I swear, every time most of the time I see someone being particularly rude, ignorant, and inappropriate on a post (usually political in origin, or they swing it to being political) I click on their profile and see it has been created that same day.

They are only there to sow discord. Only to piss people off. Idk if we can just report them (for what?) but I’d like to try exposing them before responding and interacting…

I am guilty of gobbling up the bait. I’ve started looking at profiles of people that piss me off exceptionally and noticed they’re burner bot loser accounts.

I guess i just want to say I’ve noticed it!

    Is reddit as censored as the fediverse?

    Lemmy and mastodon are quite useless.

    You can have the same core views as someone on lemmy and mastodon but if you point out a hypocritical post you will get blocked or your post removed. Being a hateful hypocritical person is okay but if you point out someone else doing it its not okay. A loop of hypocrisy.

        It is? I’m not a big social media person so I don’t know. I do know, that I’ve seen highly opposing view points for touchy topics on reddit many times and those posts get many up or down votes. Sometimes I see a post is locked from further discussion etc, but the posts are still there allowing everyone to see all view points.

        But on mastadon/ lemmy all I’ve seen so far are hateful hypocrites who instantly block/ban/remove your post etc. If you fully agree with someone, except for the hypocritical part of there post and you echo that back to them, blocked/post removed.

          Wonder what you said three hours ago to get banned from the Dunk Tank. You’re really lucky the modlog doesn’t elaborate on what it was, or I’d post the receipt here.

            The person who makes Hyperland was blacklisted by freedesktop (Linux stuff) over saying something transphobic as far as I understand from a glance.

            They made a post in response in which they said ‘This other person threatened to sexually assault people as revenge for something small. I’m not the only person deserving of shame’. I’m sure there’s more to this story, I don’t care.

            A hexbear user in response to this story wrote there’s a false equivalence between a trans person calling for violence in a hyperbolic tweet and this app developer using their platform to spread anti-trans hate. I think, again, I do not care about the actual story, Fictitiousexistence’s comment doesn’t need context to be bad.

            @fictitiousexistence@lemmy.ml replied with:

            This leads me to believe that anyone who disagrees with Lyude is a Transexual Nobeards shithead.

              Yeah nah, fuck that guy then. All the modlog had was that he’d got banned; but the comment didn’t have a removal message in the modlog, so I didn’t see that-- that’s fuckin gross.

      In my experience, Lemmy is not as censored as Reddit

      You can disagree here, as long as you keep it civil, all is good

          Lmao. I went 14 years on Reddit without getting a single site ban, and barely lasted 14 days on ml

          Not a metric but ok

          Rest of keyboard diarrhea

          Again, not what you say but how you say it

          I’m sure this will get me another one.

          Sounds like you are proud of them …

          I think that one is better off not discussing these topics online at all.

          I have never seen anything good come out of it, anywhere. Ever

      i have only ever had one post of mine be deleted, and that was a post talking about suicide. I don’t exactly agree with the deletion, but hey i don’t make the rules, it’s their community.
