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.

        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?

                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.
