I could not imagine what it would be like to feel so threatened as to be filled with such a hateful sentiment. I should really say it sucks to be whoever that kind of person is.

I have to ask, did your friend get told to kill themselves because of being a gay autistic furry or was it for something else?

I think you’re probably implying that is it, but I’ve been told on reddit to kill myself for all kinds of things that are less interesting than that.

I just needed to be allowed to buy cheap meds that aren’t even narcotic, stimulant, or hallucinogenic, just something to reabsorb Dopamine and Noradrenaline.

When communities become too big, thy just become voids to scream into, because no one is reading the comments. They’re just trying to get noticed. That turns them into deeply toxiv plates that turn on anyone trying to have an actual discussion about things.

We have a lot of people, but most of us only showed up a couple times and just haven’t shown up again much since (they’re all still there though). We’ve got a group of like five or six people who front regularly.

Reddit should get struck by Iran next.

Reddit is just chock full of random harassment.

We’ve gotten some here too but it’s not anywhere NEAR as bad. Here we feel relatively safe using ‘we’ and signing our messages. We’ve mostly stopped using ‘we’ on reddit and I get the occasional mocking comments about signing my name.

I don’t know LesbianActually because I don’t hang out there for obvious reasons. AITAH doesn’t completely surprise me, it’s a mainstream sub. Lesbians are probably only marginally shunned, but poly? Shunned, I’m sure.

So basically, while I’m not blaming you… you didn’t know your audience was all. Probably better to seek advise in lesbian/poly friendly spaces. Again, don’t know lesbianactually, but I would expect r/lgbt to be a little more accepting, and perhaps /r/polyamory - I think that’s the subreddit, I don’t hang out there. (In part because while I am poly, I don’t practice currently and only ever did for a short period of time, so I hate reading about others’ happiness lol)

I’ve no clue what your submission was about, but I see enough pieces here to not be surprised it didn’t go well. I again don’t blame you. I think there’s spaces on lemmy where it also wouldn’t go well. Poly is a fringe thing to be and acceptance is somewhat low, which I think is a shame because I think if more people realized they were poly, the world would be a happier place as there’d be rather less cheating.

I’m sorry you got banged up over there.
