Yup. Just like Reddit.
That would hurt a lot more if you had a fucking brain.
It's really hard to feel insulted by obvious idiots, you know.
This is what I mean. All you're doing is hurling insults. Maybe it is you who should return to Reddit.
No, I explained to you why people actually like Lemmy and pointed out why claiming "everyone thinks Lemmy is so cool" is literally a thoughtless statement.
I insulted you after because instead of reading that, understanding it, and digesting it, you were like "yup. just like reddit."
But I mean, that's literally what I expect from someone who can only shit out short simple statements. You can't be fucked to actually think about anything and instead are just "Nah everyone sucks because they think it's cool when it's not." which isn't even close to a thoughtfully considered statement.
Sorry, not sorry. I don't feel bad insulting people who deserve to be insulted for their abject fucking stupidity. Especially when they continue to choose to ignore the stupid shit they said, the fact that they've been corrected, and continue to double down like the dumb motherfucker they are.
First off, I have not hurled any insults towards you. But let me explain what I mean when I said, "Just like Reddit." You pretty much are the example of Reddit's toxicity and social media's toxicity in general. Instead of just ignoring my original post or down-voting like a few have already you respond with straight negativity. "Stop bitching and go back to fucking reddit." (emphasis mine) Blah blah blah. Rage rage rage. That response is what I think of when Reddit comes to mind.
Why are you so angry over a comment some random guy made over the internet? Actually I honestly don't care, whether you're having a bad day or have anger issues doesn't matter to me.
Finally, you said that you explained why people like Lemmy I agree with the reason you stated, but you started with insults so fuck off.
So you're insulted by being suggested you should go back to reddit, and it's clear you have opinions on why reddit is bad?
But when you turn the same insult around on someone else (which failed miserably lol) you haven't hurled insults at me?
If being told to go back to reddit is so insulting, it speaks to why Lemmy is better than reddit and why you're fucking here.
But sure, you weren't insulting anybody with your original statement except to literally everybody on Lemmy. You yourself are insulted by association with reddit, but it's fine to make the same hay of everyone else?
If telling people to go to reddit or comparing their behavior to reddit is insulting (based on your personal interpretation, since you consider yourself insulted by it), then you started off by insulting the entire user base by saying they were more worried about "thinking it was cool."
Get your fucking head checked.
