Used a script to overwrite old comments to finalize my switch to Lemmy, and got this message from one of the subreddit that i commented.

Yes my intention is to annoy and create awareness. After i delete my account, Reddit is not going to get to keep my pearls of wisdom, or shenanigans. I hope more people edit their old comments to something like [moved to Lemmy].

      Trolling was pathetic then and it’s pathetic now. Most of us grew out of that phase we had ten years ago.

          It’s this right here:

          Everything is acceptable on the internet because there is nothing that can stop people like me. There is no moral and no justice

          That sounds like someone who has experienced powerlessness and reacts to cruelty visited upon them by becoming cruelty.
          Someone who responds to the injustice and no doubt indignation they feel when aggrieved by things and people more powerful than they while people and procedures who’re supposed prevent that sort of thing say nothing.

          Maybe your father hits you. Maybe you have gender issues. Maybe you are just an asshole.

          Maybe there is something about yourself you hate and so you lash out inappropriately in the hope some dope will punch you in the face. How very Tyler Durden. Perhaps you want to feel pain. Perhaps you can’t stand standing on the outside while seemingly the whole world pummels down on you so you decide to fuck yourself up to at least join in on the fun.

          I mean, for all you brag of your detached stature, your blasé laissez-fuck-shit-attitude, your own

          im just having a good time by disturbing your

          indicates you’re reaching out for connection.

          You’re dismissive and didactic to we plebes who act distracted by your stroking abstract structures of oppression
          but the lesson here (if less than clear) is you say things in the want we hear.
          You want us to acknowledge you, to see you, to react.

          You come off as real lonely.

          There is no logical reasoning why i shouldn’t

          First of all, “logical reasoning”. Trying to PA=¬O¬A your way to justifying being an asshole. Shut up, nerd.

          Second you’re begging the question that you should.
          Even presuming your position supposes you get a gain from your shitty behavior.
          What is that gain? Is giggles all you get from this?

          You don’t think the negative cost of people not taking kindly to you is worth missing on whatever you get from these tantrums, so you either don’t care what people think, or you think you’ve already lost whatever chance you had at a positive connection already.

          Since “trying to get a rise” is caring what someone thinks (and wanting it to be “…asshole.”) it isn’t the first one.
          Would you like to tell me why you think people wouldn’t like you even if you weren’t a shit?

          If you felt comfortable with the centre you wouldn’t be so edgy, so why don’t you tell me what it is about people that makes you want to engineer rejection and reaction from them?
