  lemmy.world/comment/3879109 here is the comment wishing death upon me.
  I’ll keep searching for the one that threatened to hack me and dox me as a pedophile who raped kids. It actually wasn’t in either of the two threads mentioned, it was another thread.

    thanks for providing the link! lemmy modlog can be hard to navigate sometimes so i understand it might take a while to chase the other post down.

    you went into a thread in !thepoliceproblem about an innocent bystander getting killed due to cops actions and defended the police. here’s the other person’s entire reply, for posterity:

    You’re a bootlicking asshole who worships cops. Your idea of justice is catch the “criminal” and damn anyone that gets in the way. Fuck you man. I hope you become some of that collateral damage one day. I hope your family gets to miss you because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time as some careless pig chased a stolen car straight into your driver’s side door.

    I do not hope that you die.

    after reading your responses in that thread i do think that person is right about everything else though. you go out of your way to defend the criminal justice system and the carceral state in the context of a discussion about how it’s endangering bystanders *in a space that is explicitly about the problems with the carceral state, the criminal justice system and militant policing.

    you’re the problem in that thread, not someone mouthing off because you didn’t read the room.

    the room, by the way, has “If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.” as rule number two right there in the sidebar, so there’s really no excuse for acting the way you did and then snapping back at the person who politely pointed that out to you later in that thread.

    look forward to seeing the other post.

      This all seems like excuses to justify someone wishing death upon another person. Btw, this showed up on the frontpage, and I’m not going to read the novel of rules for every single subreddit (or whatever the lemmy equivalent is) I participate in. Although they do have the right to ban me (which they did and I’m not complaining).

      tl;dr wishing death upon other commenters is fine as long as they are posting something that is disagreeable

        Here’s that novel of rules:

        RULES

        ① Real-life decorum is expected. Please don’t say things only a child or a jackass would say in person.

        ② If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.

        ③ Saying cops should be killed lowers the IQ in any conversation. They’re about killing people; we’re not.

        Please also abide by the instance rules.

        That’s for anyone reading along, I believe you when you say you’re not gonna read them.

        I don’t wish death on you.

        You seem like a heartless and knowingly thoughtless person who feels entitled to be heard but not to listen or abide by norms, complaining of the wounds others have put upon you but silent about your own transgressions.

        My sympathy lies with the embattled users afflicted by your awful posts rather than you, cursed to know that people who interact with you hate you.

        I don’t think that’s all there is to you. If you want to be seen in a more charitable light, maybe read all those rules before you post, take some time to consider the place, time and context of what you’re reading and of course, remember the person on the other side of the keyboard.

        You can also use a platform that accepts your behavior. Reddit and twitter aren’t closed to new users.

      I never would have guessed disagreeing is actually worse than wishing death on someone for disagreeing, thank you for the lesson in ethics
