  • You are free to insult as many people on the internet as you please. You will not be very popular though, for that is generally frowned upon.

    I'm waiting for the internet to have more people mentally healthy enough to not judge someone for appropriate use of insults.

    When speaking to strangers online keep in mind basic netiquette, and “read the air” per say.

    Don't understand this.

    The world does not revolve around the USA

    The US is the seat of the global petrodollar economy

  • Very intriguing YouTube link you had btw

  • I really can't tell if you're sincere or not. I apologize for that.

    I don't get how people keep conflating me with right-wing people. It's like right-wing people are going around imitating me to confuse people or something. It seriously makes no sense. It's enraging and incomprehensible.

    That instance appears to not allow open signups. I don't want to be associated with a place that says "fill out an application and wait to be approved."

    I can't get this comment right. It needs to show less emotion because it could bother someone to read it. But it needs more emotion because I'm too tired of all this. I don't know what to say.

  • I am neither willing nor able to run a home server. I won't last long on Lemmy unless server admins / other users allow me to

  • Are you absolutely sure you’re getting banned over that specifically?

    That is what you asked and I answered. Yes.

    What specifically are you using your freedom of speech to say that’s getting you banned?

    In this case, mainly Lemmy’s federation is broken + we need more freedom of speech.

    Across all cases, “we need more freedom of speech” is a pretty common example of what specifically I get banned from online discussion for being honest about.

    Making me repeat this furthers my view that you are probably not too sheltered to be familiar with this, but just gaslighting me about it

  • So, am I allowed to say "fuck off, rightoid" for implying I'm a "chud," or is the instance I moved to still not safe for me to insult you back from - whereas you're safe to insult me because you have your fellow, what I hope I'm allowed to call (as I see you and them), rightoids to back you up?

  • Honesty about what specifically?

    In this case, mainly Lemmy's federation is broken + we need more freedom of speech

    Across all cases, "we need more freedom of speech" is a pretty common example of what specifically I get banned from online discussion for being honest about

    Most people anywhere I've been, online or offline, are anti-honesty, so when you say that's hard for you to understand, it's like you're either from a very sheltered place that makes you completely blind to the US, or like you're another American that's anti-honesty and super manipulative about it

  • Not a real answer to what I asked, but a passive aggressive way of suggesting the answer is no, if I'm understanding correcly?

  • I've only been banned from one so far but the votes on posts are about as unfair as reddit so it feels like every instance has a user base that's anti-honesty and will thus have mods or admins that are anti-honesty.

    It also seems super depressingly common to have basically "no insults" as a rule, confirming anti-honesty (especially since I've never seen a place with that rule where it was actually enforced on an equal basis). Like, the instance I'm using has that rule, so are they serious about that or is it just written wrong? I'm hoping they just wrote it wrong, not that they're actually saying "we will ban you for insulting others while you will not be able to do anything about others insulting you"

  • Plus, testers who are already getting paid, and legal department says our hiring paperwork already covered all the liability stuff.

    I mean, their. I don't work at Amazon or anything.

    Edit - since people keep seeming to want to slander me on Lemmy, let me be clear for anyone digging through my comment history: the mystery in this comment is purely for humor. I truly do not work at Amazon, never have. I encourage anyone unfamiliar with Amazon's manipulative anti-union psychopathic bullshit to look into that (though it's dwarfed by stuff like their environmental crimes and genocidal Israeli complicity)

  • But lossless isn't lossless. It's just digitally lossless. The metaphor here would be more like analog conversion, where a FLAC copy of a vinyl isn't exactly the same as the vinyl.

    I think. Idk. I'm overthinking the metaphor without really knowing what a soul is or anything.

  • I want a removable battery in my robot.

    Both for the obvious, paranoid, silly reason, and also for other reasons that actually make sense.

  • After posting this:

    • Several people spammed me and gaslit me for a little while
    • Skavau@piefed.social continued spamming, gaslighting; escalated to trying to provoke inappropriate replies; refused to move the discussion to a more appropriate platform when I pointed this out; started threatening to report me for "insults"
    • At one point, Skavau@piefed.social slandered Aaron Swartz era reddit (to me, this is basically slandering Aaron Swartz - this is the one thing Skavau absolutely needs to apologize for)

    • After dealing with that for about 12 hours, I was banned by sh.itjust.works
    • I learned unlike reddit, being banned by a Lemmy instance prevents you from even logging in to archive your inbox or anything like that
    • I am now trying to reply from futurology.today, but there are replies from Skavau@piefed.social that I can still see on sh.itjust.works but haven't been able to find or reply to on futurology.today (while replying to others)
    • My hatred for this species has increased 0.001%, leaving that much more of my love for the planet we live on

    So, is there an instance I should actually use? Is futurology.today also gonna ban me for "insults" sooner or later?

  • Sorry, so you’re too lazy to click a link. You need an image every time?

    I'd also be fine with you not replying.

    https://i.imgur.com/KXvX9Vv.png

    This shows up as an imgur link for me, not the actual image.

    Here is where you denied that instances can have their own themes.

    I doubt it. Maybe you're misreading. Can you get an image to show up as an embed on the instance I'm using now?

    It’s in the link.

    But why post links when I'm not clicking them?

    I actually provide the evidence for things you claim you didn’t say.

    Not possible since I don't really claim I didn't say things I said.

    If you refuse to back your claims up, why would you expect to agree with them?

    Because people don't typically disagree with themselves too much.

  • How would I do that?

    I don't know or very much care.

    Why would you assume I would do that?

    Not the first time I've dealt with someone like you, obviously.

    All I’ve done is reply to you in a thread.

    Sure.

    It wouldn’t be enough to hide them because instance admins can see deleted posts.

    That's good.

    But in any case, I haven’t insulted you.

    Incorrect. You have insulted me repeatedly.

    You have insulted me repeatedly.

    Correct. I have also insulted you repeatedly.

  • They have zero involvement in the Fediverse.

    Incorrect.
