I discovered that I was banned from !ukraine@sopuli.xyz for being a “known detriment to the community,” despite never having posted there or even knowing about the community.
A similar situation occurred with !PleasantPolitics@slrpnk.net. This community uses a bot that bans people based on their downvote history, regardless of whether they’ve actually visited the community.
This policy from !PleasantPolitics@slrpnk.net actually caused me some trouble. After moving to a new instance, I stumbled upon this community and decided to post there. The owner then initiated a thread to have me banned across the federation for “ban evasion,” even though I was unaware of any prior ban and had only just learned of the community.
This owner has implemented a bot that automatically bans individuals, only to potentially unban them depending on their upvote/downvote ratio, without considering their actual involvement in the community.
As you might guess, his moderation log is a constant stream of bans, which is quite amusing.
While I’m not usually one for pettiness, I think I would like to return the favor to those mods and pre-ban them from my communities.
However, I’m not sure how to go about doing this. Any tips?
Exactly. And I am not ever gonna feel sorry for someone who fell for the magic trick. It’s sooo outrageous and so out there, that if they are gullible enough to fall for religion, then they actually should be in a place like that so they can be protected from the real world.
I don’t buy the excuse of “I was brainwashed” or “but but my family forced me.” blah blah blah. Fuck that noise.
I grew up in poverty in a small midwestern town. My entire family history was Baptist. Church every Sunday. Of course they tried to have me go that route.
At 8 years old. Yes EIGHT, I realised it was all bullshit. I kept going because of games and the friends I had there were cool.
At 10 I admitted to my parents that not only didn’t I believe any of it, but that I had been faking it for 2 years. By then tho, I sorta started to notice girls. So I kept going. Always the class clown in sunday school class.
Parents continually disappointed. I didn’t care then. Don’t care now.
Got my gf knocked up when I was 17. Moved out of the house, into a new town with her, started working, did my thing.
Parents remained disappointed. I didn’t care then. Don’t care now.
In fact, for shits and grins, when I got baptized into the LDS (Mormon) church 3 years ago, I put it on my facebook page. There is only one thing Baptists hate as much as they hate Satan–and that’s a Mormon.
The shock and sad emojis were glorious.
Parents still disappointed. I don’t care.
I do what I want. When I want. Where I want. I’m retired now at 55 yrs old. I give zero fucks what anybody thinks. That goes for family and people on the interwebs.
Tho watching people rage at me on Lemmy for no reason other than the fact that I post Trump news is pretty entertaining.
Thanks, friend!
Matey, I’m not here to put people down or be rude, mean, or hurtful, but man… it does seem like you got some issues to work out.
I have no issues, friend. I don’t take any of this seriously. And I’m surprised at how many here do!! Lol
Don’t mistake my lack of brevity for seriousness. I mean, yeah, that post is true. But none of this shit is even close to really bothering me.
Thanks, mate!
