Posts something about my past - Rudeness occurs
Would this also be called "Reply guys"? Very rude, worst part, i already know reporting & blocking does nothing as another one can and will eventually pop up.
Anyoneone else feel frusterated with not being able to vent without rude people posting?
Another thing i noticed, alot of rude people come from lemmy dot world.
A big part of what made reddit terrible was redditors. Now redditors are using lemmy.
Blocking is the one thing that makes social media usable if you are a normal people and not some asshole with a pathological need to piss people off.
Right now lemmy is not mature in letting you have fine grained control of what you see and who sees you. Mastodon has stuff like instance blocking, privacy settings to control who sees your posts, etc. Maybe in the future when lemmy has more users there will be a demand of stuff like this. Mastodon is narrower in scope than lemmy so it is easier to design features like these. But hopefully we see options like this in lemmy as well because they make the software more human friendly.
Yeah, reddit and youtube comments. :( shame we allow this awful stuff as a society.

That's because lemmy.world is where a lot of redditors have migrated to following the Reddit Exodus to Lemmy. Redditors often tend to be rude.
I'm sorry that you had to encounter them. 🫂
Yeah, dotworld has attracted a lot of those "witty" single-sentence reply guys from Reddit. They're indiscernible from bots sometimes, just sort any reddit thread on r/all by new.
Oh yeah, I've seen some pretty tude & messed up replies. Culture of abuse caused by tolerance of rudeness.
Starts with rude replies, than they think "well nobody has banned or warned me, imma say nastier stuff".
Yeah, some forums used to have a "on probation" tag for people that were causing trouble but hadn't been permabanned yet that used to help a bit by hurting their reputation. I wonder if some functionality like that could be implemented as an add-on to Lemmy like that using functionality like the reddit masstagger but crowdsourced. For now I'm always assuming bad faith or reddit behaviour from dotworld accounts by default. Blocking them as an individual doesn't work because them they just get to harass the people who didn't block them yet without being noticed.
