Magnitude always matters.

And every single riot scene in that show is amazing. I think my favorite was the cafeteria riot tho.

I had a biopsych professor who started most classes with:

Normal gets said a lot, it’s the average range most people are for that very specific thing. None of us are completely normal, and if anyone was they’d probably be the most unique person on the planet

Great message, a tad over dramatic, and definitely got repetitive quick.

But it’s important to remember none of us really think the same, and there isn’t really a “normal” like people usually think of.

If we weren’t all so different, it wouldn’t be so notable when we vibe with someone.

Like damn near everything else it’s not binary.

It’s not like everyone without it is the same, and everyone with is the same.

So for some people, it’s just normal human variation. For some people it’s a disorder.

If I ate an apple everyday, that’s kind of a lot but normal human variation

If I ate 10 apples a day and that’s all I ever eat, it’s a disorder.

Likewise ADHD can be normal variation or a disorder. Because magnitude matters and almost nothing is truly binary.

but some folks I put tags on just to see where they pop up.

So years ago on /buyitforlife, someone posted those super cheap work gloves that you’d legit got thru a pair before and after lunch. That’s why they never sold single pairs and you had to buy like a 10 pack.

Dude gets roasted in the comments, but I RES tagged him “ole softhands” and for years after I’d just randomly see the account somewhere and genuinely laugh out loud.

I don’t know why people want to have the same arguments with the same people, over and over again knowing it’ll never be productive.

For them social media is just a pvp arguing arena.

I don’t have the energy for that, if someone just doesn’t get something after 3-5 replies I stop replying, if it keeps happening elsewhere or they act like a dick, I just block them.

Why waste your time on something that you know is only going to fail and likely cause yourself aggravation?

On December 1, the situation, somehow, worsened when Kanye appeared on The Alex Jones Show. Over the course of the broadcast, he repeatedly praised Hitler and the Nazi party, insisting that he “loves” Nazis and “likes” Hitler, and at one point blatantly declaring, “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world.” His remarks placed Jones in the rare position of attempting to help Kanye walk back his extremism by reminding him that Nazis “did a lot of very bad things.”

“But they did good things, too,” Ye responded. “We’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all of the time.”

That was in the morning. By evening, Ye had been indefinitely suspended from Twitter for posting an image of a Nazi swastika inside of a Star of David.

What’s weird is it’s always the accounts with no activity making these complaints…

Including this thread, OP has made 4 posts and 20 some comments over the last year.

So they blocked new accounts from Israel and Palestine, and the headline just mentions Israel?

Sounds about normal…

They probably thought you meant something different than what you actually meant.

…

You think they do an annual review of threads?

It was over a year ago I made the comment, they banned me for it five days ago.

I don’t know man, it’s weird you’re not getting that, but it doesn’t really matter.

I’m sorry if I’m explaining it poorly.

I did remember it wasn’t I blocked a mod, I explained why I might not respond. And apparently they didn’t like that I had blocked their instance

Weird, maybe because I looked at world’s modlog and not theirs like you seem to have done.

I clicked on the link, it was a comment from literally a year ago lol.

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844

I blocked the mod of that sub about a week ago, so they likely went and saw my last comment there and banned me for it.

Like I said tho, I’m perfectly fine with it. I blocked their whole instance a long time ago, I think it might have actually been that thread that clued me in it wasn’t worth ever going there again.

Thanks for finding that tho! I’ll remember to check an instance’s own modlog in the future for more details.

Quick edit:

(which your agreement to could be seen as agreement with trans-segrigation in sports).

Nah, I was explaining how the only way to get better at chess is to play better people, and there’s no reason for any classes based around gender. And the explanation for difference in skill, is simply that the best men refused to play women, so they never improved. The first female grand master was only that good because her dad was crazy good and made her and her sister play him constantly.

You need the experience of high level play to be able to play at a high level, and any gender divide in division just prolongs that. So I was arguing against any segregation at all.

That’s why they let it stay up a year until I blocked the mod of that community.

And suddenly it was transphobic.

A “tankie” isn’t the same as a communist.

A “tankie” is someone that takes China’s side (the tanks) in that famous picture of Tiananmen square.

