I’m not necessarily hurt, just mildly annoyed - mostly because on my end, I’ve made it clear that my life doesn’t revolve around Lemmy and even if it did, I’m not sure it’s very common for people to read through an entire comments section or memorize who wrote what comment. So it’s strange that that would even be some kind of argument.

Context is definitely important, but I feel like my points still stand - if it’s really that bad, people should leave, and they don’t need a post to tell them to leave if it is that bad. If they like Lemmy enough, they can work together on a new site, or apply for admin/moderator positions so that these things are taken care of.

Maybe it’s just some weird pet peeve. Like… I get to decide if Lemmy’s safe for me or not. I don’t need someone else to tell me just because they had a bad experience (and I don’t want to minimize that, because it is shitty, but again, this stuff sadly is EVERYWHERE).

I feel like it could’ve been better to say “Hey, it’s been a topic of discussion lately, and the mods are shit. How do we want to proceed?” Instead it just feels self-centered and demanding. I don’t like it. And that totally could be a “me” thing, I can be overly sensitive with tone.

(And as a bit of an aside, it may not be clear from how I type but I really do have cognitive issues - they’re extra bad today for whatever reason and trying to word things has been a pain whether it seems that way or not. It’s definitely a “processing only a few lines of text at a time” sort of day. No idea what’s making things worse, but I hope it clears up sooner rather than later)
