It's not just you. People will wilfully misinterpret what I'm saying to their liking, sometimes accusing me of nonsense. Some others will jump in out of nowhere as if I owe them money. I have some asshole in my notifications right now trying to defend another asshole for some reason. The best part is how I'm the one getting downvoted for defending myself and calling them out on it.

    I've noticed people just back the person speaking the most strongly or is insulting harder as if those are tactics used by people who are commonly right.

    Honestly even here on lemmy you get how Trump won.
    Even here people can't help supporting the person acting like they are superior.

    These are trolls. We're not immune to trolls here on Lemmy. They have a schedule that can be tracked, lol.

    • Don't take it personal
    • Downvote them
    • Leave one or two comments at most setting the record straight
    • Find something more interesting to discuss in another comment or thread.
    • Don't take it personal or think it's all of Lemmy.

    Any online space is going to have these trolls, but especially a space that's kind of bucking the system and can't be as easily controlled.

    This is awkward but... I think you owe me money.

    The whole karma thing is one of the worst inventions in the internet. The whole upvote if you agree downvote if you don't it's stupid and should be eliminated, no one cares what you vote, if you have something to add reply, if no keep reading, nod your head up and down or left and right and move on.

    Oh, I don't care about the points, I'll still reply in whatever manner I like anyway. It's at least some indicator of how your comment comes across to readers. It's just funny that I win the unpopularity contest for simply defending myself while the other person is spewing bullshit.
