Bro. Someone made a joke and look where you’ve taken this. Chill out.

My man’s angry because he can’t afford a house because big corps run our country and you’re saying he’s wrong because he’s not creating his own telecom?

Your argument of “other people have it worse” is pure ignorance at best.

Also, do you think one person has the ability to move the needle even a little towards fixing the issue? Getting angry is absolutely a step towards progress. We all need to be angry. We need to be angry enough to all work together and make a difference. Not everyone can spend the time needed to even attempt make a difference as an individual, but we can help rally together by ‘complaining’

This all started as a joke and you took it way too seriously and now you’re telling people they can’t feel bad because they aren’t suffering enough compared to others? Dude, cmon.

“Hurl” is another term for vomiting.

This is really nice looking! Thanks for sharing.

The quality of memes is to be expected, but the community is The_Donald levels of toxicity. So, yeah being disapproved of by the community seems to be more of a sign of doing things right.

I’m not upset about it not landing, logically more jokes fall flat rather than land. Instead I found the severely disproportionately adverse reaction to be very distasteful.

Don’t particularly agree with a comment? Don’t upvote it. Just move on. And that is what non-toxic communities will do. Downvotes are essentially saying “this does not belong at all” because they are taking the time to act rather than moving on.

And again, I received some very toxic replies, including from OP which were immediately upvoted, though some of those were deleted.

These things together signal a toxic overall attitude, and particularly so when met with even more toxicity when calling it out, like your comment.

the more you push yourself out of the conversation.

I really don’t care if I am making things worse by retorting with reasoning and logic. Y’all already burned that bridge. Would a Klingon care that a Ferengi disapproves of defending his honor? Why would I care that toxic people disapprove of me pointing out their toxicity?

Hopefully this community pushes out this toxic behavior, which can really only happen by calling it out and using downvotes appropriately.

You asking others what their comment adds when you’ve been ranting and raving a day after you claimed you wouldn’t participate here is telling.

It’s not and you have provided no reasoning as to why. Saying things out loud does not make them true. Am I wrong in wanting to defend my claim that I am experiencing needless toxicity in this community with reasoning and logic?

I just threw out a harmless joke and got rude replies thrown back into my face which were supported by others. I called out that toxic behavior and got even more toxic responses which also garnered support by the community. Some of the toxic comments were deleted. Here’s one that OP deleted (I wonder why):

I have a small amount of optimism that by pointing out this toxicity and backing up my claims may lead to an improvement in the future, or as you quoted me saying before “You can do better in the future”. Then again, maybe not and I could be wasting my time, but I think should at least try.

The same people who reward your toxic comments with upvotes means the whole universe disagrees? That’s not a biased result at all!

I’m toxic cause I made a joke at no-one’s expense and got a severely disproportionately adverse reaction?

What does your comment here even add to this community? You’re just needlessly punching at someone because they made a joke people didn’t agree with which insulted no one. My joke, while many people didn’t like it, still got people to talk about star trek and add to the participation of the community. On the other hand, your comment just adds needless vitriol and has nothing to do with star trek.

To me, it’s very clear that this community, with your help, exudes toxicity. I just wanted to join in on having fun with star trek and got downvoted to hell for it and comments at my expense. Even comments like yours which only add toxicity to the community are being rewarded with upvotes.

I’m mildly interested to hear how that is not solid evidence of a toxic community, but not from someone who immediately jumped to kick me while I’m down because I called out the community for their toxic behavior nor the people who would reward such behavior.

Your comment is perfect proof of the toxicity. Thanks.

Ah yes, the new series. Star Trek: Everyone Is Beautiful - No Uglies Allowed

Wow. It was a joke and y’all took it so seriously. I had no idea this community was so toxic. Good job for making sure I won’t participate in this community again.

I’ll support any courses that are not on Udemy.

A good developer doesn’t need to worry themselves over the language used. For the most part programming principles are universal, besides Object Oriented vs Functional programming languages. Since you’re not moving from, say, Java to Elixir, you should be fine.

Lobbying is easy: “we’ll give you free first class flights if you don’t pass any laws against us”

The lack of organization in this kills me.
