The entire point of it to show anything could be…
You could say back in the day when you had to drive to a store to pick up a NES cartridge means your mom’s minivan can carry Internet traffic.
It was just a way to move a physical item containing data.
Anytime someone is generalizing a group like a generation…
It’s usually understood that exceptions exist.
that traditionally were written in a real systems language like C or C++
I mean…
You act like people weren’t using Java for serious shit… They still do for whatever reason.
Because you’re primarily looking at image posts…
Older people, 30-40s grew up when bandwidth was a limiter, we’re used to having to decide if an image is worth the bandwidth.
We just grew up with vastly different internets.
You all could just load a bunch of stuff and ignore what you didn’t want. We’re stuck in the mindset that bandwidth matters, so a bunch of stupid memes we aren’t interested taking up bandwidth and screen real estate just feels off.
It feels less like it’s being “offered” and more like it’s being shoved down our throats.
Bandwidth is going to be the new “turn off the lights when you leave” for the Oregon Trail generation. In our heads we still need to be cognizant of how much we’re using, even tho subsequent generations never seem to think about it. They’ve just never had to.
Happens to every generation in some way or another.
What I didn’t expect was what My friend said after making a Lemmy account on her chosen website — “I don’t like it because it looks like Old Reddit. I have to click on each post to view it”.
Sometimes people tell you something and it just ends a friendship…
And the very top comment was removed for pointing out that account was very bot like with it’s posting…
And in the meantime OP created their account and makes the same kind of posts…
So play something else?
They do it because people like you will keep paying from Day 1.
If it’s 120/year and 50/expansion…
How much money have you given them?
When are you going to do what actually matters and stop instead of complaining while giving them thousands of dollars?
You’re still assuming it’s intentional…
A leaky pipe that slowly forms a stain that looks like the Virgin Mary doesn’t mean something made that simulation of an intentional representation of a religious figure show up.
And regardless of if anyone ever noticed the similarities or even sees it, it’s still there.
The entire universe might just be leaky pipes and if something “bigger” out there looks at the resulting water stain, maybe out of everything they could observe, something would remind them of their existence and they might chuckle.
But it’s very unlikely to be humans just statistically speaking.
On December 1, the situation, somehow, worsened when Kanye appeared on The Alex Jones Show. Over the course of the broadcast, he repeatedly praised Hitler and the Nazi party, insisting that he “loves” Nazis and “likes” Hitler, and at one point blatantly declaring, “The Jewish media has made us feel like the Nazis and Hitler have never offered anything of value to the world.” His remarks placed Jones in the rare position of attempting to help Kanye walk back his extremism by reminding him that Nazis “did a lot of very bad things.”
“But they did good things, too,” Ye responded. “We’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all of the time.”
That was in the morning. By evening, Ye had been indefinitely suspended from Twitter for posting an image of a Nazi swastika inside of a Star of David.

What’s weird is it’s always the accounts with no activity making these complaints…
Including this thread, OP has made 4 posts and 20 some comments over the last year.
They probably thought you meant something different than what you actually meant.
…
You think they do an annual review of threads?
It was over a year ago I made the comment, they banned me for it five days ago.
I don’t know man, it’s weird you’re not getting that, but it doesn’t really matter.
I’m sorry if I’m explaining it poorly.
I did remember it wasn’t I blocked a mod, I explained why I might not respond. And apparently they didn’t like that I had blocked their instance
Weird, maybe because I looked at world’s modlog and not theirs like you seem to have done.
I clicked on the link, it was a comment from literally a year ago lol.
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844
I blocked the mod of that sub about a week ago, so they likely went and saw my last comment there and banned me for it.
Like I said tho, I’m perfectly fine with it. I blocked their whole instance a long time ago, I think it might have actually been that thread that clued me in it wasn’t worth ever going there again.
Thanks for finding that tho! I’ll remember to check an instance’s own modlog in the future for more details.
Quick edit:
(which your agreement to could be seen as agreement with trans-segrigation in sports).
Nah, I was explaining how the only way to get better at chess is to play better people, and there’s no reason for any classes based around gender. And the explanation for difference in skill, is simply that the best men refused to play women, so they never improved. The first female grand master was only that good because her dad was crazy good and made her and her sister play him constantly.
You need the experience of high level play to be able to play at a high level, and any gender divide in division just prolongs that. So I was arguing against any segregation at all.
That’s why they let it stay up a year until I blocked the mod of that community.
And suddenly it was transphobic.
A “tankie” isn’t the same as a communist.
A “tankie” is someone that takes China’s side (the tanks) in that famous picture of Tiananmen square.
Being a “tankie” is using communism as a facade for authoritarian governments where a small group of “upper party members” are essentially oligarchs.
Nah, I replied to OP and they deleted the comment.
Maybe that looks weird on some federated instances or apps tho.
If it looks like I’m replying to someone else, that would explain the down votes.
OPs post gets reposted pretty frequently, always by new accounts which tend to disappear a day or two later after some lazy posts.
I really do think it’s the same person who’s bans are in the screenshots.
It’s too random that a bunch of brand new accounts all find the post and quote it with perfectly formatting including all the pictures just to repost it the same place they found it.
Especially since the new account always claims they’re “helping new users” like they’ve been here forever.
They seem more like nationalists who coopted socialism/communism to white wash what they actually support and overlooking the elite ruling class that they are not a part of.
…
Yes…
They’re defenders of USSR and China…
So obviously they’re not going to actually be socialis/communist.
The problem is when capitalists lump actuall socialists/communists with the fake ones.
On the other hand, I’ve blocked both those instances months ago and it’s been great.
Strangely I did notice I got banned from a blahaj community like a week ago despite not commenting there for at least 6 months, maybe ever?
Which is kind of the whole point of me blocking them
Both have mods/admins that are very very opinionated about things. And they tend to refuse to let things go (much like OP or you making that sub)
So if they see something they dont agree with, they’ll pre-emptively ban an account, because, and this is doubly important right here:
It’s trolls feeding trolls drama in a big loop
You making that sub, OP making this post…
All you’re doing is encouraging them
Can you really not understand?
I’ll try and remember to come back and check if you respond, but I don’t get notifications from instances I’ve blocked.
Edit:
I was banned five days ago apparently for this comment from a year ago:
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844
Definitely not because I blocked that mod five days ago and they desperately found a way to “get back”.
Great example of my point tho, silly instances like that there’s no point in fighting them, just block their instance and go about your life.
but that doesn’t block those users on them to be fair. That has to be done individually.
It blocks notifications of replies.
Sometimes I’ll notice a .ml responded to me, and if they seem decent I’ll reply back. But I’ll never get a notification and that’s almost always as far as it goes.
Which is fine. Lots of people can make one civil comment to rope someone in a conversation.
just advising new users to watch where they are active; I
Your profile has 10 posts/comments and has been around for a week…
Are you the original OP who just keeps making new accounts to spam this?
Or do you think 10 posts/comments over a week means you understand Lemmy and should reach out to teach “new users”?
World is kind of the vanilla instance.
Just.works is a “free speech” instance, I never see many communities hosted there, but a large amount of trolls make accounts there because just.works is unlikely to nuke an account.
Also ostracized…
I literally just blocked another troll before seeing this post, that’s literally ostracizing.
It was a 4 day old account too, so in all likelihood they were ostracized before, it was a negative consequence, and if it continues to happen. Maybe someday they won’t immediately be a troll on a new account.
But if normal people do that, the trolls only get replies from each other and that’s not fun for them.
