But at least there’s a good faith back and forth. I can deal with this because we’re both being even-handed. There’s no personal attacks or dismissiveness that is entirely unearned on their side of things. They actively refuse to answer or speak to subtance, only form if they are even doing that much
Edit: but the hallmark is after its apparent or the jig is up, you only have to say Ok or Yes or some other terse response and they immediately close up shop. Its rather formulaic imao
Yeah I did, thats very strange. But what I said about Removed by Moderator is true. If I had a way to share a screenshot for many of his replies, it would show that. He was much more combattive to the point he was moderated
oh my god, did you make a whole post to vague blog about me?
Thats actually genuinely very adorable
For the passers by, Im a “sea lion” because I dont agree with cheese’s belief that the apollo dev is obligated to make their work open source.
And, I guess, they dont like how much I swear? Didnt think a few fucks was a big deal between adults, guess I was wrong? I dunno, this is hilarious harassment tho
This is also a misrepresentation of my position. My position is basically that I get Christian was upset about Voyager (based on his terse comments on the subject) but that Voyager was perfectly acceptable use and even if thats not 100% accurate, the genie’s out of the bottle and I felt the gatekeeping was a little strange.
Like people were arguing as if they were the judge of the never-gonna-happen lawsuit Christian should seemingly file and ruling that he was gonna have to put a pin in Voyager.
I react strongly to people acting like Voyager needs and should need their go-ahead before it proceeded to build the app.
I get that but this person was not answering any real thing, they were mercilessly interrogating on non-isuses like [paraphrased] “I noticed you took down something that even had a SPELLING ERROR?!?”, a lot about the occasionally mispelled word or some other mechanical issue to the detriment of any of the substantive matters in the comments
Almost all of it or a great deal of itwas Removed by moderator(s). I bet he’ll take me to task for screwing up the removed quotation if thats not the verbatim
Because he deletes them. Or the moderator removes them. You’re right that the comments he doesn’t delete or that aren’t Removed by moderator are probably fine but on the basis of the points I made, its incredibly curated at that point, voluntarily or otherwise
Also, I paid for platinum/lifetime and also have no issue with paying a monthly subscription for the requisite monthly API fee that he woulf just need to negotiate with Reddit and implement
Christian is annoyed about Voyager but he doesn’t realize what a huge compliment it is to him and nobody would have bothered if he had switchef to Lemmy. Its just that people relied on Apollo and thats unacceptable for us. I personally use Memmy for the most part but I still disagree in principle with all the naysayers
That’s not at issue, absolutely, you are correct. I’ve noticed they often refuse to deal with anything substantive and they’ll nitpick and refuse to engage on anything like that. Its like “oh i noticed a spelling error and you removed a post” or something purposely inflammatory and swear at you while refusing to engage meaningfully on a good faith level.
Sealioning is never allowed on other more strictly moderated platforms like HN or Tildes or Lobste.rs to the extent I might prioritize my time on those over here. I’m getting tired of it
They’re pretty savage and assholey from what I’ve seen. They eat damn penguins, its fucked. I was surprised its in the bigboy dictionary but there you have it
The problem is they constantly delete their comments and I don’t have to prove anything. This post is more of a PSA to help people recognize what is happening and how to terminate it
Downvotes all around, woooow. Even reasonable points. Kinda emblematic of sealioning. Their only true and coherent response is downvoting in place of answering with anything resembling good faith.
Did you see their response I salvaged? They deleted it like lots of their other comments that arenmt otherwise removed by moderator because its unhinged
One would hope but nobody ever said life was fair. I was fortunate she knew she couldn’t directly murder us or the child support cheques would stop flowing but I felt like she was definitely caveating or hedging her bets. $10k in hand is better than in the bush

Is it ok to use acronyms similar to those on an equally or more popular discussion forum?
For example:...
