Rant

A place where you can rant to your heart's content.

Rules :
  1. Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
  2. Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
  3. Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

Editing to delete all of this. I am getting real threats again, and I am not willing to have a complete mental collapse over fucking Lemmy for a 2nd time. Fuck this place. And especially fuck all of the transpose assholes bent on making my life hell. I am deleting my accounts permanently, but will leave the content up. Don't worry, you won't need to kill or doxx me, I intend to take care of the former myself.

I guess I don't subscribe to the meme communities

Same. But I do subscribe to a lot of technical communities where the cm0002 collective reposts, and that can get annoying.

I just don't get where this vitriol comes from about it.

It’s actually really easy to understand. You said so yourself: ban evasion is annoying.

But, like, we are in a “rant” community. The original poster seems annoyed.

You don’t have to understand it at all. This isn’t yptb.

Yeah, me too, I hate when people post things lol

Like every time I see a history picture in the feed I'm like ARGHH FUCK THIS GAH GLU BO and I start chewing the furniture

Why come to a rant community and be sarcastic and condescending? The ranting is why they’re here.

Is cm0002 banned somewhere? Are they using new accounts to evade those bans in places they've been banned?

I do feel like if your "rant" is very specifically directed at some other specific person, and also seems factually untrue in a few different respects, then it's worth asking some questions. Just because it's a rant doesn't mean it's exempt from people having a reaction.

Why come to a rant community and be sarcastic and condescending?

Because it's my way of making a point. In some societies, when someone aims criticism and vitriol at another human being, other people are allowed to defend that person or ask questions and see if it's justified.

Like a jerk? Gross! I don’t need that. No one needs that. See how you got downvoted for being condescending? No, you don’t. I love a guy who’s “just asking questions” in a shitty way.

“But they’re just posting!” Obtuse and rude. Neat!

“Vitriol.” Lmao

Edit: I knew eventually this would get downvoted more than upvoted! The assholes always come out of the woodwork on social media, it’s simply a matter of time.

Like every time I see a person not acting like a jerk I'm like ARGHH FUCK THIS GAH GLU BO and I start downvoting the comments

"It's not simply a matter of more eyes eventually reading and disagreeing! It's just a bunch of assholes brigading!!1!"

That's actually pretty cute. Do you really feel this way? My options are agree with you, or be an asshole? Mark me down as an asshole, then.

See how you got downvoted for being condescending?

No, you don't. Cos we're all just assholes, in here.

E: ducking autocorrupt

My pleasure. I don’t have your entire instance blocked but I wonder if I should.

Why would I ever care about your opinion? Oh no I might miss a Big Lebowski reference

I want to add that blocking this kind of person has improved my existence here immensely. Far fewer stupid “witty” comments straight from reddit.

Excuse, but i ordered the

EXTRA BIG ASS

side of hypocrisy to go with that condescension, please and thank you! 😘

"Hey this guy's a big piece of shit. I can't even tell you what a piece of shit, I'm so angry, he's total garbage, he's the absolute worst and fuck him, we need to get rid of him."

"What? I've never found this specific person you're going after to be a piece of shit. Why do you say that? (specific questions and sarcasm)"

"Woooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww"

You seem lovely lol

(I'm going to take your response to mean he's not actually banned anywhere)
