Come on. This is just insulting.
Why aren’t you posting all the Harris articles if you don’t care? Or just cat memes? Nobody is buying your ‘just asking questions’ shtick. This is why you were banned for sea-lioning.
I don’t believe you’re as old as you say. You act like a 23 year-old libertarian who’s just learning philosophy, with a rudimentary understanding and just enough edge to cut cheese. The more you talk, the less serious you sound.
I really hope you’re in your early 20s, because otherwise this is embarrassing.
I was banned 3 days for sealioning, that is correct. I disagree with the mods reasoning, but this is their community, their rules, so I am fine with it.
But you know what I realized during those three days? There are a lot of other Lemmy communities where people are open about voting third party. Cool, right?!
I ended up spending my time posting and chatting with like-minded folks, and it was actually fun! My voice wasn’t silenced at all—I just found bigger audiences who appreciated the same articles and wanted real discussions.
Not everyone thinks like you. And that’s ok.
You are free to believe whatever you would like. I don’t have to explain anything more to you. Thank you!
So why did you come back here, where people are rational?
Again, if you truly believe that 3rd parties need a place at the table (and for the record, I truly believe they do), you should be pushing people to support FairVote Action, not Jill Stein.
Considering your nearly inhuman posting frequency, you could be an effective agent for actual change. So why are you wasting your time doing this instead of using your considerable free time to actually make a difference?
So why did you come back here, where people are rational?
I think most people on Lemmy are rational.
Again, I’m not voting for Jill Stein. My “nearly inhuman posting frequency” as in me replying to you replying to me. I mean, you are having pretty inhuman posting frequency right now. OMG we are inhumans! Awesome!
Thank you for the compliments, friend!
This poster disagrees that it was guilty of Sealioning. That’s amusing.
Dear reader, let’s look at what Sealioning is.
In short, it’s a form of trolling. Sealioning is defined specifically by the following characteristics:
- A faux veneer of civility. That’s because the troll wants to play victim when others lose their sense of civility dealing with said troll.
- Persistence. Another poster here points out how often this poster posts, and it comes out to once every 18 minutes, every hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. A Sealion tries to erode one’s sense of goodwill and decorum by constantly hounding people that disagree with it,
- A fake attempt to appear to be trying to educate oneself or others.
Sealioning isn’t an exact match for this poster’s behaviour, but it’s damn close. Little petty grammar and spelling nazi comments. Intruding into other people’s DMs without permission. Constantly hiding behind the community rules. Using and abusing the fuck out of laws of civility and this community, while having zero intention to do anything but be disruptive, annoying, insulting, condescending, and otherwise just plain unpleasant, secure in the knowledge that we can’t call it out for what it is because the Mods have handcuffed us with these silly ‘be civil’ rules.
The mods have actually tagged this poster with a three day timeout for being a troll. I don’t think that gives me permission to carte blanc call this poster a troll, but I can at least point out every time I see it pushing its latest nonsense that the moderator team here has suspended its access for 3 days for trolling. We’ll see if the mods let that stay up. Given the nonsense that the mods have let stay up for the person they put in time out for being a troll, I hope it will. Kind of like calling out a convicted thief as a thief, or a convicted fraudster as a fraudster. Just with a silly extra step because we wouldn’t want to be uncivil to someone who is wanting to be uncivil to us.
The modlog is public: https://lemmy.world/modlog/1252
My posts do NOT come out every 18 minutes, 24 hours a day. That’s 100 percent false. You can just look at the time stamps and see that’s false. The time frames mentioned are averages, not actual posting intervals. It’s not literal, friend.
And as you just mentioned, the mods banned me for 3 days. I’ve had comments removed when they thought I went too far, just as you have had. So no, I don’t get any preferential treatment from them, nor have I ever asked. No one is “handcuffed” when it comes to speaking out against me.
@jordanlund@lemmy.world would you like to jump in and address his concerns regarding the modding activity of this community?