Being a “tankie” is using communism as a facade for authoritarian governments where a small group of “upper party members” are essentially oligarchs.

Nah, I replied to OP and they deleted the comment.

Maybe that looks weird on some federated instances or apps tho.

If it looks like I’m replying to someone else, that would explain the down votes.

OPs post gets reposted pretty frequently, always by new accounts which tend to disappear a day or two later after some lazy posts.

I really do think it’s the same person who’s bans are in the screenshots.

It’s too random that a bunch of brand new accounts all find the post and quote it with perfectly formatting including all the pictures just to repost it the same place they found it.

Especially since the new account always claims they’re “helping new users” like they’ve been here forever.

They seem more like nationalists who coopted socialism/communism to white wash what they actually support and overlooking the elite ruling class that they are not a part of.

…

Yes…

They’re defenders of USSR and China…

So obviously they’re not going to actually be socialis/communist.

The problem is when capitalists lump actuall socialists/communists with the fake ones.

On the other hand, I’ve blocked both those instances months ago and it’s been great.

Strangely I did notice I got banned from a blahaj community like a week ago despite not commenting there for at least 6 months, maybe ever?

Which is kind of the whole point of me blocking them

Both have mods/admins that are very very opinionated about things. And they tend to refuse to let things go (much like OP or you making that sub)

So if they see something they dont agree with, they’ll pre-emptively ban an account, because, and this is doubly important right here:

It’s trolls feeding trolls drama in a big loop

You making that sub, OP making this post…

All you’re doing is encouraging them

Can you really not understand?

I’ll try and remember to come back and check if you respond, but I don’t get notifications from instances I’ve blocked.

Edit:

I was banned five days ago apparently for this comment from a year ago:

https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844

Definitely not because I blocked that mod five days ago and they desperately found a way to “get back”.

Great example of my point tho, silly instances like that there’s no point in fighting them, just block their instance and go about your life.

but that doesn’t block those users on them to be fair. That has to be done individually.

It blocks notifications of replies.

Sometimes I’ll notice a .ml responded to me, and if they seem decent I’ll reply back. But I’ll never get a notification and that’s almost always as far as it goes.

Which is fine. Lots of people can make one civil comment to rope someone in a conversation.

just advising new users to watch where they are active; I

Your profile has 10 posts/comments and has been around for a week…

Are you the original OP who just keeps making new accounts to spam this?

Or do you think 10 posts/comments over a week means you understand Lemmy and should reach out to teach “new users”?

World is kind of the vanilla instance.

Just.works is a “free speech” instance, I never see many communities hosted there, but a large amount of trolls make accounts there because just.works is unlikely to nuke an account.

Yeah, a little suspect OP’s account is a week old with barely double digit posts/comments if you combine them and most are from this post…

I’m guessing their favorite (of many) accounts got blocked by .ml, so now they don’t want anyone going there.

I don’t get the .ml drama tho, never have. I realized it was a silly place long ago, so I blocked the whole instance.

I did the same for a couple others. It takes like two seconds.

Who cares if it has bigger communities than others? If that’s all I cared about I’d still be on Reddit

I think a lot or people (like OP) can’t drop this mindset because they’re not on the fediverse willinging. It’s probably the only social media site where IP bans aren’t a thing. So people IP banned from the big ones, are gonna trickle down here and do dumb drama hunting shit like OP.

Yeah, OP has made this post and one other comment…

They could have posted anything else and been the change they wanted, now they’ll get notifications from people talking about the one thing they dislike enough to make a post?

I’ll never understand the logic behind that shit, the last post was 13 hours ago, just make a different post instead of one complaining about every other posts.

It’s the same thing Brazil did.

He’s rich enough that he’s kind of a parent corporation by himself, so:

X was previously accused of violating the Digital Services Act (DSA), which could result in fines of up to 6 percent of total worldwide annual turnover. That fine would be levied on the “provider” of X, which could be defined to include other Musk-led firms.

But yeah, American law has been limited so the buck stops at the company which declares bankruptcy and the money starts a new company.

Not everyone else system is as shitty
