You are a moron, sorry. Structure is not what makes or breaks a forum. The type of participants does. Lemmy it self kind of sucks because of the type of people that attend it. A good quality forum would avoid popularity anyways.

    You are a moron

    If you're gonna make opinionated posts like this, you might want to get a little better at accepting criticism or disagreement

    I have offered counter arguments, insults shouldn't matter. My reply was not a baseless insult, and I actually replied and counter argued. The person I replied to just put a baseless claim and you expect us to just accept it?

    I imagine what the other commenter meant was that your post would have been 10x better just by removing the “You are a moron” sentence from the beginning.

    Yes, in a perfect world, arguments should be all that matter. But on the other end of the little text replies here is (presumably) a real human being, and sometimes your argument doesn’t get across as well if you sandwich it with insults.

    No need to open a comment with an offense btw.

    But in the type of participants, federation allows that a la carte. Within what each instance's willing to handle, you can find anything from commies to journalists to weebs to reviewers to MAGA folk to porn artists to IT technicians to pirates to whatever else. The list can go quite far from what I've observed in the ~4 years I've been around.
