Jealousy.
It’s legal in many countries. You might want to check out how it plays out there in terms of human rights?
It’s gotten to the point here at Lemmy that I’m wanting to set up my two favorite communities. It’s just that they are so niche I can’t imagine them taking off. And my pleasure in them is of course derived from people who are FAR MORE into them than I am.
But I can’t even go back to that cesspool Reddit now even for the good stuff. Oh well.
I arrived at LEMMY after what I think we very optimistically called the Reddit Collapse. We wish. And I had toe in LEMMY and a few others at Reddit.
Recently with their abusively patronizing redesigning and gamification and just ugly bullshit, I can’t stomach Reddit at all. So LEMMY grows increasingly important, not just to me but to folks who haven’t yet even heard of it.
So, I’ll just say thanks for your post here. I have, I confess, engaged with a couple bullies on LEMMY and I always try to say… I don’t like to do this on LEMMY— and I say that precisely for the reasons you mention.
And as you encourage: I will try to be kinder, even in when feeling… hmm… less than kind.
You wouldn’t believe how many people could not grok this meme.
That’s the spirit, brother.
It’s not okay to ignore 227 upvotes. It’s okay. Some folks get it and some don’t.
Not a popularity contest.
It has been a pleasure to tweak the format and inspire some thought. Thank you.
Getting a post upvoted into the three digits isn’t a given at Lemmy. That a few people don’t get it or appreciate It isn’t on me and It surely isn’t a big deal. I notice you yourself have never contributed a post here. Try It out.
I prefer not to start petty little battles at LEMMY. I’m sorry that you have never heard the phrase: Jack, make sure we get that delivery by today!
It’s English. That’s the fun of it. You might try it.
Example: Chuck, I need that report by today!
Well, let’s thank Trump for destroying the CIA!
Totally agree. Just the first time I have seen the notation.
So… when there is some controversy over an article in Lemmy it gets the strike though? How did this evolve?
Well… it just removes so much toxicity from the outset

I shall embrace beginner mind and read more. Thanks for the recommendations and the links.
I believe that progressives in the US brought this on by lacking genuine and real vision. They called themselves progressives but Bernie was too socialist for them?? I can’t stand it.
Let’s see where it’s all heading I guess.
Postal mail. Notes. Face to face visits. Less narcissism and self importance.
Don’t feed those troll. In this case AI is the troll.
Yes, I realize I just fed the troll but it’s better yellowstone nothing.
