Fuck me, better do what they tell me!

oh my fucking god

Throw the URL in tor and it should work fine.

The odds of someone only behaving that way in certain communities is probably slim to none. I’d just make sure you have clear rules in place so that if you ever have to take action against those types of people you aren’t immediately put on blast for power tripping or whatever.

Are you the sole moderator of whatever comm you’re talking about? Maybe you should talk to some of the other people who are active in the community, see if they are interested in helping mod, and decide together what the right course of action is.

Alternatively this is your chance to lay a few ground rules and then point to them when this behavior comes up again. Make it clear that human decency isn’t optional and that you won’t allow others to be trampled on just for a little bit of traffic in the community. This gives whoever may need it a chance to curb that behavior instead of immediately lowering the boom on them, and shows the rest of the community that you aren’t going after people on a personal vendetta.

I’m going with Oscar mostly because I’m constantly finding weed bits all over myself. I also really enjoy the idea of the “grouch” toking away in his little hideaway while everyone thinks he’s angry.

Reddit is not a “good” company but at least they are doing the right thing here.

That’s a joke? Shit I thought they circled the right answer.

Appreciate that circle

Anyone who thinks they stand a chance against drones with a gun hasn’t been paying attention to what’s happening in Ukraine.

Gonna pew pew a CEO in the back? Sure, guns work for that.

Trying to save your own life against a fast and agile target that needs way less precision than you to be effective and probably never even presents a target? Nah mate, you’re fucked.

There are definitely more vegans on lemmy but given they are frequently targeted with harassment and trolling I doubt all of them are willing to expose themselves to such behavior.

I’m happy lemmy is flexible enough to offer spaces for all of us, assholes be damned. Thanks for offering places for people to feel comfortable!

I saw, I was just venting frustration at that specific viewpoint.

It’s annoying that the same tired tactics are being applied to every corner of the internet.

“I think it’s important, for the ecosystem to thrive, that there be a way to have premium content to build businesses here,” he said. “That’s a fundamental belief.”

Hard pass.

There isn’t a need, that’s some bullshit. Maybe some want to monetize their platform, but certainly not all. Fuck this push for finding another way to charge people for shit at every turn being masked as creator support.

I hate it.

One of my favorite matrix games is playing “guess where it thinks the unread marker should be.”

I’m just as likely to be right as it is.

Matrix definitely has its problems. Recently I’ve moved to a private matrix install and a lot of the issues I was having went away. I think the matrix.org domain is overloaded and has a bunch of weird errors because of it. If your account or rooms are hosted there and you have issues I’d try running somewhere else and see if you have the same problems.

Like someone else said the clients have issues too. A lot of them don’t know how to report the errors they run into so they spit out garbage. There isn’t a single client that works perfectly but there are a few that are good enough to use if you aren’t using them for mission critical communication. It’s stupid but it is what it is.

Discord sucks ass and no one will convince me otherwise. I have no desire to support them and their constant nitro spam. I’d rather use something like matrix and see how it develops.
