Because you're seeing them as an idealized object of desire, not as a person.
How to break out of this: think of a bunch of flaws they could have that would be challenging but not deal-breakers.

Kind of shares the same problem I had with Mobilizon in that none of the current instances are in my region, or my language for that matter.
What the fuck is this circlejerk bullshit? Steam is a competent platform, that's it.
All Steam revolutionized is getting people to download DRM and psychologically manipulating them into buying EXEs they will never download with skins that are pretty much NFTs in all but name and people act like they're the 3rd coming of god.
There's a phrase for that: Counterjerking too hard. Judging by the reactions you're getting from this, seems you've done it twice in a row.
Remember, counterjerking is not a principled stance; those who stand for nothing will fall for everything.
I quote it nearly every day
There is no problem that can't be solved by getting off Twitter
Hmm wonder why people would quit a circlejerk platform that bans people who call out when someone posts literal fascist propaganda.
It's because beehaw mandates its positivity. I once called out one of their posts as being fascist and they banned me for being rude about it.
I feel like any place that forces people to be positive in a world where there's so much injustice is always going to passively side with evil.
Edit, dang this is very different than Reddit’s vcj.
Yeah lemmy's creeping nazification has made posting anything veganism just an absolutely insufferable experience.
Unrelated: IDK why, but for some reason I'm getting serious nazi propaganda energy from this meme format
Salmon 1: "Oh gosh, i'm out of the water. I cannot breathe. If this continues for much longer I will surely perish. What a sad state of affairs."
Salmon 2: "YOU FCKFACE YOU CANNOT KILL ME BY TAKING ME OUT OF WATER I WILL SUCK THE MOISTURE OUT OF THE AIR THEN SPIT BLOOD INTO YOUR SOUL, AUUUGGGHHH! SEX!!! SEEXXX!!! I NEED SEEEEXXXXXXX!!!!"
I would like to think that for a very brief moment they have a glimmer of lucidity and realize "wow that's really fucking annoying"
How do you respectfully say "this is nazi propaganda?" You can't. That's the point. That's why they do it.
