I love Lemmy (slrpnk.net)
submitted 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) by countrypunk@slrpnk.net to c/fediverse@lemmy.world
 

It's brought me joy in life and I've learned so many new things. How cool is it that we get to enjoy all of this cool stuff for free (as in cost) and free (as in freedom)?

That is all. Hope everyone has a nice day.

dbzer0, actually. I literally just had a recent encounter with the admin Flatworm/Unruffled where they decided to needlessly pick a fight. They were backed up by other dbzer0 users, including @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com, in fact.

For context

The whole thing is quite large for a temporary 7 days ban, but the reported person is a prolific poster, so a lot of people had comments to make.

On the other hand the voting / flair system implemented on dbzer0 is quite unique, in a positive way https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/49093780

The real context is that I was merely disagreeing with db0 being chill based on my own experience. Flatworm/Unruffled and Eugene then busted in being rude as hell for just disagreeing. You supported that behavior.

The first link refers to that exchange indeed. Everyone can interpret that conversation on their own.

What other interpretation could there even be?

My comment made no claims regarding the user from the main post or actions against them, it was only in regard to the claim about db0. That's why I explained that the only context has to do with that first comment thread.

I was not rude at all, just that I disagreed. Why does that mean it's okay for those two to jump in to rudely make false claims?

Other interpretation: you and db0 admins have had disagreements in the past:

Those disagreements are what alter your perception of the instance, which is why they mention them.

Edit: I don't care about pro or anti-AI, but this seems to be the new division point around here

The interpretation of those two jumping in to be rude as hell is not exclusive from acknowledging disagreements in the past. Particularly in that is already implied with my original comment there as I referenced my experience.

There was absolutely no reason for those two to act that way there, even if their intention was to attempt to point out that they think I was in the wrong in the previous encounters. "I think you were the one in the wrong at those times you're referring to." Or something along those lines accomplishes the same goal without being an asshole or making clearly false claims.

Ironically, their choice to be such assholes in that circumstance adds quite a bit of evidence that the dbzer0 people were the ones in the wrong.

-- Edit --
Actually, your links provide proof of the lies as well. That was when I blocked the dbzer0 instance, as I mentioned in those threads, and that was 3 months ago. So, how could I have been "constantly trolling in [dbzer0's] comms" as Flatworm/Unruffled claimed? That's exactly the kind of shit that I'm talking about. These admins, as well as some mods and users, are willing to straight up lie. And since they are admins, users have a tendency to just believe them and not even bother looking into things themselves.

I thought the division point was zero? lol.
Should it be lemmy.dba1.com now?
