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.
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.
Reddit teaches you to not argue with people more than absolutely necessary. It's a waste of time. Just stop responding to them if you don't want to talk.
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.
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.

To be fair it happens here. Made a comment about far left & right being manipulated by Russian BS about Ukraine and some very tedious people started at me about how Ukraine are Nazis etc. I suppose it demonstrated my point in a roundabout way.
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.
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.
This is the issue that's so hard to see until it is explicit like your example. The time wasted, not spent on things of value is where this type of trolling costs us the most.
In world news there were well thought out answers to some asshole who was just giving low quality taunts
Maybe it was just an AI bot trying ti see if it could waste your time. I have noticed this on a few occasions where a “person” was being rude and trying to get a reaction, but when you look at their history you see hints of AI chat bot. Why anyone would do this is beyond me…maybe research or just a way to mess with people. Something to think about the next time you get into it with someone or something on the Internet.
I called my car (MG) a product of our friends with almond-shaped eyes. Got my account suspended indefinitely. Why???? I avoided "Schlitzaugengezücht" as a description for my car and still...
In an art appreciation sub (I think it was r/museum) some jackhole said they liked a Van Gogh painting because "it had colors resembling the Ukrainian flag". I caught a third strike for saying "Fuck Ukraine". When I explained to the mod that it was because i was sick of political bullshit creeping into everything, and the painting in question was painted 100 years before Ukraine was even a country, he rescinded the ban, but it didn't matter, it was my third strike on Reddit. I even got a cute little hammer emoji. Yeah, fuck Reddit.
