I’ve realized that not everything is worth responding to, especially on Lemmy. Why bother? It’s not like it matters. That’s why the “deafening silence”. What more is there to say that hasn’t been a thousand times?

Yeah. Enjoy lemmy.

Last post before that was from a month before that. So I’d consider that abandoned, or at least in the process. But as I said, it doesn’t matter.

I wasn’t around when that happened. How would I know?

That’s a good rule! And I appreciate the offer. Maybe one day, but for now, I’m going to stick to reddit.

TLDR: If you want more traction for your new community, don’t spam fifty posts all at once. Post one or two posts a day, and keep it going for a while.

Thank you! It’s definitely been a bit of an adventure, for better or for worse. But tbh, I missed all the niche subs on reddit, and there’s no real equivalents here. Maybe one day, when lemmy is bigger and more normal people have shown up, I’ll come back.

Is it better? It looks abandoned by the new mod, and it looks like a copy of all the other lefty political subs. In any case, it doesn’t really matter.

This is it, the megathread. Please keep it limited to this one, we don’t need the same event spammed 50 times.

R1, homophobia. I get your intent wasnt to insult gay people, so Im not removing it and putting on the federated mod log, but next time, please dont call things gay.

Didn’t I already ask you to tone down the race stuff? I appreciate the content, but Id rather avoid this kind of stuff. TBH, I dont know if this is starting to cross the line into racism or if its just being bothered by racism or what.

Man, I hate judgement calls.

Thats fair, and thats exactly why I let you make the decision.

You know what, no, I’m not. I’m going to turn off my computer, and go drink a couple more beers and do literally anything but get on lemmy tonight.

You made a false assumption, and went all in on sources that depend on that assumption.

Mate, here’s a great example of you intentionally pissing everyone off. Look at how much effort you put into the comment, you got sources and everything. But you’re still managed to piss everyone off, while maintaining a thin facade of civility. We can see past it at this point, you aren’t here to discuss or anything, just to troll.

A try-hard troll is still a troll.

I’m still going to let peepin make the final decision, but I fully recommend a ban.

Tbh, there has been a lot of race focused posts lately. I’m toying with the idea of some sort of temporary halt on the topic, not sure if that’d make things worse. Streisand Effect and all.
