Weird 🤔

Eat farts.

This is the stupidest fucking thing I've seen all day, and it's been a long day.

Can't tell you how strongly I disagree. It feels like the first people on Lemmy are the most insufferable know-it-all and holier-than-thou types from Reddit. Say anything about Microsoft or Windows? Here's 15 commenters telling you how much better they are for having Linux, and 2 commenters on topic, only to be called inferior by the Linux users. Same for Photoshop, same for social media, same for any paid software.

And everyone who has an opinion must insult anyone who disagrees like it's political Twitter, only by people who think they're smarter cause they were never on Twitter.

Lemmy is so toxic it's delaying its development. People lurk cause there are too many assholes talking over everyone else.

The only thing that's better is there are less of those "um ahcktually", pedant types. If you say "everyone", people mostly understand you don't literally mean "everyone."

Go choke on a bag of cocks and die.

Except on news and world news that for me are exactly the same.

[Mean insult]

You kinda need other commenters for that to happen...

Really? I just kind of come here when I really want to feel bad about myself. This community is twice as toxic as reddit if you're not part of the group think.

I hope the devil uses your backbone as a ladder to pick apples in the garden of hell

It's the opposite for me, cuz it seems most of the serious communities are already circlejerks lol

Hey man.. fuck you.

Which communities did you subscribe?

Because my experience is a bit different, people here seem way more polarized with their opinion (which is always right) and angry at random stuff.

I think I never saw so many "landlords haters" in social media like in Lemmy...

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

Wow, this post is absolute trash. You seriously took the time out of your day to create such an absolute fucking trainwreck of a post. I'm unbelievably disappointed and I don't think I am going to be able to sleep at night knowing that such a horrifyingly godawful post exists on this site. My mental health has taken a hit and I may never recover from seeing this post. OP, this is all your fault. If you had just stopped for one second and thought about the ramifications of this crime against humanity, maybe you could have avoided traumatizing thousands of people. But you didn't. I hope you're proud of what you've done, shame on you.

dumb meme i hate you

idrc abt the negativity but I much prefer the low amount of bots on here compared to Reddit

I'm here from reddit. I've been a silent browser since reddit api changes because I stuck with sync, but it kept saying login failed no matter how many times I reset my password. It just worked somehow. Anyway glad I can finally comment

From the POV of a Reddit veteran who had migrated from Digg prior to the v4 update that killed the site, it's absolutely shocking how much better the Lemmy (or at least Lemmy World) community is.

I also feel like I have a lot more freedom to speak my mind on Lemmy.

My problem with Reddit is that I have had to self-censor my comments to avoid getting them automatically purged by bots. It's like I cannot even use words/phrases like 'snowflake', 'cuck', 'incel', 'Trump', 'soy', and many others in a comment, because some fragile power mod decided to effectively shadowban those words. Context doesn't even matter.

Reddit mods are the kind of people who look up to the dystopian ideals George Orwell presented in 1984 and think that banning an entire lexicon of words is a great idea to control people.

As for why I think Lemmy is better, my hypothesis is that everyone with a moral compass left Reddit out of disgust, and what remains is a sea of toxic assholes.

Don’t worry, the political threads are just as vicious as ever.

Your oral hygiene is suboptimal.

fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

Naaa you get your share here. 4 chan trolls are ubiquitous

You're not turtle enough for the Turtle Club.

I'd disagree with that, Lemmy users fucking hate No Nut November

I can help?

bitch

So far, I've encountered far more negativity on Lemmy than I did on reddit. Ymmv, but I feel like our smaller user base has concentrated the negativity.

Fuck you

you magnificent bastard :)

I'll insult you in the comments if you want me to, you little whore.

Yeah, no. Not true. I just dared to say that I despise a certain Tech Corp and people reacted "funnily".

I'm not 100% off Reddit, I still venture over there for my WarHammer faction updates. But holy shit, I dipped my toe outside that circle recently and it's a cesspool of anger.

I hope you stub your toe

To quote The Postal Dude: Fuck you.

Absolutely devastating for my Lemmy /c/InsultMe community

If you see @hexbear in the domain, you can post there and get shit on for days. Hope this helps.

Ur fat

It took me weeks to get used to the fact that I didn’t have to expect aggressive negativity, and to realize that it was okay to give people the benefit of the doubt. I thought I knew how toxic and negative reddit had become, but I didn’t really get it until I compared it to Lemmy.

That is what changed me from a lurker in reddit to a poster in lemmy.

Fuck (Spez)

Hey friend. We care about you. You are loved.

Someone report them for potential self harm

Fuck you! Welcome to Lemmy, we're fun here

You don’t really get insulted in every comments on Reddit though. Try 9gag

this is so true. I haven't yet had anyone be super toxic like reddit. I've has a kind of mean, but never toxic. it's a refreshing change that's for sure.
