at least the blocking system doesn’t silence you here. you can still say whatever you want in any thread you want.
Comment on Lemmy is slowly dying while Reddit thriving
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 1 year agoPersonal opinion, but I think generally the users here are nicer and more chill than Reddit.
That was my experience for a while. Then recently I got blocked by someone who kept downvoting me and getting mad because I didn’t think “kill all republicans” was a healthy way of thinking.
So…I guess like all social media it depends on where you go and with whom you engage.

That is quite nice. And how Reddit used to behave before they got stupid.
However one thing I’ve learned is that when someone deletes their post it doesn’t put a “deleted” placeholder in, it completely removes it. So then if someone goes through your comment history they just see you saying something apropos of nothing, which can be missing important context.
I’m thinking about saying goodbye to this site. It’s not been a good few days mentally for me, and my usual retreat (the internet) has just made it worse. I miss the glory days before Reddit became shit.

I just went and read that exchange, and the person who blocked you never said what you claimed.
You went to an article about someone who stabbed a child 26 times after killing his mother and told people to be more understanding of republicans and not blame them for all the hatred they promote. You’re suprised people got mad at you?
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes. I was surprised to receive that response when I was decrying killing all republicans.
Calling for the death of nearly half of the people in the United States is despicable.
Redsven@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, that’s not at all what the person you were arguing with said. It sounds like you went there to troll and got the reaction you deserved.
I took the time to look through the rest of your comments and, holy shit you suck. Just days ago you were condescending and patronizing gay people for being impatient in gaining equality. I think the best advice I’ve seen on lemmy is to block you.
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No, but it’s what my original (albeit sarcastic) reply was regarding. So their response to me was still framed by my response to calling for murder. I think we’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one though.
Wow. That’s always a great thing to hear first thing in the morning.
If you’re talking about what I said regarding India’s courts, I wasn’t trying to be condescending or patronizing. I was literally saying the courts made the only ruling they could given the laws they had to work with, as shitty and terrible as those laws are. Fuck those laws, but it’s not India’s courts’ job to change them and we shouldn’t be mad at the judges who can’t do anything about those laws. I’m not saying we shouldn’t push for equality as soon as possible, just that those judges aren’t the ones to blame.
This genuinely hurts. Seriously. I try. But I guess I can’t please everyone.
