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.

      it’s like when you cut a tub of ice cream to see the distribution

      you can tell a platform hasn’t got a good mix of people if there aren’t any freaks or difficult bastards

        It’s ok to be a freak. It’s not ok to be an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. We like the weirdos for the colourfulness they bring to our lives. No one likes an asshole.

        Keep Lemmy weird. Don’t be an asshole. Live by these rules and this place will always be great.

          We all have our moments (or so he tells himself). I’m not advocating being an asshole, but they do make things seem more real. I’ve been in online groups where everyone’s blandly cordial and it all feels lifeless.

          You can be a difficult bastard without being mean though, it’s practically my whole job these days.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    I got into a minor disagreement with someone on there, turned out he had a second account as a mod and followed me about with that account to give me abuse and message mods on those other subs that I was a trouble maker. It meant I got kicked out of some subs I actually really liked and with people I got on with.

    I closed that account after filing a couple of reports against said mod, filled out the box when deactivating with said description of events (though doubt admin bother to read it). I’ve since signed up again on a couple of burner accounts - I use temporary/disposable emails for this. Fcuk that website -they dont deserve my actual email, and I use other measures like blockers on that site.

    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.

        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?

            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

        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…

    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.

      Google it, might be on youtube, but about 10 years back there were a couple on This Morning here in the UK that claimed it had “health benefits”. TV show brought out a doctor to tell them off, LOL!

    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. .

    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.

    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.

    I think my favorite example of this was when you’d go to type up a big-ass, well-thought-out reply, but before hitting submit you check their history. Lo and behold, a non-insignificant amount of it is full of comments on loli porn and the darker NSFW subs. And here they are trying to claim the high ground.

    Block and move on.
