    This is the hive mentality that drives social media. It’s the only way it can succeeed. That, and the uquenching need for validation of course.

      Reddit/Lemmy are definitely worse in this regard than something like Instagram

    Game of Thrones (the book and series) was way over rated. 4.5/10 wouldn’t stop half way through again.

    I don’t like when people just say they like or dislike something… I like when they can explain why they like or dislike something. If they can’t do that, I assume their like/dislike is just group pressure from the beginning.

    Comparing two different things.

    • liking something barely anyone likes -> no one is invested enough to care.
    • disliking something everyone loves -> everyone is invested

    Someone (irl) said that Metallica - St. Anger is a great album the other day and it caused a bit of a ruckus in the group (mostly “oh, that’s a new sentence”)

      Some of St. Anger’s songwriting is ok. The drums are absolutely ridiculous & the production is ass in general. But some live versions of St. Anger songs can be decent to good.

    There’s a lot of (hopefully joking) hate on the pineapple pizza crowd. If you liked certain Star Wars movies you’re likely to have all your Star Wars opinions disregarded by other fans. I think people like to make fun of the out group regardless.
