Dude, I want your instance to show all unhinged content. All the tankie and all the nazi stuff. Extremist statist are hilarious. Reading your debates gives me endless joy.

Wtf did I just read…

The pronouns are all over the place, is the person a they or a he. You didn’t capitalise any "I"s. In the first sentence, a semi-colon and a comma would have been appropriate. Why would you abbreviate “without”? You didn’t capitalise any first letter in any sentence. All in all, it’s a badly written post, and that’s before we start on the content.

So you’re upset at being ditched when it was made clear to you that you would’ve been a second in a polycule. A polycule that never existed because all parties didn’t consent. Even if this somehow worked; you would’ve been a second choice and ditched whenever convenient. It sounds like you got what you were bargaining for on a faster time scale, it was only a matter of time before you were set aside.

Then let’s get on to the fact that the polycule was never an option. You were being kept as a backup. Even if you started the polycule, the kind of people that can make a polycule work are not the same type of people who post on feddit when they’re upset. People that make poly work have strong support networks outside the poly.

Also, your non binary, almost partner was flirting with cheating, which makes them scum.

Why are you still talking to someone after being treated like that?

Have you listened to the Jamie Loftus podcast on mensa?

It demonstrates both ends of the argument beautifully. Very insightful show; I hated the presenter afterwards but I think her insight would mesh well with your point of view.

I don’t think trolls are in any way relevant to the moderation debate. People have the right to be stupid and other people have the right to talk shit about opinions they perceive as stupid. If you don’t want someone who potentially is going to shit on your opinions don’t post those opinions on a public forum.

I miss the wild West cluster fuck internet. Things were calmer when everyone was arguing with eachother. People came away from debates with the same opinion but at least learned a thing or two along the way. The sad thing about moderation and censorship is that there’s unintended consequences when we apply half measures. I my opinion moderation is an all or nothing deal. I’m on the don’t moderate anything and let people have shouting matches end of the spectrum.

When there’s minor moderation people self censor and it’s hard to gauge someone’s true opinion, which in my is more harmful than full censorship where you tow the party line; because everyone knows the party line and can figure out what is actually being said.

Started on lemmy today after reddit perma banned my 14 year old account for breaking the first rule of reddit. I may have told some to kill themselves. I’m definitely in the wrong but I don’t care I’m taking the ban personally and never using it again.
