I have this unhealthy thing where if someone is angry at me online I actually feel bad and spend time introspecting.

Same tbh.

Your post actually makes me feel less alone

I only remember his handle because no one else has given me an angry reply. People here have generally been polite in correcting my idiot opinions.

dude would come out swinging if you disagreed with him in any way. The general vibe has gotten much better after he left.

For some reason I could never take it seriously when he got mad, but I can understand if it was unpleasant for most people.

It wasn't really the "getting mad" but more so the instant hostility and grudgekeeping that got to me. It was kinda fun seeing his deranged posts about mundane things, it just wasn't so fun to see how he would have very obvious negative impact on people he interacted with. Especially because he was a power user, so he would often get a lot of support, while the person he was accusing of doing something would be alone. It took me a while to block him because it was nice to see him go off on chuds. He just went off on everyone, which sucked.

the instant hostility and grudgekeeping

The thing that got me was that he absolutely kept grudges, but because he was such a prolific powerposter there was no way he could actually keep track of everyone he'd argued with, so sometimes he would haphazardly lump people into grudge groups, and act like they were all the same person. Especially right after federation, it was funny to see some lemmy person wander in and voice an opinion about a tv show or video game and have him go off on them, but it was pretty offputting when he would start referencing the whole history of beef that they supposedly had together, and the other person would be completely baffled.
