the Reddit nightmare when someone tells you to go KYS over something as innocuous as a differing opinion on games…and so you report a KYS and then the Reddit admin simply send you the suicide hotline and dust off their hands. NAILED IT.

Lemmy has just as many terminally online weirdos as reddit, except I’ve noticed there’s a higher concentration of extremists. In my short time here, I’ve been threatened by someone to dox me and accuse me as a pedophile, and another person wishing death upon me because I disagreed with them about policing. Definitely still some weirdos here

But then you say something like, “Fuck Nazi scum” and suddenly you’re banned.
cricket97@lemmy.world 1 year ago
are we talking about reddit here? the entire place circlejerks about how evil nazis are.
Goo_bubbs@lemmings.world 1 year ago
Except for the mods, who will ban you for saying mean things about nazis or racists.
Spliffman1@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Agreed, watch out for the fuckcars guys 😂, I landed there by mistake once lol
banneryear1868@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah once someone on fuckcars found a post of my car in a car sub. The idea I have a car I like, yet dislike the fact I need a car, seemed to break their brain. In true reddit fashion they were instantly in cringe debate-bro mode.
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
What the actual fuck that’s not ok. I like fuck cars content, but yeah motherfucker I drive every day this is life.
frezik@midwest.social 1 year ago
Yeah, there’s a few places that get stuck in a purity cycle. It’s not enough to dislike cars and think they shouldn’t have such a special status in our society; they need to be gone entirely, with zero consideration for deliveries, people with disabilities, how to rearrange existing cities to make this work, or other special factors. It’s not enough to resist societal pressure to have children; people who have children are evil for even bringing up a child in a world of doom.
I’m on board with both. Been building a DIY e-bike conversion to reduce dependence on cars, and my wife and I long ago decided not to have kids (and took steps to permanently make sure it doesn’t happen). The extreme versions of these views aren’t productive.
Holdoooo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, fuck your car. I’m riding a train rn.
Spliffman1@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hahaha watch out for the crackhead over there
Guildo@feddit.de 1 year ago
I hope he’s from a civilized country. In europe we have in many countries excellent public transport. If you are seeing crackheads all day long in trains you’re probably from US.

I made the mistake of checking the inbox on my old Reddit account, and there was a new reply from a post I made a year ago. It was one giant paragraph with few punctuation marks and almost all lowercase. It started out with “you sound dumb”, went on to say I need to accept Christ into my heart, and that the devil was using me as a tool and would spit me out when he’s done with me.
What was it in reply to? I said a guy cited in the article was a crank, and not a real scientist, because he believed the moon was made of plasma.

went on to say I need to accept Christ into my heart
I despise people who are so arrogant as to push their religion on strangers. Some of the only people I won’t treat courteously irl.
mechoman444@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s because all the asshats that have been banned for saying shit like that on Reddit are here now and haven’t been banned yet.
It’s just a matter of time before the nazi mods and wokies take over.
Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Wait but I like terminally online weirdos, and radicals… Maybe thos with better social skills though rofl. Anyway consider yourself doxxed and swatted and swiftied and your house is being eaten by antifascist carpenter ants.
SirStumps@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I mentioned a few ways the Democrats and Republicans are similar and the “open” minded Democrats just started trying to demean me. Not one Republican btw. Blows my mind the irony of these extremists.
BROMETHIUS@startrek.website 1 year ago
That’s because republicans like it when you say they are the same lol
SirStumps@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You may be right. Didn’t think of that one.
PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah reddit is the mainstream and lemmy is bleeding edge.
But imgur… those weirdos are just flatlined on crazy lol
explodicle@local106.com 1 year ago
What did you say about policing?
gayhitler420@lemm.ee 1 year ago
hey just a heads up, they linked their post that got death wished on them in the replies, it’s in this thread about a bystander death due to police pursuit where they defend the cops actions, not their comments in some other thread arguing about rehabilitation.
explodicle@local106.com 1 year ago
There it is!
cricket97@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I said (in the context of violent criminals) that rehabilitation should not be the main goal but rather keeping dangerous people away from functioning members of society.
gayhitler420@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Was the pedophile accusation in the same thread in which you were claiming drag shows are too sexual for children? Was the disagreement about policing in the thread where you said rehabilitation doesn’t work and the only way to keep society safe is to lock up more people?
Custoslibera@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Hahaha I knew they’d have shit takes, thanks for saving me time going to look.
cricket97@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Haha its fine that they got death threats because they have shit opinions
Custoslibera@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You should reconsider your opinion if it prompts people to threaten your life when you express it.
njinx@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Still doesn’t warrant doxxing or death threats
gayhitler420@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m not sure if it does myself but I wanna read what happened and those were the most recent threads I saw that roughly fit the description.
checksout@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Does that warrant doxxing and death threats?
gayhitler420@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’m not sure. I want to look it up and see what was said to them so I asked about the two threads they were commenting in most recently that it could be.
cricket97@lemmy.world 1 year ago
In what scenario would those opinions justify death threats and doxxing + fake pedo allegations?
cricket97@lemmy.world 1 year ago
So what? None of those opinions justify the threats I got. I do think drag shows are often too sexual for children. And I do believe rehabilitation should take a backseat to keeping people on the street safe. That was the basis for which I received those threats for, and predictably people like you come and imply I deserve it.
gayhitler420@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I haven’t had time to read the drag show thread but I didn’t see anyone wishing death upon you in the policing thread after a quick glance. Can you link it if I missed that reply?
cricket97@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I believe both posts were deleted after I reported them. Is there a way to view deleted replies on lemmy?
