This is a violation of rule 5 but nothing will be done because all mods everywhere are assholes that selectively enforce the rules.
Everywhere.
I thought lemmy was an exception, but it turns out it isn’t.

To be fair 3 lemmy communities have banned me exclusively for my username.


But don’t put it on the little bumps and scrapes of children under one.


Anthrax, no I’m not joking.


How naive to think that those indecent forum manipulating supermods don’t have accounts across most popular instances.
I was able to afford meat twice this week!


I’m originally from the South, where it is officially pronounced ‘Apawstrohfee’, thank you. Respect my heritage.


… you aren’t an idiot. And purposefully screwing up the apostrophe isn’t going to fool me.


I like arguing with idiots on the internet.


Not a word.
So they missed the space bar, do you really need to be a douchenozzle about it?


This kind of doublespeak has become the standard for corporate bullshittery.
At this point, ANY communication from service providers that starts out like this is just another way for them to screw you for profit.
They learned it from politics. Anything ‘for the children’…
That’s how they sold us the Patriot Act, ‘for OUR safety’…
FUUUUCK it makes me so ANGRY I taste blood…


The reason why we are in a capitalistic death spiral is BECAUSE power is concentrated in the hands of a few sociopaths.
Crowdsourcing has shown net positives in nearly every study it is examined, including several interesting TED talks about altruistic human cooperation.
The thing is, the few psychopaths at the top think EVERYONE thinks like them, which is why they assume that without the fear of starvation that no one would ever do anything productive. Because THEY wouldn’t.
When the REAL truth is the vast majority of humanity is cooperative, creative, and generous, but those traits do not help when climbing power structures, which is why all the assholes seem to flow to the top.
If you trust people and have a large enough crowd, the good nearly always outweighs the bad, like that collaberative pong game where they gave everyone in the audience laser pointers to control two pong paddles.
Sure some jerkwads deliberately tried to work against the group, but they were very few and the game was played meaningfully and the crowd had fun, BECAUSE the cooperative collaboration impulse in the vast majority of people outweighs the destructive impulse.
Think of guys digging a hole on a beach, for no profit, for mostly no reason but they’ll get a HUGE ton of guys to help dig that hole. And sure there’s some yahoos there that will kick sand back in or try to collapse walls, but they are far outpaced by the eager and happy people just digging a hole for no reason because it is fun and who knows what might happen.
If we had direct democracy in all things, in all laws, and in complete legal reform, I think we could have a world a lot closer to utopia than capitalism can ever come.


When I was in 3rd grade, the asshole sitting on the right of me liked to lick his finger and stick it in my ear when the teacher wasn’t looking.
I had repeatedly asked my teacher to be moved, explaining calmly what he was doing.
Her response? "Oh he’s just playing, I’ve never seen him do it, Just tell him to stop, You should stop disrupting class with your games’.
No amount of asking them to stop made a difference, it only encouraged him.
In every case he’d do it again and again but the only thing the teacher saw was me getting more and more and more irritated till I would finally shove him away or grab his arm.
Then I was off to the principal’s office. Just me.
Same thing here except in this case, the other kid is a prinicipal’s nephew, the teacher is his mother.


I’m so fucking glad at least one other person in this thread is aware of it.
That said, I’m probably going to be instance banned in an hour or so, that fuckdamn sockpuppet did its job very well and apparently has admin friends.
So, lemmy is likely compromised just as reddit is, pro-corporate spin control accounts working together with instance mods and admins to direct the narrative AWAY from ‘Fuck the corporations’ and always to in-fighting and intra-class warfare.


Removed by mod


Ok now I am convinced by the timings of your posts and mod responses, including private ones that you should not be aware of, that you are a sockpuppet for an activist mod.
You actively seek out conflict with dumbshit hot takes and then use your mod powers/connections to punish those that rise to your bait.
Exactly the same fucking tactic that ruined reddit.


That function can be crowdsourced, you don’t need individuals to moderate effectively, you just need an engaged userbase with 10% responsible people.


Oh there are good mods but they are always forced out by the bad because admins can’t tell the difference and there are a fucktonne more bad than good.


Since your clever little use of the report button means we can’t talk there, I figured we’d bring the conversation here.
I don’t get class traitors like you, and I’m hoping by yelling at you enough I can figure out at least some of how you tick.
Why is everyone from lemmy.ml such a greasy, dripping shitstain?
