The image is a reddit post with the following text (automatically transcribed):
I remember I got into an argument on reddit awhile ago with a person over Italian food. It got to the point they were following me into other subs to harass me. I clicked on their profile to block them and their most recent post was them drinking their own piss on r/piss. At that moment I realized I had spent so much pointless time arguing about the taste of food with someone who drinks their own piss as a hobby. This site is a shit hole.

On lemmy you’re just arguing with the same piss enjoyers without a piss home due to lack of active communities. Lemmy is just ex Redditors acting like they are better than Redditors.
Redditors are cool. It’s the admin that can eat shit. I’d still be on that site if they weren’t greedy fucks.
It’s a bit of a stretch to say they’re cool. For the most part they’re tolerable.
lmao
hell i’m here specifically because i liked reddit but, y’know, didn’t like the actual reddit platform itself because it’s run by absolute wankers.
On lemmy search for a board and the same community is on every instance. A little bit of r/piss for everyone.
less cookers as a proportion, but far more tankies
I reported an account that was posting CP and they banned ME for report abuse and let them continue posting but removed one of their CP posts. Reddit is a cesspool.
Probably one of the admins alts.
Crazy to think about but maybe.
I wonder if Reddit could be held legally liable for trafficking in CP in that case. They were explicitly told “this is CP and should be deleted” and they didn’t act.
No idea, it’s weird they reacted that way because I reported all three of the CP posts on that account instead of just the one though. Evidently they have some questionable staff.
So that is ok but if you post to an “unapproved” subreddit (even if you are leaving a criticism of them) you get banned from subreddits by bots. Then you accidently post to one of them from a 2nd account and your account gets perma banned. Yay! “Reddit, a place for open discussion for only people we approve of subject to arbitrary rules.”
banned ME for report abuse
Wouldn’t be surprised if the poster was a mod.

Edit: also, I use Arch.
I commented that I had switched to Firefox browser from a chromium browser and that I was still using it but really didn’t like it and listed a few reasons why and got more down votes on that single comment than I’d ever gotten total on reddit. The condescending responses were something else. I almost deleted my account, like sorry, I clearly don’t subscribe to the lemmy hive mind, so I don’t belong here. I also don’t have strong feelings about Linux, guess I should get fucked.
Well, the good thing about Lemmy is your downvotes don’t add up to some Karma like it did on Reddit. You’re free to state your opinion in one post without having to carry it around everywhere.
Reminds me of the time I got downvoted for saying that I’m not going to pre-emptively leave Chrome due to their plans to make adblock stop working until my adblock actually stops working.
What? Off with your head!
I posted a link in [email protected] about how mozilla had ruined firefox, damm got a hell lot of downvotes and a bunch of comments who hadn’t even watched the video going ‘hurr durr google baddd’
Firefox not having tab grouping native on mobile is the sole reason I won’t switch from chrome, i run adGuard as a vpn anyway so nothing google is doing will affect me.
But also - 20 is rookie numbers, i think i broke -400 on one of my reddit comments years ago, I don’t even remember what I said, I don’t think it was even political as I lean pretty left.

I use Arch btw
go sudo pkill yourself
I use Arch too btw
Or a windows user…
I will say my next PC I may try to go with a nix distro after being exposed to so many of the latest features, in no small party due to the sentiment on Lemmy.
Mind you, that doesn’t mean I won’t use windows but I am curious to try. The constant bashing though has gone from slightly unexpected to annoying to now just cute.
True I have yet to see Lemmy being any better. Although it’s good to see that even libtards are fleeing from Reddit.
You look lost try /c/politics
Reddit was great for things like “Can you recommend some Italian restaurants in the area?” Then you’d get downvoted for recommending some Italian restaurants in the area.
You needed to read between the lines. People were clearly looking for piss drinking tips…not actual Italian restaurants.

The site seems more like a piss hole.
I got into a reddit fight with someone claiming they never once tried to plug a USB in incorrectly. Another time I got down voted to hell because I asked someone why they go through so many pizza cutters. They claimed they went through like 7 in 3 years. Reddit was bad, but I miss the nostalgia of it. Too bad it only got worse and kicked off third party apps. .
They were cutting pizza on a concrete block?
To be fair it happens here. Made a comment about far left & right being manipulated by Russian BS about Ukraine and some very tedious people started at me about how Ukraine are Nazis etc. I suppose it demonstrated my point in a roundabout way.
People here love to act like this stuff is exclusive to reddit when it is in fact a thing called “human nature” and can be observed anywhere there are people.
Yeah, it’s pretty much everywhere on the internet. It’s not unique to reddit or any other site.
“human nature” TIl being an asshole is human nature.

There are many valid problems with the Ukraine and it’s history. There are many conversations one could have about it and what the world should be doing in response to their situation.
The whole “They are Nazis!” argument doesn’t hold water the moment you carry their view point onto something like the US and ask the exact same questions.
Bro imagine having the balls to give someone shit about taste while drinking your own piss
Like Patches O Houlahan from Dodgeball once said:
“I drink my own piss because its sterile and I like the taste!”
Not sure where that thing about urine being sterile came from, but no, it most certainly isn’t!
I assume the thinking is because it’s toxic, nothing lives in it. It’s an incorrect assumption, there are bacteria in it, but that’s probably where the misconception comes from.
I looked it up and found this:
For years, even doctors believed urine was sterile. The myth goes back 50 years, Hilt said, when a screening method for kidney infections was developed. It was a simple and easy test that was soon applied to bladder infections, too.
But the test involved culturing only a small amount of urine in open air, at a temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) for 24 hours. Not all bacteria grow in those conditions.
Stop trying to explain jokes Gary, just enjoy the fucking things and smile. If someone is done enough to believe anything from a random comment fuckem lettem nature themselves away.
It’s a common misconception. I say let them spread the facts, Joel

