Disagreeing with your naivity is not the same as agreeing with everyone else who disagrees with you.

Heh, maybe?

Now you’re just making up shit that I supposedly believe. The far more likely explanation for them doing this is “whatever reason they have at the time for not liking someone”.

Believing without questioning some shit you read on the Internet is the last thing I would call rational

Guessing you checked the list for your name again right before posting this lol

Why would you believe that reasoning? This guy is your friend or something?

What is this reference? I keep seeing it but I don’t have the context for it

I very obviously did not stand up for zionists, I mocked someone for being eager to label someone else a Zionist (I assumed incorrectly) and ya know what, I actually second guessed that and thought maybe they were right. Then you come along and insult me for actually being right about you? I don’t know where you’re getting that and it is definitely not worth the effort for me to try after this interaction.

So let’s get this straight, they called you a Zionist, I stood up for you, then you called me an idiot. Cool beans.

Edit: on the other hand you were nice to the person who baselessly called you a Zionist. So you’re exactly the kind of person I was criticizing. A weirdo who lobs that accusation without any hesitation.

It was a lot of different ways of claiming these are users that would “scare off normal people”. But I’ve seen several users comment that they were on the blocklist but barely ever comment or say anything controversial and I tend to believe them. Also a lot of the regexes were pretty random. Some are strict perfect matches while others randomly allow digits to follow the username, which was the case with mine.

I’ve only seen like 1 dude doing that

I’m not sure “sane” is the best word for us generally 😂

But I get your point and agree with it

This is the correct take, and I kinda hate many things AI is doing.

I don’t really have a reason to hate something I’ve never used and never cared about at all until I saw I was weirdly targeted by it. I think it’s a bizarre curiosity that attempted to make the fediverse “better” but made it worse. But I’m guessing not that many people as a percentage used it. And now it’s been deleted so it’s overall barely a blip.

Not sure but imo a great frontend would work w/o js but work smoother with it. Progressive enhancement used to be a thing…

So typical of a captian* account.

Did you read his statement on this topic? He had a whole host of reasons and not all of the blocklist can be explained by them imo

Well imo, on lemmy anyhow, they do get a million times more recognition. Everyone is in the cult of Mint, which is one of the few I tried briefly and actively did not like it.

Hmm alright. I too dislike some things about Ubuntu but on the other hand you cannot blame people (myself included) who either have tried other distros and had support issues and came back to Ubuntu based, or those who just want the easier route to begin with. Ubuntu-based seems to be a good compromise for many. I’ve also used arch and fedora and had more headaches and breakages on those. Also I literally have a laptop that gets supported on Ubuntu so it makes life easier all around. Fuck some of the things canonical does but I just do not want to spend time with things like fixing my wifi connection after running pacman -S install or whatever that command is.
