MODERATORS
Your continued harassment of people in leftist spaces and ongoing astroturfing implies you care very deeply. I can’t imagine why you would hang around places you’re not welcome, if you didn’t care.
It's not "harassment" to disagree, even disagree in a pointed fashion.
Like if someone came onto lemmy.world and made a joke about how bad the moderation is, that's not "harassment." That's just them speaking their mind. In any reasonable space that kind of thing is allowed. I know that on lemmy.ml, it is sometimes not. Maybe in this case it is not? I don't know. Maybe it is, let's see.
I'm well aware that lemmy.ml as a community doesn't tolerate being spoken to in such a disobedient fashion or criticized. I think that's silly. My comment was sincerely not badly intended, just more along the lines of "wake up you guys are being ridiculous" (both about the screaming intoleration of anyone in American politics who seems like they might be poised to make some kind of progress, and also now about the defensive hivemind behavior that gets all bent out of shape about anyone who disagrees with the herd about that or various other issues).
Up to you man. It was meant as a one-off comment, but of course in standard lemmy.ml fashion now we have to have a big conversation about it where you continue to comment hostility to try to discourage anyone from speaking their mind about that kind of thing in the future. The purpose is to silence dissent. I probably won't really go back and forth about it (what even would be the point?), but that's my intent in making these comments. If I was trying to harass I would probably come to .ml more often, but I don't, I only found this one because it was a crosspost.
Is this still you trying to act nonchalant, or are you switching modes now?
I can’t stop you from continuing to be an ass and pushing establishment propaganda. You can’t stop me from pointing out how that’s obliterated your credibility on this platform. Works both ways, but it seems like weird way to spend your time trying to act like you’re a voice of reason in front of an audience you’ve already embarrassed yourself in front of many times.
I still remember when you claimed with a straight face that Israel was using nuclear weapons in Syria, and the only reason I didn't know about it was because I was confused by Western propaganda.

You're probably right that as far as the present community's viewpoint, I am "embarrassing myself" and you are "pointing out" things and so on. That's because the present community's viewpoint is detached from reality and based on groupthink, confident presentations, and hostility to outsiders and not much else.
You guys are welcome to your "community," I guess. I've made the point and then belabored it a little bit, I don't see the point in a continued back and forth so I won't waste more time.
See how there’s a link to an article in that comment? I didn’t claim shit. ‘It’s being reported’ is not a personal claim.
I would love to believe you’re done pushing propaganda in leftist spaces on here, but I’m positive that’s just more bullshit.
