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.

      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.
