“You look unhealthy! You should go stand in that really large room and absorb the radiation from that gigantic space-based fusion reactor more!”

You’re right, that sounds like a great idea.

Yes! The business about servers not carrying some groups but carrying others feels a lot like the Lemmy federation wars.

Obvious spammer is obvious

There are a lot of smaller channels that are just people who are really good at something showing off what they do. It’s pretty amazing.

I am downplaying nothing. I call it “culture” because it’s not about a substantive disagreement about politics or ideology. It’s about the way they engage with each other and the world around them. Their collective pattern of behavior. There is a word for that. It’s called culture. And it’s pretty fucking hard to break out of.

I find your insistence to dig in here frankly a bit baffling.

I feel like we’re playing a semantics game here.

We are definitely referring to the same behavior.

They run around the fediverse picking ten arguments at a time, getting in people’s faces, escalating moderation decisions to instance admins and generally have zero chill.

This is, for most people including me, toxic behavior. They have a toxic posting culture.

yet, I still see weird and factually wrong takes like this.

It helps if you engage with the “takes” before you label them.

Most hexbears are stand up chaps and under normal circumstances we get along great. The main issue as far as I’m concerned is that their posting culture does not align with what I want out of my Lemmy experience.

Basically, they are fighters. They run around the fediverse picking ten arguments at a time, getting in people’s faces, escalating moderation decisions to instance admins and generally have zero chill.

Me, I like to hang out with chill people and relax and shoot the shit about video games and stuff. Yes yes I know western imperialism bad, but after the fifth time I’m done with the topic.

Are you 70?

Seriously, gaming is the most popular hobby in the under-50 set. More popular than football and fishing put together. This persecution complex stuff is just sad.

Also, peak /c/arethestraightsok energy.

ASOIAF is a great series. It’s a shame we’re not going to see anymore books.

And how I’ve gotten massively nerd sniped when I should be doing other stuff. Great!

TASTE COLD STEEL, FEEBLE CANNON RESTRAINT ROPE!

How much is the “sign up fee”? Because, ngl, I’m really curries about that PowerPoint now.

Can’t think why people would be calling you -ist. No red flags there at all.

You don’t want to talk about the evils of NATO and the scourge of western imperialism in every single thread? What a lib!

I love how the slogans get longer.

At least you seem to recognize Ukraine as an independent country, which is better than many of your fellow travelers do.

People who would deny a country’s right to defend itself.

Has happened several times in drawing connections between migration and illegal acts.

BEHOLD! THE GREAT MAGIC TRICK!!

why can’t I say the N word

immigrants are criminal

In two short posts!!!

… But whenever men even mention “hey, we’re not all the villains you’re making us to be, y’know?” we get such a huge backlash that we figure out it’s pointless.

No one thinks “all men are the villain”.

If women treat you like this consistently, I guarantee you, you give off some kind of villain vibes.

You need to figure that shit out instead of externalizing the fuck out of it, like you are doing here.

I’m amazed at how incredibly bad labour is at getting its shit together. Come on people!
