Looks like I struck a nerve! Go on, keep making a fool of yourself, it’s quite entertaining :P

Well, you utterly failed at doing so, didn’t proofread your insult, and made a fool of yourself. Great job!

Gratitude hasn’t killed any billionaires or shareholders, nor is it bringing down costs or stopping the rise of fascism right now.

Oh come on, at least spell it correctly if you’re gonna try and insult someone’s intelligence.

Plastic surgery in particular can become straight up addictive to some people with body image issues. As an example, it led Pete Burns of the band Dead or Alive to have over 300 surgeries, some of which were botched and led to severe health issues. He still kept doing it right up until his death.

Why on earth would I go to Hexbear when I’ve already made it pretty clear I have a strong distaste for .ml? Hexbear is full of the very same pro-authoritarian types and that instance has an awful reputation for brigading and harassing communities. I’ve seen this myself the numerous times they attempted to federate with other instances, my own included. No thanks.

The fact they don’t list dissent or criticism of China/Russia as being bannable in the rules is one of the bigger problems. They will just ban you for Rule 1 or 2, neither of which have anything to do with that and leaving banned users scratching their heads wondering what they did wrong. Meanwhile to the other .mls, it just looks like the devs banned someone for a “legitimate” reason because the devs will leave a comment painting the banned user’s comment in that light.

Example: User “BillyBobJones” expresses a dislike of China’s genocide of the Uyghur Muslims. Dessalines or Davel will quickly ban BillyBobJones under Rule 1 or 2 for, say, “racism”. Then they will leave a comment under the deleted comment accusing BillyBob of saying something racist and saying that’s why BillyBob was banned. Unless an .ml user bothers to check the modlogs, they won’t know what BillyBob actually said and will praise Dessalines/Davel for removing a racist. Dissenter removed, echo chamber reinforced.

The instance admins of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml, who are also the developers of Lemmy, have a wide variety of harmful views including genocide denial, transphobia, and support for authoritarian regimes. They are incredibly ban-happy and spend an unreasonable amount of time removing dissenting opinion from their communities instead of developing the platform. They’ve got a bunch of people in a complete echo chamber where saying anything critical about their favourite regimes earns you a ban despite there being no rules against it. Their users tend to also be the genocide denying, authoritarian bootlicking type.

I’m Canadian lmao, you couldn’t tell by my instance?

Speak for yourself. Russia is directly involved in the current disaster that is the U.S. government. Meddling with and destabilizing their enemies has been their primary tactic for decades.

Jolly Roger Bay in VR is all fun and games 'til you come face-to-face with that giant eel.

When he sold Minecraft to Microsoft he became a billionaire, quickly lost touch of reality, and fell down the right-wing pipeline to become a total shithead. He kept posting homophobic comments on Twitter, called for a heterosexual pride parade and suggested anyone opposed to one should be shot, and bought into the whole QAnon nonsense. There is a reason Minecraft hardly acknowledges his existence anymore, Mojang distanced themselves from him because of his behaviour.

Is it really a scavenger hunt to open Steam, open the store, and search for the game? It takes minimal effort…

The job of a CEO is to make the line go up, and that almost always comes at the expense of the consumer and the quality of the product itself.

Yeah, that tracks. It’s a lot easier to be a dick on the internet than to be a dick to someone face to face where there might be actual consequences. I’m sure you’re a very pleasant and not at all toxic person. Definitely.

That’s unhealthy. It makes you an unpleasant person to be around, and I hope you don’t treat people in person the way you’ve treated people here.

I’m sorry that you’re having such a bad day that you feel that you need to take it out on other people with such aggression. Perhaps you should go for a walk and clear your head.

That’s weirdly aggro for something it’d take you, like, 2 minutes at most to look up and find for yourself. You don’t need to rely on OP or anyone else to do it for you.

Reading the article is for libtards, the headline is all I need!

I seen that all the time.
