I mean, the likeliness between the two is incredibly similar. I mean yeah sure, Spez has no power here in the Fediverse and Lemmy in general, but that doesn’t take away how there are so many problematic users. The same problematic user type, that you’d find on something like Reddit.
I had this experience just recently, some asshole fashioned themselves to be a torpedo and just took a great dump on a post of mine. With intent to gaslight and incite arguments which they successfully did, while acting like an oblivious bastard when they knowingly are being the instigator in an otherwise civil discussion.
That is so something a Reddit user would do and I’m not convinced that Lemmy is any different. Lemmy is just simply a spinoff of Reddit, just a place where the rejects go to, to shit up on everyone at any given time.
And don’t give me the whole “but but the internet is full of these kinds of people.” argument. Redditors have a special kind of behavior that is distinctive from any average asshole you find on the internet.


Oh ho! Someone knows how to dig into another user’s history and bring it up! Another Reddit-like behavior! Keep proving me right. What are the chances you’re an alt of that someone I argued with? Highly likely.
Wow, pretty salty for someone threatening bodily harm on a post you made about harassing people. Glad your stuff got deleted tbh, nobody needs to see that. Get help.
Wow, pretty wild assumptions for someone with a reading comprehension disorder.
You seem like a real peach. Go back to Reddit.
I’m instantly shadow-banned from Reddit no matter how many accounts I make there. I kind of consider it a godsend and I’ve had my time spent there already.
Maybe it’s you and your little butt-buddies that ought to take the same advice.
…but you’re the one complaining that you don’t like Lemmy? Why would they leave because you’re unhappy?
Hi, #9.
How does me comparing Lemmy to Reddit = me not liking Lemmy? I don’t care whether or not they leave. I just find it hypocritical to tell me to go somewhere that they’re probably from. It’s called irony.
My bad, I didn’t know that you loved Reddit so much.
I don’t.
I wonder why

Okay cool, so some of you collected your brain cells enough to presumably report me and have me banned? Cool story. But again, what would I really lose from here as to compare from what I’ll gain from the ban? All that you’ll ever have is temporary victories.
It’s sad, actually, how many of you tie your existence to that little karma system. Does make you feel good don’t it? How empowering it must make you feel, over someone who has lesser than you, to deal with them and think that they tie their existence to it too.
Lol, I don’t, if that’s ever the case. The purpose of it has never made sense in the beginning, it’s just an internet toy at best.
You brought up a post that went sideways. Looking in your post history and trying to tie what you’re saying in its context before forming an opinion is a bad thing because…?
It’s an example. I know, terrifying discovery there to know what an example is.
Dude you freaked out and weirdly described how you’d kill somebody, before going on what is now a multi-day whinge about how Lemmy is Reddit or whatever. You’re acting very, very strange - it might be time to pop outside for a little walk and to take a breather.
That is some pathetic attempt at deflection you got going on there. I’d call it gaslighting, but I don’t want to insult actual gaslighting.
That’s some pretty unoriginal thought you’ve got going there.
I mean come on, I’m seeing everything in practice here. This IS reddit in every degree. Every downvote applied to me, while everyone upvotes eachother like they’re giving themselves appraising ass-slaps for feeling like they’re smarter and wittier over someone else online. Christ, it’s appallingly clear.
bold talk for 2d old account

if your posts get you banned every other week, you’re not worth anyone’s time here. try to have fun if you are able to
Oh, ouch! The e-wound I felt from that!
What would I honestly be losing from not participating in here in this echo chamber, hmm? Oh no, I would lose the opportunity to engage in a <66,000 (feels more like about 200 people talking than anything) community. Where, most of them are just waiting at the bit to antagonize and instigate arguments at a given to any other honest poster.
Oh! Ahhh! The agony! What will I ever do! Oh no! Then that’ll mean I just will have to watch YouTube videos, game more and probably engage in more fruitful communities than a dumpster fire! What will I ever do!?
Because this is where all of the philosophers and 120+ IQ pointed people hang out at, right? In Lemmy?
Stephen Hawking
you’re being shown the door. nobody is holding you there and at any point you are free to fuck off to rdrama or whatever other hole you’ve crawled from. but i already can guess you’re gonna get back here couple of days after you’ll get inevitably banned again, i’m starting to think that you like it
You see, the difference here is at Stephen Hawking is actually intelligent, super-smart level. To reference him, is to imply that you are on his level, which you totally aren’t and I admit I’m not either. Plus, Stephen Hawking never needed to boast about I.Q scores because he just demonstrated how smart he actually was.
Which again, details the idea of how over-your-head the context of that quote is, proving once again, how much of a dumbass you really are.
Right, I am going to come back here in another few days. Again, won’t lose much when I would be banned from here.
It’s the thread you were talking about, though, right?
Pot meet kettle…
That’s not how that idiom works.
Ah, yeah it does. You can stop moving the goal posts.
That’s not how that one works either.
No one cares, loser. Only you.
Hey, you got one right.
