thank you, that’s perfectly awful :-)

wanted to emulate bene gesserit, ended doing bene tleilax

so the official reply is that mod got bored, and also was asked to re-open. which is, of course, fine.

and to be clear

• i didn’t think there is any conspiracy, that would be ridiculous,
• if we subscribe to the idea that a community is owned, not stewarded, by mods, it’s perfectly fine to do with the community whatever the mods want, without the need of them being accountable to anyone else,
• i do think that reopening the sub after closing it in protest is mostly sad,
• and a very small and rather insignificant footnote to a more general discussion on (f)utility of using master’s tools to bring down the master’s house.

nah, i’m not going back where i’m clearly not wanted; the mods can take care of this themselves.

it was always a risk; questioning someone’s integrity, be it directly or indirectly, is rarely welcomed.

needless to say, i’m even less inclined to resume any activity on reddit.

not only the thread is closed, i was banned for asking that question:

so what you’re saying is that people shouldn’t be their whole selves in your presence because it makes you uncomfortable.

replying to your questions/points in order of appearance: yes; go to hell; get in the sea.

tbh it looks like that whole lemmy instance is pure lolbertarian trash.

all their points about cville are pure post hoc speculation trash; this is way too close to the “but but violence is bad!”; laughing at the fash is good; beating up the fash while laughing is even better.

yet another programmer who imagines that having computer science baccalaureate gives him an insight into human biology. sigh.

in a typical reddit fashion the post is getting downvotes despite just asking the obvious question.

i have a reading account for when i need to read reddit via logged-in account, so i went and asked.

ETA-1: and got banned for asking.

ETA-2: the subreddit’s description still has “sub moved to https://awful.systems” in the old view.

why?

that’s sad (or delusion).

how does allowing the ai companies to ignore copyright improve the situation, pray tell?

for me the wat was triggered by “unsolicited advice”; if it was my reply that was reported, i wasn’t giving advice, i was setting boundaries.

my condolences.

and, no matter how much this has helped you to cope with your personal trauma, going through that trauma does not entitle you to use emotional blackmail to silence people who do not subscribe to the llm hype.

are you one of these fuckers who suggest that “red” states’ citizens deserve all that happens to them without realising how gerrymandered are the voting districts, and that the “red” states are not really red?
