  • The hostility has been here for quite a while, though. When the migrating happened from Reddit to Lemmy it was all nice and cozy but after a year or so the hostility was already there. Very often people did not want to acknowledge this (and started to heavily downvote the particular comment stating this). Plus with what is happening* in the world, the negativity from reality seeps into the digital world.

    But anyway, the best thing to do is just block anyone who is hostile towards you for no actual reason. Has no point to put energy and/ or time in it.




  • Bit busy so can’t make a long comment. Just wanted to say, welcome to the ‘dark’ side. I highly recommend to check the instance in on for everything you need (Megathread). It tells you where to look, which safety measures to take etc.

    I wanted to purchase Metaphor Refantzio because the game seems good and then figured out they blatantly said “you don’t own Metaphor even if you purchase it”. Thus decided to pirate it (it isn’t cracked but it is playable).





  • Hope you’re doing better now.

    Yeah, definitely. Got my bachelor degree in Finance and currently having a immensely relaxing but boring job (which is alright, bit of a relax after years of studying). Just having this as my first Finance job while searching for another better one.

    Honestly though, I know it sounds really mean and rude but: I’m truly satisfied seeing them having less good than me.

    • One works at McDonalds and served my order 6 years ago and complained how he got ‘‘fucked over’’ by the teachers which he blames for not being able to continue studies.
    • One went to jail for a 6-12 months.
    • Another guy always acted smart and tried to put me down when we were 13-15. He did not entirely finished his studies, works retail and ended up jobless because the company went bankrupt (probably now having another retail job with a meh-salary).

    From what I have heard here and there many of them never got their Bachelor degree. We all come from a ‘‘practical’’ school (teenagers who could not or did not want to actually study). I worked my ass off to actually climb the ‘‘study-stairs’’ and got the Bachelor degree and might go for Masters (Chartered Controller, Public Chartered Controller or Accountancy).

    • Important note 1: I’m not saying that working in retail is bad. However, it does feel satisfying seen bullies serving my orders.
    • Important note 2: English is not my native language, so some sentences or words might be worded a bit odd.

    Growing up for me, the popular kids were actually also usually intelligent and got into good universities. So the stereotype of popular kids being dumb really doesn’t ring true everywhere.

    Unfortunately to hear, I at least hope you are also doing better now. Honestly, fuck them. They might be ‘‘smart’’ or having a ‘good job’ but believe me, some parts of their live are quite shit. People always try to show-off their ‘‘good side’’ and hide their bad sides.


  • No, I was not and unfortunately was often picked to be bullied until I raged and went to his throat to close it (English isn’t my native language so don’t know to explain it otherwise).

    After that no bullying but wasn’t popular either. However, fun fact; no one who was popular at that time succeeded it life. They didn’t really went far either education and some even went to jail.

    And myself? I got myself from a practical school to now having bachelor degree. So, fuck them.
