Haha, well this aged like milk

I taught myself how to cook and it’s been life-changing.

I humbly request you post this in https://lemmy.cafe/c/benjamingetthemusket

Make the thread and I’ll pin it

Why is a Satan club worse than a Christian club when we know both belief systems are bullshit?

👆

Because I refuse to give up on speaking the truth about the matter, and how corrupt the admins are, and demonstrating the very serious flaws and problems Lemmy as a platform has (there are a lot of ways people can exploit Lemmy to be a massive douche canoe, for starters).

Because truth is valuable for its own sake even if no one will listen.

People really ought to go back to separate websites and small forums, and get away from federation in general. It doesn’t do any real good.

Stupid fucking ideas.

It’s almost like federation is a stupid fucking idea that doesn’t work

It’s almost like it’s fundamentally broken and no one else wants to admit it

And it does, because I am the one who has been calling out popular instances for this crap since day one and have been banned repeatedly for it. To which you don’t bat an eye because who cares what happens to an inebriated pachyderm? Instance admins would never abuse their power to protect their feelings or cover up their wrongdoing with you. You’re kind and sober, after all.

Ask yourself where it is you’re going to go when .world admins ban you for criticizing them, or other innocuous shit like your political speech, or simply because they don’t like you. .world controls the vast majority of Lemmy’s userbase so what happens to you and any followings you build then? What will happen when major protests erupt next year and they censor people like fucking Reddit did?

All I can do is warn you. And once again you’ll refuse to listen to me because you’re too busy, how did you put it? Making it all about you and your hurt feelings from my words instead of displaying the humility and wisdom required to do what’s right. And the one who will pay the price for it is you.

And yet here I am, telling you facts being the one to suffer the most from calling them out, while nothing bad happens to you. Fancy that

I agree with you. I am merely pointing out the facts of the matter, that’s all.

That’s not gonna stop them. They can arbitrarily make as many accounts as they need to do it, and just bounce from account to account one comment at a time if necessary.

Most people have at least a few alts on other instances simply by virtue of instance shopping. Meaning most people already can evade bans.

It’s just a bad, broken system.

Here’s the problem I have with the whole wack-ass federation system:

Those Hexbear trolls could just make accounts on other instances and keep messing with people without consequences.

Most major Lemmy instances aren’t heavily moderated and the ones that are are only modded to serve the emotional whims of the mods and admins, and not for the benefit of the users.

The whole-ass structure still has a hierarchy and therefore is still problematic.

Welcome to the wonderful world of bilateral genocide.

Edit: nvm I’ve looked at your profile after seeing some of your unhinged comments here ; I now fully believe you are eleven yourself and under the delusion that you are, in fact, an adult.

And yet here you are arguing with me as an adult and wanting me gone as one, regardless of my actual age, so what are you doing except proving my point exactly?

Those others are their friends and family, not abusive authoritarians causing the very violence they convinced you they’re here to stop.

Oh lol at you comparing some spoiled kid who killed his own mother to neurodivergent people as if that isn’t blatantly ableist and insulting as fuck.

Also you need to learn empathy and to start seeing things from the other side. The safety of everyone else is more important than this kid’s feelings because he killed an innocent person unjustifiably. That fact does not change because he is a kid. He is now a threat to the community, and you’ve no right to demand the community subvert its own right to existence just to appease your wack-ass sensibilities.

His punishment has to put him in jail where he’ll be removed from society and still retain some rights. It’s the only fair and just way.

This is a kid, it’s an accident, a tragic one.

This is you sympathizing with the wrong person and not caring about anyone other than yourself and you making yourself look good at the expense of literally everyone around you.

Excuse you, Mr. You’re-An-Invalid-Not-Capable-Of-Defending-Yourself? Your whole point is deeply insulting and offensive. Be civil and stop making it. See how that works? Anything can and is uncivil to somewhere at sometime. So don’t cry to me about your poor sensitive little feelings when you give not one single fuck for mine.

If he doesn’t have a gun and can’t fight, then he needs cops to protect him from people who do have guns and can fight.

No, the answer to not having a gun and not being able to fight is to get a gun and gain the ability to fight. If you cannot do that, ally yourself with friends and family who 1) do and 2) are willing to defend you, even with their lives.

That’s the only real answer because we’ve seen clearly that cops 1) legally are not obligated to protect anybody, 2) won’t, 3) are tyrannical and more interested in entrenching power over other people than doing anything positive.

Cops are not the answer to the human condition. Only friends and family are, really. Only you youself are, ultimately.

Is that everyone? No. I never said it was.

That’s clearly what you’re implying, or did you mean something else by your obnoxious threatening statement?

She sounds like she has “I don’t really gie a fuck about my kids and don’t actually want them” disease.

The only cure for which is an ass whipping. Well, she’s getting jail time where that sort of thing is par for the course, so there’s that.

There really just shouldn’t be cops.
