Yeah glad to see those fucks go. There's been an awful lot of bad takes filling up content sections on certain topics, every time I checked who had posted it it was almost always a lemmygrad user.
Their responses and comments have legitimately prevented me from coming here. Maybe I’ll actually visit and comment again with them defederated, I was so sick of their bullshit and posts clogging my feed.
I need to start checking the instance when someone posts something stinky.
I’d honestly noticed it a lot over the last few weeks and thought oh well, eternal September.
There was a nice little period there where’s there wasn’t much discussion around and those actually poking their heads out were really kind of wholesome. Now I see so many people still coming across in that friendly, inclusive way and I realise it’s just a vocal minority ruining it.
Let’s hold each other to a higher standard.
One love.
I hardly ever even look at the username - I'm not sure I'll get to looking at instance names.
My preference is a good quality dark chocolate, but I don't turn my nose up at pretty much any chocolate. Hell, I'll dig into one of those waxy chocolate Easter bunnies if that's what I've got.
Most recent (a couple hours ago) was a very chocolate brownie from a pan I made last night.
One knock-on effect for me is that encountering those folks on here made me want to triple check my tone and emotionality when I post or comment. I absolutely want this to be a better place than reddit, and I constantly find myself going back through my comments, editing to add corrections, or outright deleting them if I realize in hindsight I was being a cranky asshole. I've got to admit, I've even appreciated the notification-free moderation here - if I got into a fight with someone and our lack of civility broke the rules, I'm happy when a mod wipes out both of our offending comments. Nine times out of ten it takes out the comment that caused me to fight in the first place. And as heated as I can get, after going on an online tear, afterwards I usually feel terrible for being driven by anger. And angry posts almost never do anything except stroke my ego.
Yea, see you sound like a good egg.
Thanks for posting. I’m going to start measuring how emotional I get too. The good of the community is more important than a momentary annoyance. Thanks for describing a higher standard let’s all encourage each other to aspire to it.
One love.
What kind of bad takes?
We just blocked an instance full of them, go there for an example.
