Ayo I'm in the screenshot letsa fucking GOOOOOOOOOO-
For context, Bungiefan_ak has no fewer than 4 alts that I've seen (all on different instances with the same username) and has spent his time on !memes@lemmy.ml continuously spamming heavily transphobic, homophobic, and objectifying sexist "memes". Just about every one of his alts is now banned but I'm sure more will pop up.
Now, why the fuck he cares so much about pirates at this point, I haven't a clue....
Yeah we banned them on reddthat 2 days ago. I'm glad to see I'm not an outlier. Initially we should a 7 day ban should suffice. But then that user decided to message the admin directly and insult them.
Probably the fastest way to get your account banned.
Edit: The message in question. 👀 (Attempted spoiler open if you dare)
Maybe he just likes to argue with people. I have 1 such classmate. His "opinions" are always just opposite to who he's talking with. But apparently outside of school he's normal.
Sadly this is just how many people operate, though I imagine the emphasis on L-D debate and convincing judges certainly contributes to our culture of engaging that way.
I love arguing with people, I'll even argue points I don't necessarily believe, but that's not the same as trolling. The difference is doing it in good faith
Trolls aren't trying to convince anyone or engage in debate, they're in it to russle jimmies, own the libs, or whatever. There's not really an intellectual aspect to it, it's arguing on emotion
Oh. Oh that makes so much more sense. His sad little idea of vengeance is to now attack anything piracy related and get dbzero ostracized from LW just because pirates have more morals than he does lol
Oh wow, he's an even bigger loser than I remember on Reddit, or maybe I just didn't trigger him at the time (maybe he would've reacted differently if I was trans or at least if it was clear to him).
Out of curiosity, just someone not supporting trans people or lgbtq are getting banned or they are taking asshole behaviour and spewing hate speech?
Edit: good fucking world. I am not against lgbtq. I am supporting it. I am a bi curious guy. I am all in for their civil rights. I was asking a question about why that guy was banned. For asshole behaviour or just having a different opinion. I don't believe just for telling someone doesn't care about lgbtq is not a reason for ban.
is "not supporting someone" your newspeak for being asshole? because i am pretty sure that any group of people doesn't give a flying fuck about you or anyone else not "supporting them", just let them be and they will be happy.
My experience is that when someone discovered they need certain civil rights but don't have them, often staring down thr barrels of police service pistols, then yes, they give all the flying fucks in the universe about being supported.
This is one of those reasons that Leopards Ate My Face is a known trope and community. Sadly, the ones who empathize already have their share of leopard teeth marked scars.
Given I and many people I know are not going to survive genocide in the US, if ever it goes full post-Wannsee, I have little patience for anyone who does not stand at least against the transnational white power movement (aka the white Christian nationalist movement). That includes even conservatives who wish the GOP would less extreme like in the Nixon and Reagan years. That train was always going to inevitably lead to the political crisis in the US, today.
you missed my point and you wrote three angry paragraphs about it, good for you! 🤣
My experience is that
my experience is that when someone tries to put inequality sign between being an asshole and "not supporting them", he is trying to make an excuse for being an asshole.
what do you even mean by "supporting them"? do you bring them food and your old clothes every sunday or something? how do you express on the internet that you "don't support" someone/something?
when i am indifferent to a topic, whatever that topic is, i don't feel the need to go on the internet and express that indifference. when i talk about something, it is either because i am for or against it. so when you are being called for being an asshole, you weren't just "not supporting them", whoever them is in the context, you were probably an asshole and now you are trying to mask it.
(to prevent further confusion - i am aware you are not the person i originally replied to, so any "you" in this text is just a figure of speech)
What I'm curious is, how did that asshole get accepted on lemmy.dbzer0 but was able to be weeded out on literature.cafe like shouldn't it have been obvious to the dbzer0 reviewer what kind of person he was from the registration form? Of coarse I'm assuming he was honest on the forms, I guess technically anyone can lie on the form and then turn around and spit in your face once accepted.
Well, there's a pretty wide spectrum in "not supporting". Can range between "cool bro, not my thing but you do you just leave me out of it", which is a rational albeit reserved response.... or you could be like Bungiefan, who spams memes calling transgender people pedophiles (multiple times).
The guy posts anti-LGBT memes everywhere. He's one of these losers that likes to use "cuck" in his comments. I'd ban on that alone. Hell, I'd ban anyone for being a Trump supporter or a tankie. Then again, that's why I'm not a mod, never was, and shouldn't be.
That would explain why he's such a snob about piracy on his Reddit subs. For context on Reddit this person (pretty sure they're the same person) banned me from a sub he moderates (I believe it was r/3dshacks) and he tried to get me banned from r/EmulationOnAndroid and also weirdly enough r/teenagers he failed at getting me banned from them by the way because those subs aren't anti-piracy bungie stans like he is, simply put they don't care.
But yeah he was a real loser, I think he got removed from most of the subs he moderated by Reddit though, and the participation in the protest has all but killed the remaining Sub.
From Allmighty powermod to a pathetic whiny troll (though I guess he still was a whiny troll before, he just seemed more respectable from the outside).
It's been happening to a lot of powermods on Reddit so probably. I should note that as far as I'm aware this guy is the only one who decided to harass lemmy for it.
Keep in mind he isn't even a mod there, he was trying to get me banned because he was under the delusion that they cared as much about Piracy as he did, they didn't end up banning me, but he did argue with me for a while, even said that Citra Devs support his harassment, before quickly trying to retract it.
The troll doesn't care, at all. It got banned clearly or it would be trolling here directly, it's retaliation. Child psychology will tell you everything you'd need to know about that "user".
that guy is the most succesfull troll in history. he single-handedly created havoc that big that russian trollfarm wouldn't have to be ashamed for and you continue to give him audience. just ban him and move on.
Since federation, a lot of libs who've never encountered a leftist opinion have been calling us russian or chinese bots for not supporting the latest imperialist adventures.
don't take me wrong, i am pretty sure i am not in the same boat with comrade who thinks that "not supporting the latest imperialist adventures" is some clever newspeak, but your comment was first time i have heard about "hexbear" - whatever that is.
If that's what you want to call it. I was just using the old-timey term to contextualize US actions in Ukraine/China/Iran/DPRK/Niger among the hundred other wars waged for the same purpose over the last couple centuries.
