deeply grateful for your attempt to remove the struggle session from my replies ❤️😭
you are literally trying to fall on a sword for me here, and it is incredibly kind of you and so much more than I deserve
thank you for being such a gigantic sweetie pie. idk what I can ever do to repay your kindness, but please know that I will never forget this and never stop trying to make it up to you.
hardly a sword for me, I like the drama.
❤️ regardless – my gratitude is deep, and I will find a way to repay you
Kindness requires no repayment but kindness.
Maybe you could be repaid in drama? Not me though I'm chill (until otherwise)
I'm not wading into some 100+ comments thread, so I'll comment here instead:
A lot of this is because we are on some shitty Reddit clone that doesn't have a read button. I pretty much just used the upvote button as a read button on Reddit. It's something that I had to unlearn on here.
People are going to accidentally upvote stuff they shouldn't have upvoted, especially when they're on their phone. I know on Twitter, some people would just block you because you accidentally liked something they don't like. This is why I use an alt when browsing Hexbear on my phone. I don't want to be put in a situation where I get banned because my fingers accidentally upvoted something that I shouldn't have upvoted.
I'm glad you're still around. I was worried the dunk tank drama had chased you off the site.
Can't speak for anyone who might have taken it the wrong way (your upvotes, though who among us hasn't done similar once...?) but I have infinite love and respect for comrades who better themselves, let alone fess up publicly to it which must be a hell of a thing and I don't think anyone was even asking for.
Maybe some might not be cool with it (no one's spoken up as such yet I think?) but as a broader space and community in general I think this is an important and wonderful thing (where it can be afforded- and in the circumstances it certainly could be far, far more than afforded IMO). We all have to start somewhere (as someone who was raised pretty much a chud, who has fucked up really badly before and learnt better, etc etc...).
Big agree.
When something like that comment gets 17 upvotes, some people expect the mods to address it in a bigger way than simple removal.
I think messaging each user would’ve been ideal, but a 24 hour ban is a slap on the wrist and I don’t think anybody holds it against otherwise non-reactionary users.
