toxic way? wtf, dude, seriously, not cool
