It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

    Holy FUCK lol

    I knew things were getting weird but I had no idea. I can’t even begin to unpack all the layers of this. There’s too much.

    “How dare you speak ill of the people above you, disagree with their decisions and explain why even, on this YPTB sub. That is classed as ‘pissy’ and ‘shitty’ and will earn a perma ban for those reasons. Meanwhile, if you have a grudge against a ‘turbolib’, here are some handy slurs you might want to use…”

    I still also can’t fathom the apparently successful effort to start to split people into “pro AI” and “anti AI” camps.

        I was mostly talking about the modlog, check out the bans for SoftestSapphic and snoogums for example.

          Sapphic being unkind with her transphobia that came up unrelated because she wanted to?

          I’ll check snoogums later

            Sapphic is trans.

            She literally was making a pretty simple and coherent point:

            People wouldn’t have engaged with the trolls if the admins banned them, but they didn’t. But sure, keep abusing your position to remove my comments stating the abuse of your staff, i bet it feels great every time. Blahaj is more of a tribalistic cult than a safe space these days. And you can’t guilt me into falling in line like the ones afraid of getting banned. And about my modlog, the bans for “Gatekeeping” are actually for disagreeing with the moderation decisions that protected the trolls, this is a common blanket ban used by blahaj admins to avoid accountability.

            Comment removed. “Off topic and pissy.” And then, ban. And you’re so deep in the db0-hole that you have fully absorbed the idea “disagreeing with db0 mods on their handling or defense of a trans issue = transphobia,” and don’t blink an eye or notice a problem with that whole sequence of events. Karl Rove would be proud.

            I genuinely think you probably look at that and think “Yep, that makes perfect sense, that trans person is super transphobic, which I’m definitely qualified to judge her on and ban her for, as is db0, yep, get her the fuck out of here before she fucks up our handling of trans issues by giving input to them.” Meanwhile, in reality-land, it is fairly obvious that the dbzer0 admins are just kind of doing whatever they want, and reaching for random Lemmy-friendly labels to slap on their reasons, which you will then not question for some reason.

      It’s not that deep, it’s just people getting banned over downvoting in communities they don’t contribute to. A debate even older than Lemmy

      I still also can’t fathom the apparently successful effort to start to split people into “pro AI” and “anti AI” camps.

      Yeah, I just don’t get why it’s getting so heated lately https://lemmy.world/post/31072292/17587686

        I was talking about the bans for SoftestSapphic and snoogums among others. Banning people for downvoting stuff from communities they “don’t contribute to” is also stupid, that’s literally how voting is supposed to work: To surface content people want to see and reduce content people object to. It’s honestly not a real great system but deciding that anyone who downvotes your community’s content is obviously an asshole and deserves to be disabled from being able to do that, so that your content will be protected against people who don’t like it using the Lemmy features which are designed for the content they don’t like, is some only-child “you can’t hit me I’m a ghost” fuckin’ nonsense too.
