For the most part, people are very nice around here especially compared to Reddit and Facebook. Every once in a while, though, because of federation you’ll end up in some random thread full of angry people without even realizing it and say something completely benign, only to be brigaded in response by a whole lot of angry people who constantly sort their instance by new comment and refresh.
Here’s the best way to get that reaction on Lemmy.
Windows is better than Linux. You can game easier, Install older programs easier, you most likely won’t have any issues or have security issues like the Linux crowd says you will. It has amazing built in antivirus and compatibility with tons of hardware. Etc
On Reddit, it was always saying that I prefer manual transmission over automatic that made people very, very angry. I never have understood that one except to think that some people takes it as a personal insult.
It’s actually funny though. I said my fair share of generally downvoted stuff, but most of my replies that weren’t completely overlooked end up with something between 10 and 100 likes as well as exactly 1 dislike.
