I’m actually saying there’s mentally ill people on lemmy to push them to get help from the rest of the lemmy community. Shaming people in hopes of improving them doesn’t work in my opinion.
I’m mostly making this in response of other users expressing their fantasies of me receiving violence and death just because I considered borrowing a bike that I did intend to return without asking permission. Yes wishing death and violence on other people is a mentally ill thing to do. The users reactionary to any context I gave even when they asked for the context. fun part is they refused to explain any details I asked for.
The mentally healthy thing is to try your best to act in good faith, and just stop talking to a person that’s acting in bad faith. I legitimately don’t care about bad faith actors because I’ll assert my opinions about what I believe and how they’re acting.
well the entire thing were someone had their bike stolen, took their car instead, and got in a traffic accident for starters. that wasn’t even about you but you reacted as if it was.
if you feel you were threatened, what was it specifically that did it?
i’m still asking if you considered the possibility before jumping to the conclusion “everyone here is mentally ill”.
That one was actually delusional. I legit looked Them like someone actually died because I borrowed a bike. They were dead set on me being a murderer too.
Also I didn’t say everyone here is mentally ill. I said there are mentally ill people on lemmy and you could work on yourself a little
no, it was a hypothetical scenario. you reacted as if they thought you’d already done it, but that wasn’t what they said at all.
Cool they didn’t say how I act. So is there an actual point?
yeah, you need to do the thing you want others to do: use the most charitable interpretation of what people say.
What does charitable mean in this context and why can’t I simply ask what they meant if I’m not sure.
Sometimes people just say things that don’t make sense. Example If it wasn’t for my horses I wouldn’t have gotten through college. Idk of the charitable interpretation is that they rode a horse through college campus or if horse motivated them to attend all their classes and get a degree
i don’t know, why didn’t you?
Lol dodged my question.
I’m pelting swine with pearls
i answered your question before you even asked it. the charitable read would be to not assume people want you dead because of a hypothetical scenario. you could absolutely have asked for clarification if you felt unsafe but you didn’t. why?
and by the way, the opposite was also true: someone asked you what one of your posts meant because you used a nonexistent word, and you dismissed them.
