    What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

    From the POV of a Reddit veteran who had migrated from Digg prior to the v4 update that killed the site, it’s absolutely shocking how much better the Lemmy (or at least Lemmy World) community is.

    I also feel like I have a lot more freedom to speak my mind on Lemmy.

    My problem with Reddit is that I have had to self-censor my comments to avoid getting them automatically purged by bots. It’s like I cannot even use words/phrases like ‘snowflake’, ‘cuck’, ‘incel’, ‘Trump’, ‘soy’, and many others in a comment, because some fragile power mod decided to effectively shadowban those words. Context doesn’t even matter.

    Reddit mods are the kind of people who look up to the dystopian ideals George Orwell presented in 1984 and think that banning an entire lexicon of words is a great idea to control people.

    As for why I think Lemmy is better, my hypothesis is that everyone with a moral compass left Reddit out of disgust, and what remains is a sea of toxic assholes.

      They just censor your comments straight up around here, like removed being unutterable on lemmy.world

      That’s a mindset, so it could easily migrate. The fact that Lemmy is decentralized means that instance admins can start flushing mods who decide that they’re going to be dictators because their lives suck. Admins who allow toxic mods will find that users migrate to other instances.

        Your average Redditor is a toxic dick though who will dig up past comments and dox you just because they don’t like your opinion.

    Yeah, no. Not true. I just dared to say that I despise a certain Tech Corp and people reacted “funnily”.

    Which communities did you subscribe?

    Because my experience is a bit different, people here seem way more polarized with their opinion (which is always right) and angry at random stuff.

    I think I never saw so many “landlords haters” in social media like in Lemmy…
