    I’ve had less toxic experiences on reddit. Here I’ve had people use my post history to insult me and I even had some jackass respond to me 3 months later after some change Firefox did to “prove” he was right. Even though he was still wrong. Not to mention the tankies and other troll instances. I deleted my account on reddit years ago due to the toxicity there and I still find it less toxic now than Lemmy whenever I lurk there. Lemmy is dying because of the toxicity here. My subscribed feed used to have at least an hour or two of content to look at but it’s slowly been less and less, and mostly just automated bot posts now. I spend less than 10 minutes a day here now because there’s just nothing here. And I know someone is going to be a dick when replying to this and I’ll just have to block 2 or 3 people again.

      lol you called dude a “Fucking removed” for posting a link on a 3 month old comment thread that you could have just ignored.

      I generally look at someone’s comment history before replying to them to see if it’s even worth a reply. The internet has been and always will be (without heavy authoritarian moderation) full of trolls, Bad Faith Actors, and idiots. Block everyone, cry victim, whatever makes you feel better. Maybe if you keep running into assholes and trolls you should reflect on your comment history and how you interact with people online. The kind of comments you feel the need to comment back to (because you don’t need to comment on anything, like ever) you don’t need to.

      It’s wild that you don’t have the self-reflection to realize that your comments calling people “removeds” and “morons” perpetuate the same toxicity that you’re complaining about.

      Welcome to the Internet though.

        You’re the problem and exactly the type of person to block so thanks for proving my point.

        I also want to point out how you could’ve just not responded instead of trying to pick a fight. Also even more irony how you claim I don’t have self reflection but then you come in and do the exact aggressive behavior that I explained in my post but none of you ever stop to think that just maybe I don’t care anymore about being nice on this app due to you people. Get over yourself.

          I’m not the one complaining “people are mean”. You’re either a troll or incapable of self-reflection, which is why your “block list” is just going to keep growing and growing, and you’ll never learn or change.

          Good luck on your journey though.

          Buddy, your comment history is covered with you lashing out like child at others who never interacted with you directly. You’re absolutely the problem.

          If you smell shit everywhere you go, check your shoes.

      When Reddit happens to pop up on Google search results for something, I sometimes check my old account inbox. There have been two separate accounts replying to a years old anti-pseudoscience post of mine saying that if I don’t believe the moon is plasma, then I won’t be right with Jesus. Yes, really. Only one of them knows how to properly capitalize sentences, so it’s definitely two separate people.

      At least on Lemmy, blocking two instances cuts out most of the tankie crap and the experience becomes immediately better.
