I donno, why?

I don't consider someone an anarchist or a leftist if they use AI as it is inherently stealing from workers.

inherently stealing from workers.

I don't consider someone who apologizes for copyright and capitalism to be an anarchist or leftist as copyright and captialist are liberal ideologies. "Anarcho-capitalism" is just libertarianism with a faux leftist flare.

You ban people for calling you a facist because you're not a facist? cognitive dissonance

If you had a community, and a guy came in and said you're a fucking Nazi and he hates your community, and no matter what you said or what you did, he kept calling you a Nazi, would you let him hang out there? Or would you kick him out and let him go rant somewhere else?

And of course, he then goes and tells everyone you'e a Nazi, because you kicked him out. But at least he's not in your community doing it. That's the scenario here.

I also think the terms “fascist” and “Nazi” are way overused on Lemmy, which weakens the meaning of words tied to genuinely horrific ideologies and atrocities. Calling someone a fascist or a Nazi just because they banned you from a Lemmy community that you dislike is a careless and bad use of those terms.

Whatever happened to just calling people assholes, dickwads, or jerks? I miss those times! I won't lose any sleep because some random angry extremist Lemmy users call me a fascist, but I'm happy to correct them when it happens.

You're a shitty fascist then? The implication that you would not ban anyone in that situation who was cussing you out with conventional insults is kinda stupid but we can blast through it. If you banned someone that cussed you out instead of labelling you then that would be fine, actually.

The truth is words like fascist have taken new meanings since the internet. It's called linguistic drift the way to resist it is to be better at using words not whining. You have authority to ban people from a forum, you use that authority to ban people that criticise you that is the extent of it.

How much of a loser would a person need to be to look at voting patterns to do pre-emptive bans?

Oh, I get it. You're just trying to be an asshole by missing the point entirely.

Yes.

Yea... I normally only lurk these posts to stock up on my PTB-list of communities and mods, but this here made me comment.

A ban because of downvotes? Seriously? Because of disaggreeing? And trying to mitigate it with "DM me and we talk"? Nah, fuck that mod and fuck that noise!

Absolutely, I am exactly like this in real life.

You missed the point entirely, that DJM's communities aren't as reflective of the culture of .Today as mine are.

I didn't avoid answering the question, I didn't feel like doing math for you.

You knew exactly what you were doing, which was bait me into a pointless argument. If I cared at all about engagement I wouldn't be making niche communities about the news.

So you did want to bait me into a ridiculous argument that has nothing to do with what I said.

Sure, that's why you had a little tantrum there. Good luck with your boredom.

You're psychotic.

lemmy.today is basically lemmy flavored maga. I wish I could block users by instance of origin so I never have to see their trash comments.

I wonder how many of the accounts constantly downvoting me are this user

Almost all of them are from today domains and it started after I dared to say they were making people be unfavorable of lemmy.today
