He also uses the fact that he is a mod to bully people. He just holds it over the conversation at times to force it to go the way he wants.

heh, case in point.

and that right there is the problem. Lemmy is back to Reddit’s power-mod problem.

yep.

it’s probably best not to force it. Early in the Reddit migration, frequent posting kept people coming back, but you don’t want to turn it into “your” communities. Shifting to quality over quantity is never a bad move either :)

not just a bad troll, but has some messed up takes on the world.

For example, he’s against OHS. Good on Lemmy for knocking that Idiocy down to -185 or more, but still. No.

he also has a habit of replying to people without fully reading what they’ve written, creating long chains where he blames everyone else for his failings. it’s ugly.

but not in a good way.

thanks for sharing! ❤️

so, we pay more (fastpass or whatever it is) for the privilege. 😅

For months, I kept saying "I’ll only do that until my subscribe list gets good/busy enough”. It’s been months, and still isn’t good enough.

What’s a shame is that, for all of your words, you seem to know very little about WW2 and Nazi Germany. You’ve reduced it all to basically a straw man so you can win an argument no-one is making. Honestly, if I was a nazi, I’d be insulted by your reductivism. As someone against nazis, it’s insulting too.

In the end, it’s a lot of words to say you’re a) ignorant as hell and b) probably qualify as a nazi

that’s not what deflecting is… but that was.

please explain - spoken like a nazi sympathizer.

the number of people who haven’t seen Oz is too damn high.

He was, and always will be, Vernon Schillinger, the neo-nazi rapist. He was simply amazing in the role; dark as hell.

you are the yikes.

lol

mango is both retarded, and unrelatedly correct.

re: Tankies: I’m 90% sure that’s part of the inexperienced and immature crowd; they - like the vegans and the anti-renting crowd - all have super tunnel vision. Zero nuance or discussion. They fixate on one point to the exclusion of any sanity (which is heavily a spectrum symptom).

HOWEVER, I should add in my rant, there is one other odd / good thing about Lemmy: significantly higher ratio of non-Americans. More language/ communication barriers I’ve encountered from it, and they are still mostly the aforementioned groups - but hey, not 99% Americans here.

re: Asperger’s: heh, I get you. Honestly, imo: own it. Like the LGBT crowd taking the word “gay” back, I see no problem with “Aspys” reclaiming Aspergers.

Linux, vegans, anti-renting, autists (literally, not a slur); it’s a good mix of the worst of Reddit, without the racism & nazis of Reddit. The biggest longterm difference is that almost no-one on Lemmy has any skills or experience. Flying Squid is 47 and only discovered that coupons existed on the internet last month. There aren’t knowledge experts on topics like Reddit has.

Honestly, Reddit has been looking better and better. Overall, conversations are more wholesome than on Lemmy. Which is weird as fuck.

I mean, don’t get me wrong: r/conservative and plenty of places are cesspools of filth, but you can get banned from reasonable subs by posting or joining garbage subs. It’s done a lot to make things less shit.

CEO is still garbage, mods are mixed, etc.

that would be the correct, nuanced approach, yes. But that isn’t how things are on Lemmy.
