        I only hate Lemmy.ml or whatever its instance is cuz they banned me “for no reason”.

        I think it was related to vaccuums, they wanted to clean up the place and thats hard to do when guys are jizzing in vaccuum s i guess…?

        Edit: also, for all i know vacuums are manufactured in Malaysia (ML?) and the communist government “forced” their bloody hands on it. Still doesn’t make for a free and purely rational discussion forum.

          I was banned citing rule 1 (no bigotry, racism, etc) for posting a meme about how modern cars are too big, too expensive, and send all your data to China.
          Apparently because my meme implied China Bad.

          I left because the moderation and administration are inconsistent. The rules were left too vague and one of the admins keeps removing random stuff according to different rules or new definitions of the rules. They are left so insanely vague so they can basically do what they want. Kinda icky to me. If I’m doing something wrong I wanna stop it. I was abused as a kid by a mother who loved to make up new stuff and new rules and judge me by them. Blame me for not following them when they only existed in her head.

          Said admin acts the same way and I have absolutely no interest in engaging with that. I barely escaped hell before. I’m not going back.

            Reminds me of Tildes honestly. Had some great discussions but the condescending loser assholes and the ruthless moderation by @deimos was insanely non-evenhanded ultimately and lost them a contributor who actually brought thoughtful if idiosyncratic views on things that always created abundant engagement. Ah, its just as well. I need fewer distractions and at least with Lemmy, theres lots of space (instance-permitting) to be me. Same reason why I like Lobste.rs: smart folks but way to harsh+judgemental and inflexible, like a computer program lol

    1. If you get kicked from an instance, upon joining a new instance, make your first post a furious comment on the admins/mods/hivemind of the instance that kicked you, completely forgetting we can all see the modlog.

    Your YouTube link should have been a Piped link but it’s okay.

    You’re free to enjoy the lemmit.online content, but don’t interact with it or you will appear confused.

    Don’t stress about upvotes/downvotes-- They’re even more made up here than usual.

    Never pass up an opportunity to bitch about ads, Chrome, Reddit, capitalism, Arch users, streaming services, or your favorite Lemmy client.

    Do not attempt the Picard Maneuver unless you’re sure you know what you’re doing.

      yeah those unwritten rules are why i hardly want to tell anyone about this site. its a bunch of comp sci nerds that finally have a platform to talk to be mildly social

      and the humor is very par for course of compsci nerds. dumb, contrived, an obscure reference with a random jpeged gif in the background, etc. not funny.

        Suspiciously named user, I literally plug all of my movies on this social media platform. Except the first Suicide Squad. And Terminal.

          Good call on Terminal. Not the call to star in it, but to pretend it never happened. Also, no need to specify between Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad, the second one had the The in the title suggesting that it is The one that counts.

          When ‘you’ win an oscar I will probably add it to the title, but thanks for the suggestion. ;)
