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.

You’d prefer that one person decide by fiat what’s OK or not? I don’t know about you but I find democracy superior to dictatorship, even when nominally “benevolent” .
So, obvious harassment and toxicity needs to be put to a vote for any action to be taken? Yeah, I’m going to have to disagree on that one.
Why not post on !modabuse@lemmy.sdf.org if you want to report such abuse on a place where db0 admins can’t intervene?
Since sdf is federated with dbzer0, then how is it safe from the dbzer0 mob? As you can see, lemmy.world/support was not safe either.
I really just want them all to leave me alone.
I meant that they can’t remove the post or comments, not that they can’t comment
I don’t see how that’s helpful at all. What does that do? At best get some validation?
I just happen to be particularly unskilled at convincing others and I can get riled up easily when someone needlessly tries to bully me. That shouldn’t qualify me for the treatment I’ve received here on Lemmy, but that’s not how it’s worked out.
I hate this place.
So then you can use that post to support your claims when you say you are getting bullied
Advice was given on other threads. There are probably topics that you like that are not meta related. You can focus on those.
“Create a different account”
“Spend a bunch of time carefully curating a list of comms that don’t have toxic users.”
“Spend your own time and effort in order to avoid people needlessly being assholes to you because nothing else will happen to help the situation. They will continue to get away with it and others will support them for it.”
That’s not exactly making a good case for staying.
We discussed it already.
Where else to go? Based on your last comments, it seems like if you had another place to go, you would have gone already
theres always the superior alternative !YPTBcirclejerk@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Clearly, it’s not “obvious” at all. Again, we anarchists tend to prefer democracy over dictatorship.
I wasn’t necessarily referring only to the specific circumstance. I was also pointing out the flaw in the logic of “only democracy”.
Again, my point was that a common feedback loop and/or an alignment of a person’s toxicity can easily protect someone from justice. Similar to what is happening to the US political parties, particularly the Republican party. Plenty of people align and agree with what is happening and thus it is allowed to continue and even escalate.
As long as someone can paint a better picture and have a following to support then, then a person can get away with seemingly anything at dbzer0. Just gotta get those votes from the people willing and able to participate during the voting period.
What’s your superior alternative?
I’m supposed to have a “superior alternative” to point out the issues in a system?
How about just simply take action under some circumstances where it makes sense. Don’t let admins/mods/users get away with being toxic. Use logic and reasoning and put aside your own biases to look at a situation more objectively.
I just want these toxic dbzer0 users to leave me alone. Why is that so hard to understand? Do I need to create some formal case and put it to vote on an instance that I’ve blocked because I want to avoid it and their toxic users all because I can’t get away from these people who attack me for a simple disagreement of opinion?
So your suggest is that I just act by fiat against the other mods?
I don’t know mate, I feel like your issues would be resolved if you didn’t go in random threads and start badmouthing our instance as a whole and then complain the our users try to defend it.
There you go. “badmouthing”. “try to defend it.” This is it right here. The fact you call that behavior “defending” is appalling and insulting. That there shows precisely my issues with you, the admins, and the instance as a whole. You and your group are willing to lie and twist whatever you need to turn the situation into your favor. As long as you have your followers, you’ll get away with it, too.
Anyone who has a reasonable issue is “badmouthing” and the toxic admins who antagonize and escalate are just “trying to defend”.
Fuck right off with that.
You literally jumped into this very discussion I was having with someone else. I saw you elsewhere just piping up out of the blue just to shit on our instance, don’t try to play the victim here that’s you’re just minding your own and bad people keep hounding you.
Stop shitstirring if you don’t want to be splattered with shit.
Sorry, but thr only one lying and twisting the truth has always been yourself.
Why not just blocking them?
Because then they can’t keep playing the victim.
That would allow them to continue being assholes unabated without anyone defending me. They’ve already shown themselves to barge in on my comments and posts with lies.
I just just bury my head in the ground and pretend that’s not happening?
Blocking is a normal way to avoid interacting with people you don’t want to.
Hexbear or lemmygrad users could be talking about you without you seeing it due to defederation, it’s not that different
