@VoxAdActa called me a “cry baby” out of nowhere, “for having to go somewhere else to see hate speech”.

Perhaps you should report them. From the lemmy code of conduct:

"Personal insults, particularly those related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or disability."

Oh wait, being ageist is perfectly acceptable.

Do you think everybody you speak to is an idiot that doesn't know when you're sneering down your nose at them like some toff on a high horse?

Yes, you hurt my feelings but I reject your apology as it clearly isn't serious. So, you can either apologise properly like an adult or admit you're just a childish troll trying to abuse people online but not having the wit to do so.

Being able to defederate in the fediverse is significantly better than anything else out there.

Maybe, maybe not. I've not tried all the alternatives and I doubt you have too.

It’s not like Reddit.

Yes, I know. That's what I said. Many people are leaving reddit and checking out lemmy only to discover all these quirks that ensure it wil not replace reddit. Since, that is what people are looking for, they continue looking.

Idk why it’s so hard to understand.

It's not hard to understand in the slightest. I don't know why you thought I found it hard to understand. Did you just read my comment, completelty ignore it, the repond to some completely imagined bullshit? Why yes, you did!

If you want to be a piece of shit child trol

Like you with your passive agressive bullshit above?

I was hoping Lemmy could be the reddit replacement I was looking for, but obviously not. This type of idiotic bullshit "by design" is precisely why none of these federated sites stand a chance of replacing something like reddit.

I've only been here a week and there's already been a bunch of defederations. I wonder how long it will take for all instances to defederate from each other?
