(A funny meme for you, if you’re wondering about the picture)
So to preface, like everyone else, I came from reddit, a website that I left due to some subs that I don’t want to name as they are personal to me.
The reason I left is because it got flooded with stupid people, and I realised that the only reason I kept using Reddit was to argue with those fools.
But the thing is, that simply cutting out reddit didn’t solve my problem, which is that I really hate a lot of people and I’m not even going to deny it.
A lot of them deserve it tho, I’m mostly talking about those jerks who try to stample on others to feel better about themselves. I hate how this word got “ruined” but to be precise I’m talking about “bigoted” people.
Anyways l just because they “deserve” the hate (or don’t) I still feel angry after meeting people like this and I honestly don’t know what to do now.

I read your comment and I feel you. I have a little advice.
First a but about memI "left" reddit for the same reasons. Left is in quotes because I was permanently banned because I argued with a major mod. Specifically I said after they banned me from a sub "ouch ouch ouch, sorry sprained my ankle tripping over 3 identical communities" to which they replied "don't message me again" and I of course did with a "or what? You'll silence me? That's not very intimidating"
Anyway my point is this:
There's no point in arguing with stupid people.... But if you are going to I recommend being dismissive or different. They are prepared for aggression they can't handle being dismissed. It really messes with bigoted people especially.
An example from my life
Guy at the gas station to me: can you believe the cashier is speaking Spanish? This is America lol
Me: it's 7 o'clock in the morning. Can you save the racism until after breakfast please.
An example of "different " would be this
I live in Orlando, we have Nazis who protest. I LOVE to walk by and say to a random one "you don't look good bald. You're heads too boxy to pull it off"
It fucks with them more than yelling I promise you lol. They aren't expecting that kind of thing.
