It seems like a lot of people don't post or at least don't post on smaller communities like obsidianmd@lemmy.world

People on the internet suck. No matter what, there will be someone that is upset with your words for some reason. This opens you up to harassment.
I just don’t want to.
I hesitated replying to this post because you are responding by redundantly @ing the user you are replying to. That is a mega pet peeve of mine and I hate it.

Have a nice day!

I think that happens if they're commenting from a microblogging service, not a lemmy account.

Well today I learned something.

Thank you!

It's as I use Mbin, What does both Microblogging and Threads (Lemmy)

People on the internet suck.

They really do.

[-] SamXavia@kbin.run 5 points 8 months ago

Sorry it auto does the @ on my instance (I use Mbin btw). But yeah I know that some people are hateful, I guess it's because people feel they can be more open without consequences often.

Depends also on the attitude, I think.

I haven't met many people in this "they suck"-mold of yours. The contrary however...
