In the past week and a half, I've noticed Reddit behaviors starting to try and poison all of the places that people are taking refuge in to get away from the toxicity, myself included. They've started to DDoS Lemmy for a while, which is a Reddit thing to do and what they're notorious of doing whenever they feel they don't like something.
And now they've been trickling in numbers, these incredibly toxic users that behave as they would on Reddit. The reckless shitposting, derailing open civil discussions with unfunny and irrelevant jokes. The downvote brigading and banding together to get you banned. This exact thing has happened to me on Lemmy, that I had to leave because the toxicity was gradually building.
We should reject Reddit toxicity in general, tell them they don't have a place here or anywhere. They know where they can dump their shit in, but they feel that because they've made mountains of it, that they've got to come over to other places and do it all over again.
I left Reddit because the toxicity levels have gotten unbearable. I really am yearning for a place where I can talk in and not be antagonized. I'm sure others are too.
your entire post is instructions for calling people names, you drama queen.. with all the yearning and what not..
They didn't call anyone any names. You are taking this post very personally, do you feel personally attacked by it?
that's it, man.. that's why i'm going to all this trouble to explain myself..
Goodbye.
we'll always have Paris.. we didn't until you said that..
Could you please quote where the OP had these instructions?
check the title, smarty pants
“Be wary of spiteful Reddit users” is not instructions for calling people names.
OP added an adjective to describe a specific class of Reddit users. The body of the OP made it clear it doesn’t apply to all users and therefore isn’t a title.
Can you please quote where in the body or the title the OP placed instructions for calling people names?
