I think it’s worse here.
Reddit
“The grass is blue.”
“No, the grass is green. Here is a source.”
“Oh.”
Lemmy
“The grass is blue.”
“No, the grass is green. Here is a source.”
“Bro, your own source says it’s the chemicals in grass that make it green LOL.”
“That’s correct.”
“So you think just because it appears green from the chemicals, it’s green?”
“Yes. It’s certainly not blue.”
“Actually without the chemicals it would be translucent which would be reflective of the sky, making it blue like how the ocean does.”
“Sure. Except there’s chemicals that make it green instead.”
“I don’t see how you’re not understanding how stupid that is. It’s not the grass that’s green.”
“And in your analogy it’s not the grass that’s blue.”
“You clearly don’t understand science and I pity you. I won’t waste any more of my time. Good day, sir.”
🧠💥
At least reddit didn’t have .ml
I swear people in Lemmy don’t even want to argue, all they want is pure confrontation about every single opinion there is.
Exactly. I felt the people here being a lot more hostile too (aside from the nicer instance like the furry instances or Lemmy.blahaj.zone)!

Oh yeah? I don’t think so. Fight me if you want to try to change my oppinion!
Yea, most people (here and on Reddit) argue in bad faith without knowing that they’re arguing in bad faith.
Let’s say u see some statement that u agree/disagree with. The goal should be to reach the truth. Whether you are right or wrong doesn’t really matter. What matters is if u’ve reached the truth. A bad faith argument is when u argue to prove that you r right for reasons other than getting to the truth.
I’ve seen many ppl just write their hypotheses without any further explanations. It’s rlly rlly annoying when these guys r just like, “yeah, but it IS this way” without any evidence, without even any explanations and so on.
Ideally one should exit bad faith arguments, but still… It’s rlly annoying.
though lemmy’s and reddit’s shitposting communities are the same, still casually using the R word
