Why don't the majority talk over the dickwads if they outnumber them? Why does it only take a few to mess everything up?
Because why would I waste my time shouting at dickwads in some filthy corner of the internet, when I can just go to a space where they're not welcome? It's definitely better overall to stand up and fight but the fight never ends and it's exhausting. I definitely understand anyone who just wouldn't bother.
That's true. sigh It's just rather frustrating that it only takes a few to ruin things for so many...
It's only ruined if you actually want to engage in the chat. Use it for what it's for, and come get your community on Lemmy. Beehaw.org in particular is a smaller, more heavily moderated instance that might be the kind of space you're looking for. I keep an account there and on lemm.ee specifically so I can choose how much "freedom" I'd like to be exposed to depending on how I feel.
I was referring to the Nicotine+ chat being ruined. I'm already on Beehaw, though it's not really about piracy-related stuff. It's nice though.
I'm not sure how much I'd even use Nicotine+, it doesn't have a lot of what I'm looking for. Just music. I tend to look for retro game stuff. I have all the No-Intro sets for older systems so I don't need stuff that's in those (except the private entries). It's hard to find stuff that isn't just in any No-Intro, GoodTools, or TOSEC set, unfortunately. I might use it to share stuff. Maybe eMule as well? I don't know. shrug
Fear of association maybe?
