I’m not a troll, I just call other people out for their BS.
I think most of lemmy.today is bad faith astroturfing.
This is not the first time !PapaSkwat@lemmy.today has preemptively banned me from a community I’m pretty sure I’ve never interacted with.
This is a warning for others. Do not assume posts on Lemmy.today are real or in good faith.
Here is a related post with similar circumstances.


Oh, I get it. You’re just trying to be an asshole by missing the point entirely.
Do you think you’re coming across well here?
Yes.
I asked you how big the communities you moderate are, you avoided answering the question.
When I suggested the communities you moderate aren’t particularly big, which is true, you called me an arsehole.
Would you act this way if you were talking to someone in real life?
Absolutely, I am exactly like this in real life.
You missed the point entirely, that DJM’s communities aren’t as reflective of the culture of .Today as mine are.
I didn’t avoid answering the question, I didn’t feel like doing math for you.
You knew exactly what you were doing, which was bait me into a pointless argument. If I cared at all about engagement I wouldn’t be making niche communities about the news.
If you didn’t care how popular your communities were, you wouldn’t have said you:
So I think you’re lying about not caring about engagement.
I also think you’re lying about being like this in real life. I suspect that off the internet you’re pleasant, which is perhaps why you’re acting like this safely hidden behind your keyboard.
Be kinder. Not for other people, but for your own well being. Negativity breeds negativity.
So you did want to bait me into a ridiculous argument that has nothing to do with what I said.
No. I wanted to know how big the communities you moderate were. That quite clearly hit a nerve.
I hope you have a better day.
Sure, that’s why you had a little tantrum there. Good luck with your boredom.
