    It’s sort of the same thing with internet atheism. The online versions are always a cartoon villain version of the real deal.

      I think it’s basically the same with internet everything? Especially in social media spaces with algorithms that incentivise combative responses…

      I do find that it’s less bad on the fediverse (Lemmy, Mastodon) than on the mainstream equivalents. It’s still present, but it gets called out and downvoted more, I think. Hopefully it stays that way.
