I swear on Reddit you couldn't post anything without having to spend 5 minutes proof-reading it to make sure there wasn't a way to misinterpret anything intentionally or unintentionally and that you haven't left any gaps in your explanation that someone could fill for you. If you missed anything some parasite would downvote you, twist what you said against you to make you look like something worse than Hitler and rally up everyone against you.

Fuck that place.

you...like...Hitler

So you're saying that you like Hitler? Holy cow, get a load of this guy!

Everyone, get in here and rally against this person!

People still do the same here, sadly :/

Yup, it’s really sad because very few speak out in defense of anyone but themselves. Hell, I saw a user bully another user here and heavily imply they were mentally disabled. A few users defended the bullied user, the bully doubled down. Hours later the bullied user returned to mention they had COVID… so you might imagine the bullying let up, but the bully doubled down, yet again. Followed by more mentally disabled remarks. Looking back, appears the bully stopped using said account entirely and is likely under a new username. But it’s disappointing how few users actually said something. We have to keep this place clean from the shitty old Reddit behaviors.

Heh. If you're so smart, why did you make a typo? I'm not going to listen to an idiot who doesn't know the difference between and .

You've got to be on constant alert or your phone's autocorrect changing lets to let's at the wrong time will derail the entire conversation.

In all fairness, commenting here is like reciting the specific summons to raise Contrary Mary.
