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, 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.
