cricket97Lemmy has just as many terminally online weirdos as reddit, except I’ve noticed there’s a higher concentration of extremists. In my short time here, I’ve been threatened by someone to dox me and accuse me as a pedophile, and another person wishing death upon me because I disagreed with them about policing. Definitely still some weirdos here
Agreed, watch out for the fuckcars guys 😂, I landed there by mistake once lol
Yeah, fuck your car. I’m riding a train rn.
Hahaha watch out for the crackhead over there
GuildoI hope he’s from a civilized country. In europe we have in many countries excellent public transport. If you are seeing crackheads all day long in trains you’re probably from US.
Well there are no trains where I’m from haha , not from US… But the crackhead image was based on rich US imagery lol
Yeah Europe is cool, but he said fuck my car so I had to say something back 😂😂
souryou won't die if you didn't
Lol true
Yeah once someone on fuckcars found a post of my car in a car sub. The idea I have a car I like, yet dislike the fact I need a car, seemed to break their brain. In true reddit fashion they were instantly in cringe debate-bro mode.
Yeah, there’s a few places that get stuck in a purity cycle. It’s not enough to dislike cars and think they shouldn’t have such a special status in our society; they need to be gone entirely, with zero consideration for deliveries, people with disabilities, how to rearrange existing cities to make this work, or other special factors. It’s not enough to resist societal pressure to have children; people who have children are evil for even bringing up a child in a world of doom.
I’m on board with both. Been building a DIY e-bike conversion to reduce dependence on cars, and my wife and I long ago decided not to have kids (and took steps to permanently make sure it doesn’t happen). The extreme versions of these views aren’t productive.
What the actual fuck that’s not ok. I like fuck cars content, but yeah motherfucker I drive every day this is life.
You havet really lived the Reddit nightmare until someone tells you to go KYS over something as innocuous as a differing opinion on games…and so you report a KYS and then the Reddit admin simply send you the suicide hotline and dust off their hands. NAILED IT.

But then you say something like, “Fuck Nazi scum” and suddenly you’re banned.
are we talking about reddit here? the entire place circlejerks about how evil nazis are.
Except for the mods, who will ban you for saying mean things about nazis or racists.
oh please
I made the mistake of checking the inbox on my old Reddit account, and there was a new reply from a post I made a year ago. It was one giant paragraph with few punctuation marks and almost all lowercase. It started out with “you sound dumb”, went on to say I need to accept Christ into my heart, and that the devil was using me as a tool and would spit me out when he’s done with me.
What was it in reply to? I said a guy cited in the article was a crank, and not a real scientist, because he believed the moon was made of plasma.
went on to say I need to accept Christ into my heart
I despise people who are so arrogant as to push their religion on strangers. Some of the only people I won’t treat courteously irl.
What did you say about policing?
I said (in the context of violent criminals) that rehabilitation should not be the main goal but rather keeping dangerous people away from functioning members of society.
Proper hot take there, no wonder they went off at you.
hey just a heads up, they linked their post that got death wished on them in the replies, it’s in this thread about a bystander death due to police pursuit where they defend the cops actions, not their comments in some other thread arguing about rehabilitation.
There it is!
TPP are really, really dumb, and will scream like chimpanzees every time someone disagrees with them. I’m not surprised they sent death threats to someone for saying they’d like to see criminals caught.
SirStumpsI mentioned a few ways the Democrats and Republicans are similar and the “open” minded Democrats just started trying to demean me. Not one Republican btw. Blows my mind the irony of these extremists.
That’s because republicans like it when you say they are the same lol
You may be right. Didn’t think of that one.
Wait but I like terminally online weirdos, and radicals… Maybe thos with better social skills though rofl. Anyway consider yourself doxxed and swatted and swiftied and your house is being eaten by antifascist carpenter ants.
Was the pedophile accusation in the same thread in which you were claiming drag shows are too sexual for children? Was the disagreement about policing in the thread where you said rehabilitation doesn’t work and the only way to keep society safe is to lock up more people?
Hahaha I knew they’d have shit takes, thanks for saving me time going to look.
Haha its fine that they got death threats because they have shit opinions
You should reconsider your opinion if it prompts people to threaten your life when you express it.
do you understand how ridiculous you sound
You are genuinely fucked in the head.
Does that warrant doxxing and death threats?
I’m not sure. I want to look it up and see what was said to them so I asked about the two threads they were commenting in most recently that it could be.
In what scenario would those opinions justify death threats and doxxing + fake pedo allegations?
I’m gonna reply to your other, longer comment.
Still doesn’t warrant doxxing or death threats
I’m not sure if it does myself but I wanna read what happened and those were the most recent threads I saw that roughly fit the description.
He told The Police Problem that police should be able to police people. The result was unsurprising.
That’s a group of people who are utterly cooked.
So what? None of those opinions justify the threats I got. I do think drag shows are often too sexual for children. And I do believe rehabilitation should take a backseat to keeping people on the street safe. That was the basis for which I received those threats for, and predictably people like you come and imply I deserve it.
I haven’t had time to read the drag show thread but I didn’t see anyone wishing death upon you in the policing thread after a quick glance. Can you link it if I missed that reply?
I believe both posts were deleted after I reported them. Is there a way to view deleted replies on lemmy?
You can click on the modlog at the bottom of the page and filter it.
I’m not surprised it was the police problem, they think police should be unable to do anything, companies should accept theft as a cost of doing business, and they will scream like chimpanzees in the comments if you disagree with them.
Utterly deranged group of people.
That’s because all the asshats that have been banned for saying shit like that on Reddit are here now and haven’t been banned yet.
It’s just a matter of time before the nazi mods and wokies take over.
They’re already taking over. Say anything too strange and you will get downvoted to oblivion and/or removed. Then the evidence is erased.
Yeah reddit is the mainstream and lemmy is bleeding edge.
But imgur… those weirdos are just flatlined on crazy lol
