You know, looking back getting banned for saying "fuck trump and Obama" was a blessing in disguise. I still miss my cheap knockoff watch sub though :(
All my email addresses are perma-banned for replying to right wingers. I had death threats, people questioning my sanity and calling me slurs. When I tried to respond with even an iota of the same energy - banned. On Reddit, the right wing is king.
Yup. Despite all their virtue signaling, they give miles more leeway to chuds. Funny enough, despite my decade plus on there arguing with right winged idiots, I never got a "KYS" message. But only two months on here some hexbear bitch popped my cherry because I had the audacity to claim Hasan Piker did in fact shock his dog for the crime of wanting to move out of frame.
This is my second attempt at re-joining Lemmy after experiencing the same brother.
It sucks having to moderate yourself online so hard when you're passionate, genuinely care and want to share the uncomfortable truths of the world, but the consequence of a 24/7 deluge of negativity when you have a life to live is just not worth it hey.
I've been a bit of a hermit online and offline since the pandemic, 2026 is my year to try to strategically begin getting back out there!
I believe in you homie. But sadly this is my form of social interaction cause I work hardware security in secure facilities, which means I vastly work alone. Well this and Uber, but the people getting Uber in my state, are usually not people I see eye to eye with politically. So I usually just talk food, or about my kitty Furryosa.
Well for your sake I hope you find some choice places you can enjoy and be yourself online <3
If you're into sharing pics of Furryosa, Pixelfed could be a good one to check out.
Thanks homie!
The chuds stir the shit and create clicks for cash.
kys message?
You know there are worse things for a dog than a shock collar, getting killed in traffic, or shot by the neighbors, or hurting a neighbor's dog, being amongst them. They learn pretty soon with the shock there are audio warnings so they aren't getting shocked all the time.
My sibling in baphomet, watch the video. I'll break it down for ya actually.
Dog moves, Hasan's hand goes out of frame, the dog immediately yelps, and his immediate reaction is not of compassion and wondering why his dog just hollered in pain! It was him immediately insulting her!
I'm a big animal lover. And I think you are wrong!
Edit to add: I also think you're a bad person.
Edit edit: I'm happy I pissed off some of you animal abuse supporters.
I don't know anything about this person or this situation, but you've never had a dog die from traffic clearly. Hold your dying dog in your arms and then tell me how wrong the shock collar is that would've saved them from that fate.
You are dangerously [redacted.]
If only there was some way to prevent dogs from running into traffic other than delivering 12,000 volts to its neck
Go away troll.
Troll? So does that mean you actually believe that shock collars are the only way to control a dog?
Just want to let you know. Since you're pro animal abuse, I'm not reading anything you type. But the "[redacted]" ending caught my eye, and lets me know you are in fact a frightened [insulting word].
No you arent, hella dogs in your area getting put down right now at kill shelters, go save them all
"If you don't save every dog, you aren't a dog lover."
This is an insane take. By that local, someone doesn't love anything unless they are using all their time and energy on that one thing. Which is called obsession.
I have saved and retrained dogs in my time at the ASPCA in Orlando, where I was a kennel coach.
Now what amount of energy have you put into being a positive influence in the world?
Or complain about the high profile dog of celebrity who mena so much to you and you have so much energy for
There are worse things for a human than getting castrated, so come here a second and drop your pants.
Found the Israeli.
What logic is this when all pets are netured and spayed lol and thats considered good
This is some real talk! Like I'm a big supporter of gender affirming care and bathroom rights, but I'm two standard deviations to the right of the bell curve in terms of largeness and I got the super test gene.
I would happily give up a non insignificant amount of height, and donate ALL my test, if it meant I could have my younger back again.
Your gender doesn't start or end at your genitalia.
Edit: other than crotch homie, I would like some to explain to me why this statement is incorrect.
Your thoughts on gender are irrelevant to this conversation. "There are worse things" isn't an excuse to harm a sentient creature. There's worse things than being stabbed in the eye. Are you volunteering to be stabbed in the eye?
Who said"there are worse things"?
I said, fairly specifically, that I would gladly be more feminine.
The person I was replying to, before you inserted yourself into the conversation and derailed it
I was the person you responded to...
You're hector? If so, why don't you remember something you said a few hours ago?
Lmao! I'm in an argument with him too!
Edit to clarify: dude tried to question my community involvement. And I asked him if he was someone else I give no shelter to. I find it very funny you asked me this given my previous comments.
Oh so you thought I was him?
I think I mixed up a bunch of users I start arguments with(which in all honesty, I do way too much)
But it was dog zilla. https://lemmy.today/comment/22138351
I make mistakes, and I'll admit to them. I made a mistake, my bad.
It happens. It makes sense because your reply to me seemed so out of left field in the context of the point I was trying to make lol
Honestly, yes. I'll look up the comment right quick.
reddit is run by nazis, for nazis.
You were banned from Reddit for saying that? I feel like I've said worse and somehow haven't got one yet.
Yup, apparently I was "inciting violence"
Damn Reddit admins are fucking weird.
I find Lemmy's not much different if not more aggressive 🤷♂️
Lemmy's aren't much better. Despite being pretty far left, I'm banned from the progressive politics sub for completely fabricated reasons. And for context, I often get into arguments with .ml & hexbear users, and aside from some random communities I've never interacted with, they haven't banned me from much.
The role just attracted the wrong type of person.
I’m splitting hairs, but there’s no such thing as a lemmy admin. There are instance admins that can only moderate their own instances.
I meant community moderator. My bad for any confusion.
Yeah but that's mods. The nature of community moderation means there will always be abuse, but there's always more communities to join. But here you do get to choose your admins in a similar manner. Thankfully I chose well despite picking somewhat haphazardly.
Seeing the quality of your other posts I'm not inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Have you considered starting a cheap watch sub? I recently bought a quartz watch from the 70s for cheap and I’m refurbishing it (new strap, had the watchmaker oil the mechanics for 10 bucks). I’d hang out in that sub!
You got a permaban for saying fuck the president and obama? I said that all the time on there, the democratic cheerleaders get on my case but I've reason on my side, obama was a failure, biden was a failure, not fit for the moment, although at least obama could work a crowd biden was just embarrassing.
How many other violations had you gotten on that account before then? I always drop them after the 2nd one to prevent getting a permaban, but then quit for quite a while, first time a year and a half before I overcame my spite about being violated dishonestly for what I suspect was Israel related in fact but seized on unrelated posts not even against the rules.
I got perm banned from news@lemmy.world for saying “good” when Trump got a bloody ear
Huh. There should be clear rules to these subs, and an appeal process that ends in a jury trial of users. If the fediverse is ever going to reach critical mass it needs to be better than those silicon valley parasites that unfairly moderate for powerful interests like the government in dishonest ways.
Lemmy, and Reddit, are run by people… who have opinions, egos, the deep desire to control what you say and do, smug-cunt-attitudes, and hot tempers. Whatever they DONT LIKE goes. And if their friends break the rules, that’s totally fine.
