xp see I would have found your callousness to/about me re covid thread posting a lot more offensive than being told to fuck off, but We’re All Different and thank fuck for that.

Aimless has been 20-FP'd for condescending sexism before IIRC

xps to Sufjan
"fuck off" is so impersonal and bland I can't imagine fp'ing someone for that. I didn't flag calzino, but when I saw this post, his subsequent ban wasn't exactly a surprise: ok what the fuck is happening in the ukraine
I don't give a fuck about profanity. I fp'd xyz because he was belligerently misrepresenting other people's posts, which was shitting up an already bad thread. I fp'd someone he was arguing with for the exact same reason; that poster remains unbanned, so maybe there is some kind of sides-taking going on idk
― rob, Friday, 25 February 2022 15:28 (two years ago) link
As I said, good to see which belligerent misrepresentation gets the fps flying in. Glad others noticed.

idk i pretty quickly decided i had better not post on that thread at all since, as a US ilxor, anything i say that contains a whiff of negative judgment toward vp's invasion of ukraine will immediately be deplored as "rallying behind biden" or "wanting boots on the ground" or "turning this into a us politics thread" or "cosigning us foreign policy atrocities" etc etc
it's fine as I just want an ongoing understanding of what's transpiring rn
i have never FPd anyone ftr
also ftr as a child of the 80s i absolutely under no circumstances want us boots on the ground
also xyzzz is a super tiresome unfunny troll (i like calzino)

also this is why people hate Americans in that thread
“It’s complicated”“Wow I guess we have some Putinists here EH COMRADE”
Also if Americans are being silenced by fear of that then damn I wish it worked better cos last glance the thread was full of shit and getting worse
― mardheamac (gyac), Friday, 25 February 2022 16:38 (two years ago) link
would also suggest the response to people going like “why is Tucker Carlson being brought up here “ was not ok, but you know, we established this was a numbers game a while ago.

if an american throws popcorn at another american in a movie theater, the corned american can legally murder the thrower with a gun (in florida). so americans themselves aren't immune.

I didn't fp anyone, but if the linked post did calz in, it's because he called someone a "tool", making all self-conscious about their age. Americans want to forget the Jerky Boys.

look under the well-understood fp system its no good complaining that:
- ppl shouldnt be banned- the wrong ppl have been banned
we should ofc be complaining that far too few ppl have been banned and demanding more from our mods

I read the anarchist article that table posted, and it made me grasp the situation a bit better, but it was also depressing in the sense of
can't find anything I want to vote for here
also some of the small details (not war related) reminded me of my ~lyfe~ and I felt kinda depressed
