Honestly, I've found this place to be a lot more toxic than Reddit, especially when it comes to tech.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Absolutely. I just recently got roasted for posting a guide to updating the BIOS on certain laptops in the Linux forums.

Was expecting a small number of comments, maybe a couple of questions or "thanks"; nope.

"OP IS RETARDED THATS NOT HOW YOU DO IT!!!!!" Neckbeards gonna neck.

Some posts have been removed but also you realise that not everything is literal, right?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh, I see. So your claims of toxicity were not to be taken literally?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Turns out they were the toxic one the whole time

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nobody was toxic against you in all 3 posts you crossposted. Some were saying that it is confusing, a harder way to do it or that it didn't work.

Really?

The more important question is why were you trying to gaslight me? Does it help with your own insecurities?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I don't really see any toxicity here.

Take the last link for example, where exactly is the toxicity?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Ok. I don't see any toxicity here.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Ahh I see you're a mod. Of multiple communities. It takes a "special" kind of person to want to be an internet hall monitor, let alone try and collect as many sub's as they can.

Most people understand tone in writing.

You don't.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Nope, it's called growing a thicker skin. If you get offended and classify every criticism or every person denying your opinion as toxic, you're not ready for the internet yet. It is the exact same reason why you are being downvoted from a few others.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Interesting, still working on that gas lighting, I see.

Seems like you're the one who needs a thicker skin. Seems like its a prerequisite for being a mod.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ok. Say that to the other 3 people. I'm done here.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

No actual response? I gueas you got called out. Lol try harder
