  • Are you me? I felt the exact same way. Then if it hurts, you have to hide those feelings too because people will make fun of you for being “too sensitive.” “It’s just the internet, get over it.” Rejection sensitivity is real and it sucks. I quit commenting on Reddit because of that. I never understood why people think the internet isn’t a real place, so it’s okay to be cruel. We may be somewhat anonymous here, but we’re still people with feelings. If you’re mentally in a bad place, little things can really feel big. They add up.

    I recently got on meds for my ADHD, too. It’s helping me a lot, I hope you’re having good luck with yours too. :)


  • The bootlicking on that post (in a PIRACY sub nonetheless) is wild. Lots of “you don’t understand, Reddit is a COMPANY! 😭” I’ve peeked in on Reddit a bit and I’ve been seeing those kinds of “won’t somebody think of the shaaaareholdersss and adminss” comments on a few posts related to the protest. Things like this insightful little nugget:

    “Seems all the reddit hate is based solely on reddit doing something similar to twitter, and I’m supposed to be upset cause “Elon man bad”? Tons of APIs cost money to use… build your own platform that freely allows everyone to scrape all “your” content, lead by example please…”

    I wonder how many of those are Reddit employees and bots? They can’t all be u/spez alts, can they?

    Oh and this is fun too, did you know that we’re all LiTeRaLlY extremists over here?

    " Lemmy is very far-left. They are literally extremists, I’ll not be part of that shit."

    Guess Reddit is going to be taken over by alt-right trolls too.

    Edit: Still figuring out how the formatting works over here.

    Oof, I can see why some of those instances are blocked, though. Since I’m on Beehaw, I checked their block list and…wow. Scrolled through each one for a few minutes and now I’m hoping I’m not on some kind FBI list for it. A few highlights from my research expedition:

    • A meme featuring various characters (MLP, Vaporeon, Peter Griffin, etc) unironically mourning Ted Kaczynski
    • NSFL gore
    • People calling for the execution of cops who stopped rioters on Jan 6
    • SO. MUCH. LOLICON.
    • “Hahaha look at this WOKE LIB 🤣🤣🤣”
    • QANON. QANON EVERYWHERE.

    I was only on each one for a minute or so. I don’t think I’m missing out on anything except maybe being put on some kind of list.
