Lemmy 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
the Reddit nightmare when someone tells you to go KYS over something as innocuous as a differing opinion on games…and so you report a KYS comment and then the Reddit admin simply send you the suicide hotline and dust off their hands. NAILED IT.
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.
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?
e1: the post wishing death on @[email protected] was in response to their multiple comments defending the dangerous actions of police that resulted in the death of a bystander made in a thread on [email protected], which has explicit rules against defending the police.
here’s the post:
CW: descriptions of death
You’re a bootlicking asshole who worships cops. Your idea of justice is catch the “criminal” and damn anyone that gets in the way. Fuck you man. I hope you become some of that collateral damage one day. I hope your family gets to miss you because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time as some careless pig chased a stolen car straight into your driver’s side door.
and here’s the thread in question in case anyone else wants to read it
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.
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?
https://lemmy.world/comment/3879109 here is the comment wishing death upon me.
I’ll keep searching for the one that threatened to hack me and dox me as a pedophile who raped kids. It actually wasn’t in either of the two threads mentioned, it was another thread.
thanks for providing the link! lemmy modlog can be hard to navigate sometimes so i understand it might take a while to chase the other post down.
you went into a thread in !thepoliceproblem about an innocent bystander getting killed due to cops actions and defended the police. here’s the other person’s entire reply, for posterity:

I do not hope that you die.
after reading your responses in that thread i do think that person is right about everything else though. you go out of your way to defend the criminal justice system and the carceral state in the context of a discussion about how it’s endangering bystanders in a space that is explicitly about the problems with the carceral state, the criminal justice system and militant policing.
you’re the problem in that thread, not someone mouthing off because you didn’t read the room.
the room, by the way, has “If you’re here to support the police, you’re trolling. Please exercise your right to remain silent.” as rule number two right there in the sidebar, so there’s really no excuse for acting the way you did and then snapping back at the person who politely pointed that out to you later in that thread.
This all seems like excuses to justify someone wishing death upon another person. Btw, this showed up on the frontpage, and I’m not going to read the novel of rules for every single subreddit (or whatever the lemmy equivalent is) I participate in. Although they do have the right to ban me (which they did and I’m not complaining).
tl;dr wishing death upon other commenters is fine as long as they are posting something that is disagreeable
No, they commented on an article about an innocent bystander being killed by a criminal fleeing the law. And I certainly don’t support people forming a rabid circle jerk and banning anyone who disagrees with them, regardless of the topic.
Both you, and the person you’re agreeing with, need to re-think your lives a bit, because neither of you seem to be able to cope with someone disagreeing with you in a civilised manner.
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.
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.
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.
Childfree is another one full of weirdos who take it to a whole other level.
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.
I 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.
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.
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.
I 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.

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 despise people who are so arrogant as to push their religion on strangers. Some of the only people I won’t treat courteously irl.

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.
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.
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.
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?

look forward to seeing the other post.
I never would have guessed disagreeing is actually worse than wishing death on someone for disagreeing, thank you for the lesson in ethics

Utterly deranged group of people.

Agreed, watch out for the fuckcars guys 😂, I landed there by mistake once lol
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.
Childfree is another one full of weirdos who take it to a whole other level.
What the actual fuck that’s not ok. I like fuck cars content, but yeah motherfucker I drive every day this is life.
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.

Yeah, fuck your car. I’m riding a train rn.
Hahaha watch out for the crackhead over there
I 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 😂😂
you won’t die if you didn’t
Lol true
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.

What did you say about policing?
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.
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.
There it is!
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.
Yeah reddit is the mainstream and lemmy is bleeding edge.
But imgur… those weirdos are just flatlined on crazy lol

That’s because republicans like it when you say they are the same lol
You may be right. Didn’t think of that one.
