You said "banned you from the whole instance", which isn't something a moderator can do. Only admins can do instance wide bans, moderators are limited to bans from their own comms.

It wasn't unreasonable to think you were mixing up moderator and admin. Plenty of people did during the first reddit exodus, and still do.

Good old Jonathan Coulton. Guy who did the closing songs for Portal and Portal 2.

Everyone has to portray themeselves within the bounds of "corporately acceptable" for so much of their fucking time that it becomes easier to just stop context switching and let those parts of yourself atrophy.

Given your recent posts?

No. Just go no contact. They're 24 years old. They're going to cry. Breakups usually hurt, and that's ok. It's ok to hurt sometimes.

He is not your responsibility to fix. He didn't respect you or your interests to begin with. If he's worth breaking up with it's worth just going no contact.

You don't need to speculate or go "I guarantee".

No, they don't, at least not the site wide admins.

This community is part of dbzer0, so if you were banned from the instance you wouldn't be able to post here either.

It looks like you pissed off on moderator of a bunch of comms and they banned you from all of theirs. Based off another commentor's link, this seems to have happened when those comms were being hit by waves of drive by downvoting so you may have been caught in the cross fire.

It's dbzer0, and that's the instance this comm is hosted on. So no, none of the Admins of the instance "went schizo".

Looks like a mod of multiple comms maybe.

I have this printed out at work and at home specifically to try and help counter that. Can't really say that it's working though, lol.

I usually have to argue in terms of time savings from eliminating surface for human error.

Excuse me? I didn't say fucking anything about keeping this from being political. I suggested some extra patience and room for nuance when judging the voting populace on the actions of their elected officials.

Beyond that, did my phrasing about getting your scope zeroed fly over your fucking head? Only clipped your ear maybe?

To make it crystal fucking clear: I told you that your take is absolutely fucking ghoulish to direct at the victims and I stand by that. Go after the fucking politicians with all you fucking have, not the people who have lost their kids.

That's it. None of this fucking essay you've imagined into my motiviations. I'm done, so feel free to crazy up some more shit I never said. Have fun with it. Go nuts.

Spite/Fury has been a good one for me in the past, in addition to those.

"How in the fuck was this ever allowed to get to this point? There's no way we can keep up with this unless we change the approach. I'm automating this shit whether they like it or not."

Write an entire chunk of code to handle some edge case that shouldn't exist, but does because people are stupid and make typos on critical shit, in one single frustration fuelled fugue state.

A company that makes learning material to help people learn to code made a test of programming basics for devs to find out if their basic skills have atrophied after use of AI. They posted it on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44507369

Not a lot of engagement yet, but so far there is one comment about the actual test content, one shitposty joke, and six comments whining about how the concept of the test itself is totally invalid how dare you.

I'm not following how blocking this handful of users involves "getting really good with personal filters". In jerboa it's like three taps to block someone, and the last time I used voyager or lemmy through a desktop browser it was similarly easy. And how does blocking people uncritically posting that content risk blocking people bashing AI?

This just seems like a repeat of the witch hunt post about the db0 instance a few days ago. I can only speak for myself, but the last thing I want is for this to become some sort of community where we organize against specific users or communities. Fighting amongst ourselves in this little slice of internet social media will have no effect on the actual companies and market forces pushing this slop.

A big part of what makes lemmy what it is is that people aren't doing that sort of witch hunt shit here. If you want to curate other communities, then make your own copy and enforce your rules on it, or work your way into their mod team.

Most of all, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. And holding their head under just gets you a drowned horse. Speak out as you can and curate your own experience.
