Amazeballs!

Keep 'em coming.

People are constantly misunderstanding satire. I had someone report you just for your profile bio, which is low key hilarious.

A bit of an oldie, but still pertinent.

Fuck off with this critical support bullshit. There is a constant stream of posts (legitimately) criticizing the US on Lemmy generally, and even on .lw. But in contrast, almost every post critical of any anti-American State gets removed for "bigotry" on .ml. According to their moderation practices, no criticism of these states can be valid, because they are fighting US imperialism. It doesn't matter to .ml than many of these states are aspiring imperialists themselves (e.g. Russia) or genocidal religious theocracies (.e.g. Iran) or oppressive authoritarian regimes (China). That's the issue here, not that @cm0002@lemmy.world hasn't personally called out the US in this thread. Trying to "both sides" this is completely disingenuous.

Sure, but the end result is the same - i.e., it looks spammy even if unintended.

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago

All the links are directed to social.heise.de, so it's definitely got spammy characteristics imo, even if it's not commercial spam. While awareness raising about federation functionality is probably fine, it's also presumably meant to direct traffic to that specific instance, which is arguably a form of advertising.

Yeah man, it's a great community for spreading awareness :)

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Glad you're feeling better, buddy.

BPR if you were aware of the instance and its reputation. PTB otherwise. Getting a ban from ML for this sort of thing is a something of a right of passage I think lol.

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

lmao here, spermaceti.

Community rule 1. Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).

Yep, you are technically correct. But the admin OP is talking about has a totally unhinged opinion on this topic imo, so it's (maybe?) still worth discussing/exposing. I mean, people living outside the US aren't "jealous" of modern day 'Murica... they are (mostly) appalled by it. Is this not common knowledge in the US for some reason? :p

Lol at 99 and Dexter is on the edge of SLU and heading into downtown for a lotta commuters. I've lived a few places and Seattle is my favorite because it made me uncomfortable enough to ask myself questions I wasn't sure I'd like the answers to. It's made me a better person. Love this city.
