I'm only still here because account deletion is broken on KBin.

eltimablo,

Honestly, I've found Lemmy to be generally worse than Reddit since it seems to be where all the banned redditors go once people get sick of their shit.

eltimablo,

Peering agreements are in no way free no matter what company you work for, what the hell are you on about?

eltimablo,

In what way do you consider it easier to read raw HTML than it is to read properly-formatted text? This text displays all of its tags on kbin and it's a nightmare to read.

eltimablo,

Bike 45 miles each way to work and tell me it's still a viable solution for everyone, everywhere.

Try to build a rail network that adequately covers 3.8 million square miles without driving your country into blinding debt.

Tell me that I need to haul a cello that I value more than my own life in the rain.

Squeeze enough groceries for a family of four to eat for a week into bicycle saddlebags.

But as I mentioned elsewhere, the more smug and sour you act, the more the average person is going to oppose you simply because you're an absolutely insufferable asshole. Then again, if you had social skills, you probably wouldn't be here in the first place because you'd have friends (and maybe a fucking clue).

Go eat uranium, you smug piece of shit.

eltimablo,

For real, the people on this site deserve the hell they create for each other. If Kbin had a functioning account delete button, I'd have been gone months ago.

eltimablo,

Shhhh, thinking about things past the barest surface level scares the tankies.

eltimablo, (edited )

Clearing the snow doesn't fix the ice that snowplows leave behind and gravel/sand is a straight placebo. That's why the roads get salted/brined.

eltimablo,

It's because the most insufferable people from reddit all came over to Lemmy/kbin when they got banned for being exceptionally insufferable.

eltimablo,

Being concise didn’t help. Being verbose didn’t help. Being conversational didn’t help. Being literal didn’t help. I tried everything and all of it is still being misinterpreted as the polar fucking opposite of what I actually fucking wrote.

Same here, so I'll try it your way:

You're acting like a hyperaggressive, condescending dickhead in every single one of those comments, and though I personally agree with you, I still want to slap your teeth straight because you're being an utter prick about it.

Just because you agree with someone doesn't mean you're not doing so in a hugely offputting manner.

eltimablo,

That should be in the rules instead of "bootlicking," then. Well-defined rules make it harder to enforce them unfairly. The fewer questions the community has to ask about guidelines, the easier it is to follow them.

Thank you for answering in good faith, by the way.

eltimablo,

Define "bootlicking" please.

eltimablo,

When someone tells you "this thing you said was unnecessary and you would have avoided the conflict if you'd left it out" a dozen times and you continue to demand answers like nobody's even responded, it becomes difficult not to treat you the way you treat others. In every one of those interactions in the thread you linked, you added something to your otherwise inocuous post that was entirely unnecessary and extremely inflammatory. These things have been pointed out to you repeatedly. Had you not said them, you would have had no problems. Why the fuck is this so hard to understand?

Also, I'm not saying you're not worthy of human interaction, I'm just saying that nobody's going to tolerate your bullshit and you'll end up pushing all your friends and family away one by one if any of them have even the faintest semblance of a spine.

eltimablo,

This is the exact kind of aggression people were saying was unwelcome.

eltimablo,

‘What should I say instead?’

Nothing. Leave that part out. I don't think it's the entire site that has trouble with reading comprehension, just you.

eltimablo,

It may be easier to type and say (as are most words in comparison), but "antidisestablishmentarianism" has a well-defined meaning that would make for a less-vague rule. "Bootlicking" means a lot of different things to a lot of people, and not all of those people have common sense, to put it nicely. I've been called a bootlicker for saying I don't want to tear down the entirety of every government everywhere, ever, for instance, which I imagine isn't what that rule is trying to convey.

There's a reason "legalese" is the language laws are written in. It's very specific, with any potentially ambiguous words given clear definitions before any of the rest of the law is presented (at least that's the intent in the US, anyway). If you were to, say, define "bootlicker" in the beginning of the rules to mean "excessive praise for police violence," then I'd say it's quite safe to use elsewhere in said document. Leaving such a vague word undefined in what amounts to a paralegal document opens up avenues for abusive interpretation, both from moderators and community members.

TL;DR: Clear definitions of what your rules mean leads to a healthier, easier to moderate community overall.

eltimablo,

Nothing says "well-moderated community" quite like vague, easy-to-bend rules!

eltimablo,

You didn't ask that question. I answered the one you did. Congrats on the novel combination of moving the goalposts and putting words in people's mouths, I guess? Seriously, do you not read your own words?

People keep telling you which parts of that conversation would have been better left out if you wanted to sound sincere, but all you do is further attempt to weaponize your feigned ignorance.

You know damn well that you're acting like a condescending prick. Enough people have pointed out the things you could have changed in that exchange so that you didn't sound like a condescending prick. And now, here you are, acting like a condescending prick to anyone who dares to answer the question you asked on a public forum.

eltimablo,

I'll take the hit just to watch you roll around in your own verbal diarrhea

My favorite part of this haranguing is how y’all don’t hesitate to declare I’m subhuman

Please point out the exact sentence, or set of sentences, where I said that.

This is the rudest thing you could think to say to someone, and it’s over nothing.

Good, perhaps you might start to understand now that you've been on the receiving end of your own behavior.

You've also not addressed anyone who's mentioned your incredibly condescending, snide tone. Literally nobody. Not even to be dismissive about it. You can ignore your problem all you want, but the fact is that the way you talk means you could be reading me a document saying that I've just been given $10 billion and I'd still fucking hate you. You asked why you were treated poorly, people answered unanimously, and you don't even have the wherewithal to consider the point that everyone is trying to pound through your brow ridge.

You're the problem. Your behavior is the problem. The way you talk is, you fuckin guessed it, absolutely the problem.

You got your answer. Accept it or don't, just do it somewhere else because nobody fucking likes you.

eltimablo,

The way you write heavily implies that you're only out to prove you're better than anyone else without even the faintest chance of you actually being better than anyone at anything. You sound smug, arrogant, ignorant, and generally offputting. If you can't understand that people don't like that, then I suggest you learn to enjoy being alone for the rest of your life.

Also, where did I say shit about you condemning the other person? Putting words in people's mouths is a great way to piss them off even more than you do just by opening your mouth in the first place.

eltimablo,

U poop pants

eltimablo,

This comment reads like someone smugly shitting their pants because someone they don't like said they'd win the next time they gambled on a fart.

eltimablo,

Joe Biden is going to take our cocks away.

eltimablo,

Of course not. America is the only nation on earth capable of perpetrating evil, ghod.

eltimablo,

A miserable pile of secrets.

Wait, fuck, wrong meme.

eltimablo,

It's really not. People like Varaniute will find something wrong with even the most glimmering of complements. My recommendation is to block and move on.
