I'm also apparently uncivil for chastising someone who was being a sourpuss.

To be transparent, it was @givesomefucks@lemmy.world

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 13 points 3 months ago

Pure gold lol

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 12 points 3 months ago

They gave a fuck and you're complaining. SMH. ^/s^

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Im not sure how i feel about this.
On one hand giveaomefucks usually has some really bad takes.
On the other hand I've never had a problem with Wesker.

Choices, choices...

So I think @givesomefucks@lemmy.world complaint was they blocked me a long time ago, but when I mention them they still receive notifications. However, I don't understand how that's my problem, and I think they should probably just create a GitHub issue in the appropriate repo to get that patched.

Listen Doc, I'm still trying to figure out who to be mad at here. Don't come at me with completely plausible scenarios!

[–] wesker 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well clearly be mad at the mods. Whatever spat @givesomefucks@lemmy.world and I are in, it's somewhat beside the point, and I'm sure it'll fizzle out. It's ultimately a software issue that is outside either of our control.

I was just joking around with you

[–] qrstuv 6 points 3 months ago

I'm so sorry that happened to you.

Blud is beefing with irl Albert Wesker

I don't subscribe to the terms "goodie" or "baddie".

Are you the morally complex antagonist?

[–] wesker 4 points 3 months ago

I don't know man, I was just trying to post funny things on a meme about the Knights Templar.

They’re calling you Yata Kouji, a Japanese voice actor who passed way in ‘14. No idea why.

[–] pieguy 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The estranged sibling of PATA and SATA.

[–] wesker 5 points 3 months ago

In Boston they have WATA

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 7 points 3 months ago

you are the awesome!

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

The Youth Atlantic Treaty Association (YATA) was created in 1996, and you don't even know about it!? Pfft

[–] Fleur_@hilariouschaos.com 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can it be a rule you actually have to include the post that got you banned

[–] wesker 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I didn't make a post, and the related comments are in the screenshot. Or am I misunderstanding the request?

[–] Fleur_@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A link to the post you commented on for context

[–] notwesker 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Posters are free to do this, but it's not a rule.

[–] Fleur_@hilariouschaos.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think it should. By not including this information it's hard to understand what's even happening. I guess it falls into the problem of all communities built around collective hate of something which is that the default response of people will just to be angry at whatever is posted.

I like the idea of a community that calls out mod abuse but I'm seeing lots of posts where it's like "I said these things and I was banned." Like okay? What judgements can I really make. Are you being honest? If I go to the post will you have really only said those things? Will there be other comments where you are saying other things that might play into the mods decision? Simply providing links to posts would help so much in quelling break out bloodlust in these lynch mob like communities. And for the cases where there is definitive mod abuse if the post isn't linked I can't go there and see that.

Probably give this community a couple more chances, if the quality of posts stays like this I'll just filter it like I do with all the other "thing bad" communities.

[–] notwesker 2 points 3 months ago

This is just a support hotline. There may be other communities that better suit this criteria, if it's what you'd prefer.

Fuck canadians. Bagged milk drinking dorks.
