I bring you sovcits so Google can't capitalize on their crazy, you're welcome.
Google will try their hardest to capitalize the data on lemmy. They will crawl our data and will try to associate it with a real person by cross-referencing as many digital fingerprints they can get their grubby hands on, just so that they can send an advertisement when we browse the internet.
I implore to the people of Lemmy to not use their real name on the website, unless it's for publicity.
Wait we aren’t supposed to use our real names? Shit.
Lemmy might not be the future. The mods are just as oversensitive and overzealous as the Reddit mods. I was banned from the Vegan forum for telling them that they are never going to convince meat eaters to stop eating meat based on animal rights issues, because nobody cared about animal rights like they do. Sorry, but its true. I have also had an entire comment chain deleted from an Unpopular Opinion thread--I don't even care to go back and check what it was all about, but I can guarantee it was because I wasn't conforming to popular opinion.
And this is happening to a person that is generally in tune with everything people are saying here--I can't imagine the valuable insights that we may be losing to moderator action that I never even get to see.
You went to a niche forum and told them what they believe in is stupid?
Our deleted comments are stored on modlog. You honestly don't have many deleted comments. We all get angry, it happens. Some discussions are just better to leave alone than deal with.
Many of your deleted comments are over the top arguments. Yes I get that "over the top is subjective" but we have discussions about genocide that are calmer than your discussions about terrible mechanics who are so terrible... that you imagine them going to vote for abortion bans and transgender mistreatment. Another comment you made fun of the person's body (you also assumed their gender I guess) for not agreeing with you on how loud cars on.
We all get laughed at here. Happens to all of us. I got called the "embodiment" of a particular meme. Someone is going always going to disagree with me about something, they can just block me if it becomes an issue.
Lemmy is not perfect but it's so much better than the alternatives. The reason why Lemmy is awesome is because its developers (self identifying tankies) would NEVER have a platform to discuss what they want. They had to build one that was impervious to pushing them into a corner on their own server/instance.
(I'm not referring to you here.) Oh the irony going out of your way to find tankie content (none of it shows up on Lemmy.world) and antagonizing them on the software they created in a way where their view isn't rammed down your throat in the first place.
I am not sure I even knew there was a mod log. Tried to find it in my app--didn't see it, but maybe I just missed it. I wanted to see which comment I made that was making fun of someone's body, because that -doesn't- sound like something I'd do unless they'd made an equally annoying remarks first. But it's good to hear the mod log exists at all.
The usual work flow is that I'll comment on something people don't agree with, and multiple (2-5) people will jump on my comment with pointless insults and dumb counter-arguments, and there's no way I am going to handle more than one person at a time with kids gloves. I'm not even projecting controversial opinions imo (unless they hate cars lawl). I'm usually already on the same side as everyone else, and they just disagree with my interpretation when the whole point of the conversation was to suggest that there might be alternative strategies, instead of doing the same thing they have been doing that hasn't been successful since the dawn of time (or whatever)
Ridiculous.
I'm mostly annoyed by the vegan thing I mentioned originally--I'm not vegan, but I do like animals and it's annoying to see them use the dumbest strategies in the world. They almost make me want to eat more animals just to spite them for being so out of touch.
Yeah, sometimes I feel there are people who are kind of coming together here when they find something they disagree with. There's nothing we can do about that. edit: Likewise, people who agree with what I said are also free to reply to the person I disagreed with as well. It works both ways.
You can always find a link to the modlog at the bottom of every page in the desktop web version of any Lemmy instance. You can search for any user on a federated instance. No need typing "@" symbol.
I just hate that when switching instances I can't take my content with me. Instances go down the drain constantly and then so much stuff gets lost.
Getting a lot of Time magazine person of the year feelings from that text image.
