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.

      You must have a very distinctive description in how you define what stalking is. I’m going by the universally agreed definition of what stalking is. This is, on all accounts, stalking and they knew that.

      I can’t quite care. Because, I know very well that I’m not the one who threw the first stone in the first place. But everyone still hasn’t grown up past the phase in their childhood where they can’t take accountability for their actions, so it MUST be the person they’re scapegoating because that person is addressing the shit they refuse to owe up to. It’s very childish and I’m ashamed to know so many self-acclaimed “sophisticated adults” behave like children, still.

      You’re making it sound like I’m running for some office, which isn’t the case. Might want to tune down the dramatizing tone a bit.

          One of which was committed. They directly linked an entirely different post and asked if it was me. That’s entirely stalking. I know you’re trying so hard to be righteous in everything but, learn to be wrong for once. It’s embarrassing how desperate you are to paint me as the villain and to make yourself look virtuous. God, I can feel the entitlement levels from here.

          But I’m done with you, because you’re clearly unreasonable. Blocked.

        It’s in no reasonable definition stalking, shut up

        Yet again ignoring that it doesn’t matter who threw the first stone, perpetuating the negativity is not how adults handle things

          If you were in my scenario, you’d totally be saying it different but just because you’re on the outside of it, you’re pretty ignorant. Therefore, you should shut up. :)

            I’ve had people click my profile before my guy, it’s not stalking in any way

            You seem to lack the basic grasp of how to use a site like this, you should probably stop until you figure it out better
