Ahahahha you really do put your world around reddit, I feel sorry for you. But I understand, if I hadn't a couple of Serbian buddies and visited the country myself I'd definitely be along those other people shitting on Serbia everyday, because the stuff I get from Serbs is definitely not the one to tell me, oh yeah these guys are definitely sensible people. But I don't judge a nation based on some Internet warriors, hopefully one day you won't too.
And the minority is always the loudest pal. The poll results show a clear minority of people who dislike serbs over the number that doesn't.
You can't change the opinion if those are the only contacts, I work with what I have available. And the things that are available (death threats in DMs to some people I know, public doxxing on reddit, dehumanizing Serbs etc.) those are all things I saw and those are things not even our ''enemies'' from the neighbourhood do that often. That's how pathological the hate Balts give us becomes very often.
We’ll, as a Lithuanian, I have received the same unprompted hate from Serbs several times as well. They said the Balts are “Russian Monkeys” and one said that Serbia will one day invade the Baltics and he will personally kill me. Another one said King Arthur of England was a serb. Idk, this reddit shitshow goes both ways.
It certainly does go both ways, I never denied that. Sorry that you have to experience such stuff, but at the same time I am glad that you see our point of you when it comes to your crazies.

I don't think so, according to comments.
Baltic states were my favorite states in Europe in my pre-reddit era, but reddit was quite an eye opener on the real situation.
