Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

I sort by new to look for new communities that are active while lemmy grows. The purpose of the side bar is to let visitors, who potentially would want to engage with your community, what you're about. Yours doesnt make any sense and you don't seem to want anyone to understand so fuck you and I'll just block your community. You must not have anything worth participating with is that's how you engaged with new people.

The feeling's mutual, to be clear. Your refund is enclosed.

The purpose of the sidebar is what now

I love when people turn arbitrary social not even norms into moral imperatives

Ah federation, when random drive-bys can comment telling you're doing it wrong...

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 5 points 1 year ago

it's everything we hoped for. no wait, not "hoped".

Or could just yell you what an unwelcoming community you've built. You guys belong back on reddit

[–] YouKnowWhoTheFuckIAM@awful.systems 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao why did you invite people in here to vote on your comments

[–] blakestacey@awful.systems 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, everybody needs a hobby.

And some people are just really bad at picking them.

I mean I’m pro-irrationalism, which in part means I think all considered thought and behaviour is and should be conceptually posterior to wildly lived action. It’s just that hissy-fitting and conducting a vote “brigade” is so done

Didn't you say you were blocking this instance?

Having rules about what the sidebar should say and how it should look like sounds like what a centralized system like Reddit would enforce, so I'm not sure I'm getting your point.

Anyway, I'm not a mod, I don't care about Lemmy microdrama, this is just the place people went to when the sub was put into lockdown. So far the results of federation are neutral-to-negative in my opinion.
