        I think we’ve all been conditioned to clutch pearls at the news like this.

        But ironically Trump has removed any and all decorum. Even when he was shot, people gave no shits, because he’s a piece of shit that gives no shits.

        So here we are. There’s still some that want to “virtue signal” because violence and hate is never the answer! Meanwhile people are being ground into desperation, so your pearl clutching can get fucked.

      And the sense of entitlement people on a FREE WEBSITE is ridiculous. How many of the people complaining about .world censorship help pay for the sever?

        The positions you take lately, and the arguments you make lately are increasingly disappointing.

        No one owes .world anything… If those in control make questionable decisions, they are going to be called out regardless of aggressive moderation, it’s all federated, kinda the point.

        “Can’t take he heat, get out of the kitchen…” and all that jazz…

          I’m not defending anything. I’m accusing a bunch of people who think they’re owed something on a free website of being children with a massive sense of entitlement.

              Because you do not have a right to not be censored. And since you’ve decided to insult rather than argue, I think there’s no need to continue this discussion.

              And yes, I’m aware my brain, and the rest of me, is trash. I don’t know why people have to constantly tell me I’m inferior to them when I’m already aware of it. It’s like people who tell fat people they’re fat.

              Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

        I don’t pay for .world nor it’s micromanaging moderators and admins. Never have, never would for such a place.

        Next time I get a bit of extra cash I will donate to my instance however.

          And if you’re posting there and bitching about it, that’s your problem, not .world’s.

          No one is forcing you to post there and no one is under any obligation to do what you want in terms of server rules. Sorry, .world is not there to cater to you or anyone else in specific. If your instance has different rules, post there and don’t bitch about the ones in .world.

            And no one is forcing you to reply. We will post wherever we want, and bitch about whatever we want, anywhere we want. You seem to feel like you actually are .world, so go ahead and ban everyone who doesn’t bow down to arbitrary garbage. No wonder no one ever has anything positive to say about you squid, it sucks to suck. Be better.

              I see, so you can post and bitch whenever you want, but I’m not allowed to.

              Why am I different?

              And if I’m not different, why are you complaining about me bitching about what I want?

                Who says you’re not allowed to? Regular users don’t have the ability to ban you. But you have the ability to ban users, an ability you abuse regularly with what looks like a pitiable “I am the king of .world” god complex. It’s sad that you seem to lack the bandwidth to understand how you as a mod are different to regular users. But it explains a lot.

                  So I have a “god complex,” but I also have more power than regular users and that makes me different from them.

                  That seems contradictory.

                  But please do find an example within, say, the last month where I banned someone for doing anything other than violating stated rules in the sidebar or Lemmy ToS. Go for it. This will be like the guy in another thread yesterday who claimed repeatedly that I’m a Zionist and when I asked them to find one single comment where I said anything where I supported Israel they said they were done talking to me.

                  So good luck proving your lie too.

                  Also, you sure implied I wasn’t allowed to bitch. Did you forget your last comment?

                    Isn’t it odd how people in random threads repeatedly seem to not like you, because of your moderating? To a degree that your name pops up anytime someone wants an example of a shitty mod? If everyone you meet is an asshole, perhaps you’re the asshole? But no, it’s not you that’s out of touch, it’s the children who are wrong.
