"I don’t really see why people continue to blame the lockdown for why it has impacted socializing"
I'm not blaming just the lockdown but it certainly played a part. For a lot of people who are now legal adults it happened at a formative stage of their social development.
"I wouldn’t just put the magnifying glass on 4chan when Reddit and Kiwi Farms are just as bad if not worse."
True.
We live in online world that normalises abusing women gamers on Twitch, DM-ing women in order to hit on them and/or attack them on Insta or whatever, that considers sites like 4chan legitimate humour and where a web search for something like a gym membership can bombard you with scum like Tate.
Add to that the hit that people's socialisation skills took during lockdown, governments around the Westernised world normalising hate and violence as legitimate ways to get what you want and then dangle in front of them the fictional lives influencers flaunt on Instagram, TikTok etc and tell them they too could have that life if they do this that and the other oh and by the way, its totally fine to abuse women to prove your masculinity because you, as a man, are owed sex by women.
All these reasons like 'men are lonely', 'gender roles are different' - yeah they play a part but lets not pretend this shit hasn't been coming for a long time and men being sad they have less role models is no excuse for the rationalisation of violent hate that's on display.
Thatcher did the same over here. Called it 'Care in the Community' which translates as 'Vastly increasing the at risk and vulnerable unhoused population'.
"I’m from India and the word “commie” in my country is referred as a far left,"
Communism is its own thing. Whilst its not exactly inaccurate to describe it as far left, there are also lots of far left people who are not Communists.
"Why? Do they ban you if you fight like a redditor in the comments?"
That depends on the Community (subreddit) you're in and the instance you're using. They might, they might not. But the reason I said it is because people joining Lemmy solely in order to get into fights with people is not what Lemmy needs.
Lemmy is a piece of software. Its two main developers are communists. The software runs on many different servers (instances) that are mostly not communist and the two developers do not enforce any political ideology on the use or users of Lemmy (and couldn't even if they wanted to, which they clearly don't). There are two or three instances that are communist.
That said, if you're from the USA I'd hazard a guess that the word 'commie' to you is probably a person slightly to the left of Bill Clinton. At the moment, the entirety of Lemmy does lean slightly left and is generally progressive which is a refreshing change to the constant brain numbing right wing shitholes most mainstream social media sites are.
I'd urge you to not go looking for a fight. Just ignore, block and move on. This isn't reddit.
She is a successful author. She's never been a great author. Great authors know how to write with originality and imagination. JKR merely took a handful of fantasy and British empire tropes, put them in a blender with ideas 'inspired' by vastly better writers and with the help of a PR team, created a marketable franchise.
Along the way, she became consumed by an utterly irrational hatred which is now creating a horrific world for the people she targeted with her marketing money.
All I see are props for black metal album covers.
Equally strong probably but I'd assume a bear is faster and more aggressive. Also has a set of steak knives on each paw.
You've got to let him find his own way. Please don't take this as overly-critical but you do come off as sounding more like his parent than his partner. I totally get wanting to make things as easy as possible for him but you can still do that if you're a year ahead of him. And he gets the opportunity to find his feet by himself - I'm sure he'd ask you if he needed help and you giving him space also tells him that you believe in him.
Maybe uncharitably, my first thought when reading a post like this is "what shitty thing do you want to say?".
But I don't know you so maybe I am being uncharitable.
But you have to realise the fediverse in general is not owned by capitalist orgs with high priced legal teams. Its mostly small teams of private individuals. If someone posts something illegal, including defamatory, in their legal jurisdiction (which is probably not the USA) then they might be on the hook for it too.
Even if you run your own instance if you're enough of a dick it'll get defederated or you'll be banned from multiple instances/communities.
Learn to play nice in other peoples yard. Its hard sometimes but just walking away and blocking is the best option. Sometimes I need to make more effort to do that too.
