If you'd like evidence of the toxic or extreme side of Lemmy, it's not hard to find. Are we really disagreeing that this is a problem with Lemmy? Regardless, you're misrepresenting OP with the "declare the other side is unbiased".

This conversation started started with pushing back on the idea of using Lemmy as a solution to small site discoverability. The toxicity and social aspects are perfectly relevant.

He's at -5 at the moment. Depending on what instances you have blocked, you're going to see different amounts. It doesn't mean those people aren't there.

Even here, the guy you're responding to is getting down voted to oblivion (for Lemmy anyways) for an opinion that I have echoed elsewhere and gotten the opposite response.

Not having the majority opinion of this community seems to mean downvotes too. The only real difference is that reddit has enough staying power for people to put up with it.

That would be true worst case, but you're never running inference 24/7. It's no crazier than gaming in that regard.

It's my personal understanding/experience that it's a term for babies who are unable to walk, but can crawl and tend to put everything in their mouths.

Why is being used here as an insult or slur is beyond my comprehension.

Since we're talking that era, Sliders was a great show early on and it's a tragedy nobody knows it.

I think having "LTS" mean nothing is counterproductive. Why would anyone agree to apply "meaningless" labels like that? It would only confuse people more if we applied a label which implied support but nobody was actually obligated to support it any more than another release.

I have to wonder what kind of child hears someone say that they pay in cash rather than use a card and assume that they're rich.

I have to imagine you are so fiscally deficient that the 2% or so card transaction fee doesn't even register to you. Did you know that especially some Mom and Pop shops will charge less when using cash for that very reason? Gas stations even advertise cash rates for gas.

Ignorance and arrogance are a horrible combo.

This is the central reason I choose not to engage with most posts. It's a toss up whether I'm talking to a rational human being or I happened to walk into the side of the antinatalist hyper accelerationist ML willing to die to defend the most obscure take about consent or something.

I would love a more healthy, less terminally online discourse on Lemmy.

No, It's the children who are wrong!

Don't dead Open inside?

Yes. Quic and other protocols are too new and don't have a ton of support in firewall and inspection tools that are used by said corpos. It's even required in the DISA STIG requirements to disable quic at the browser level.
