Holy shit, thats something you would see on 4chan not lemmy. Telling someone to kill themselves in such a manner is genuinely concerning. It takes a sick person to type something like that.
Yeah if you keep countering their arguments for a long enough time, they usually degrade to automatically calling whatever you say fascist/nazi, you a genocide supporter (even when you also call it a genocide) and then finally start actually involving your family members in their fantasies. Quite reflective of the ideology they are defending.
It’s the best losers can do when they’ve got nothing. Is a really really old soc.men style response and though we’re decades removed from usenet, the desperation of adherents to the ideology of impotent rage is the same.
Maybe that encounter was one step on his path to figuring out that he’s an asshole and your interaction with him made a positive difference. That would be nice.
I know that guy.
This is a DM from them seemingly in response to a thread about harassment on lemmy.

Honestly, you could send this directly to lemmy.today admins. It is unacceptable.
I hadn’t even considered the admins, but especially since this is apparently a pattern of behavior, I reported it to mrmanager.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I’ve caught temp bans for way less…
Imagine typing that shit out and thinking “this is the correct course of action” before hitting send. Fuckin’ mental shit.
Lashing out could be the way they learned to deal with their problems. Seems like they aren’t thinking at all.

Very Sith-like for them to be speaking so absolutely
Absolutely, part of the I’m-consumed-by-despair, you-should-be-too category.
That’s a completely hinged and level headed message to send someone 🤨 /s
Thankfully the block button is a freely pressable one, hopefully you don’t have to deal with them anymore lmao
Also thankfully my life rocks and that wacko is way off base, but it is concerning to find out they tell a lot of lemmy users to kill themselves.

Projection.
That’s what I thought too.
Yeah I was arguing with him a few days ago. Huge asshole, and completely disingenuous and unnecessarily combative.
Maybe that encounter was one step on his path to figuring out that he’s an asshole and your interaction with him made a positive difference. That would be nice.
Wait are you saying I turned him into an asshole?
No, he was an asshole before my first interaction with him and he’ll be an asshole long after my last.
What positive difference is there here? I don’t get it. Are you making a joke? I’m legitimately confused
Oh wait are you saying I gave him self-awareness? Because no, I haven’t seen any evidence to suggest he’s capable of that.
I definitely don’t think you turned that person into an asshole.
I’m saying this person is negative, but maybe each interaction they have with real people brings them 1/1,000th closer to becoming sentient.
A potential silver lining to an otherwise completely crappy experience we had with this person.
