What the hell is this news outlet? No matter how badly someone messed up, media should always refrain from using words like scabby or loser behavior.

Edit: I should make it clear that I do not object to anyone calling him a scabby person. It's just that news outlets should never do this.

that shit just shouldn't be here

Yes, I agree. Maybe my wording suggested otherwise. But my point was that it wouldn't be the uploader that's punished but the instance itself. That's kinda weird.

It's honestly sad that some well-intentioned laws can be used to attack online platforms.

I didn't know what that was until I just looked it up, so, no. I named myself after the Python function random.randint.

the three main problematic authoritarian instances

what kind of mentality is this? "I'm being hostile to you because you deserve it."

Thanks. I am aware of the George Floyd incident and the numerous others African-Americans killed for no good reason.

Yes, in hindsight, calling that genocide with no real evidence of direct killing is a bit too much. But the report I linked to mentioned coercive birth control and internment or imprisonment for violations of the family planning policy (page 35). While that indeed is not genocide per se, it does seem to bring what China is doing one step toward that direction.

I was going to agree with you until I notice you used the word "fee-fees."

I was trying to use different terms for the same thing so that my post does not become boring to read.

Thank you. You are among one of the nobler Hexbears. I will take your advice.

[–] randint@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

I admit, I did say that. But that was after being insulted by numerous Hexbear users. Also, I did not use insults towards them (unlike them who used insults liberally).

Thank you, dear admin, for your timely and thoughtful reply.

This post seems even more likely to devolve into the same kind of attacks.

Yes, I completely agree. In fact, it seems like there are already signs of that happening.

OP: Please always report comments that harass you

Thank you. I will.

I know that walking away from an argument is extremely difficult, but in the threads you linked, there is an irreconcilable disagreement about which sources can be trusted

Irreconcilable indeed. I have learned my lesson from several fruitless arguments with them.

While I know there isn’t a consensus on this topic among lemm.ee users, I personally don’t think defederation is the correct approach

I see. I respect your decision.

the way some people casually throw around the insult “nazi” is completely ridiculous (and I don’t just mean hexbear users here)

Yeah! They are the ones diminishing the word nazi.