If someone is a jerk. I block them. Life is to short for trivial people.
I’m here for discussions and not name calling or bad behavior.
More than once I had someone being an arse to me on reddit, I took a gander at their profile to see what kind of fucko I was dealing with… and it was full of their nudes.
One time it was someone who lived in the same town as me.
Yeah… your insults and comebacks don’t hit quite as hard now that I know you’re desperate for people to see your vagina.
Wait, you think someone getting naked invalidates their argument?
Slight hints of misogyny? What’s wrong with people showing off their bodies if they feel like it?
Siiiigh, would it help if I said penis? The last time this happened, it happened to be a woman.
And it’s pretty obvious when someone starts shit with people on the Internet for no reason, then posts their uglies all over the net, that they’ve got a pretty juvenile issue with attention-seeking behaviour in general.
Quite a stretch, my guy.
And no, it would not have helped in the slightest. What people do on the internet is their business - if they feel like posting nudes, so be it. But that does not magically invalidate their opinion(s) in an argument, “juvenile” as they be.
This more so proves your “juveniless” (I hate even using this word) that you try to dig up non-existent dirt on people to crap on their opinions and statements.
Speaking of people who start shit for no reason, invent grievances, etc…
Scroll up, the last guy tried your latest tactic already. Insults and comebacks =/= arguments.
I responded. Feel free to disprove my thesis that you’re a fucking moron.
Does anyone hear remember r/sinkpissers?
Sadly, yes. Also r/sounding…
Man we got some seriously screwed up people in this world.
One of those is just weird unsanitary behavior and the other is a kink to some.
Are you really going to conflate kink shaming and misbehavior shaming?
Pissing into the sink is hot… that was the kink, right?
I mean really, they’re both strong candidates for misbehavior depending on context. I couldn’t care less if someone peed in their own sink (and hopefully rinsed at least after).
Once you’re peeing in a public restroom’s sink… You’re almost certainly risking indecent exposure, which is misconduct.
Sounding, it’s mostly about consent. It’s weird enough that I’d argue it definitely requires consent to even see it in an adult context. lol
I’ll upvote you for the point you’re going for. I didn’t wanna dig this one up, but if the community still exists, go get some eye bleach…
r/makemesuffermore
F Reddit and F Spez
Sounding is just a kink. A really weird one, but a kink nonetheless. Think it’s really just an alternative way to pleasure the prostate or something?
If yah want the actually fizzityucked urethral insertion subreddit you had to go to r/peehole. Which is the second subreddit to permanently traumatize me enough to stop using r/randnsfw.
Oh sweetheart, if you think sounding is a “really weird” kink, you need to get off the internet yesterday to preserve your innocence. Putting things in your (or any) dick for pleasure is nothing compared to, say, hard vore, gore / mutilation, or edge play.
I have some weird kinks, but sounding is about as vanilla as they come. As long as you aren’t using a rose stem or something…
I find it weird, but it’s not like it really bothers me at all. Same with guro, it’s weird, but just makes me go “whatever”.
Seeing a woman shove both a buttplug and a penis up her urethra however? That does make me question things…
I guess the first time wasn’t enough hahaha
What… went on in that sub?
People pissing in sinks believe it or not.
Which is pretty bitchin’ really, it’s like a poor man’s urinal.
Haha hey I’ve had to piss in a sink once or twice
Lololol imagine thinking lemmy is better than reddit for those reasons 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have yet to have someone stalk me on Lemmy. Happened on Reddit all the time.
Yet. Reddit has been around for over a decade and has millions of users and lemmy has like a half million users. Lemmy isn’t better, there’s just a lot less of it. Duh.
Smaller is often better. See Usenet and the Eternal September.
For a site like reddit/lemmy, more is better. You need enough users that you can find any niche community u want.
I guess I would rather have less bots, trolls and angry assholes than have more niche communities.
I respect that, but I personally do value the goldmine of pragmatic advice and answers that virtually only reddit provided so quickly
Like with most things, more is better until it isn’t. Non-niche subreddits are night impossible to have any meaningful discussion on because there’s too much damn noise.
You can absolutely have the opposite example. I’m subbed to a bunch of niche Lemmy instances, and no one has posted anything in there for literally months.
Yup, that’s the trade-off. A reasonable solution is to use Reddit (with adblocking on) for niche discussion only and Lemmy for anything else.
yes, but it’s easier to create a smaller subreddit and get a sustainable subscriber base, than to create a niche community on lemmy and hope that people eventually stumble onto it.

What’s your opinion on* Italian sausage and parm?
The people with the presence of mind, principles, and ability to leave reddit so seem to be better. I tend to like posts here better. That’ll change as better clients, more users and better stability come online though.
There was someone who used to DM me on Reddit to remind me that I was a c**t.
I think this went on for several years until I just got tired ,reported him to the admins, and had his account banned within the hour.
Other good one was having death threats sent to me by a burner account.

Wow, glad I left. I got annoyed because they essentially shadow ban any account on r/news without an email… never knew it was a site requirement lol.
Were you by any chance the mod of r/sciencediscussion?
Nah, largest sub I ever modded was r/boybands.
