                Given they came into an ADHD sub and started berating people I would guess personality, possibly borderline. I’m here after checking their profile after they flipped out at someone for simply asking what Lemmy client they used lmao.

                  I don’t do diagnosing people with personality disorders based on their online behaviour

                  But I do recognise the patterns of a 4chan-using teenager, seeing as I used to be one.

                  They think they’re the coolest shit ever because they send people verbal abuse and can at least superficially get away with it because on the internet no one will give them a black eye for it.

                  They’ll grow up, eventually. Or they won’t and will become a fascist. Either way, they’re the one most deeply fucked over by their shit attitude.

                    Neither do I. I do like guessing them though, especially users whose participation online is largely toxic and quickly hostile.

                    There was also that study I saw posted to lemmy asserting “trolls” and cyber bullying positively correlated with negative personality traits like sadism and narcissism. So I get what you’re saying, some of them are just younger people who’ve lost their way online. Or perhaps they’ve experienced similar behaviour online so now they’re copying it (another article I read said this is a possibility). For this user, based on their post history, I don’t really see that.

                    Some people just enjoy engaging in that sort of behaviour or can’t help it due to their upbringing.

            You’ve picked a pretty dumb hill to die on mate.

            The estimated population of natives in the 1500s when the portuguese arrived was 2 million (according to IBGE), it was 302k by 1998 (also according to IBGE), and that’s AFTER decades of recovery efforts.
