I see a lot of posts from @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world.

They post good memes, insightful comments, moderates a few communities I think.

probably not a real squid though, I don't think they got internet in the ocean

    probably not a real squid though

    I am currently visiting some friends I've been talking to on a forum for years but have never met. We've all been really close despite that. It's sort of a three-day forum party and it's been amazing.

    Why do I bring this up?

    I needed a shirt to wear for the first day so I didn't have to keep telling people who I was and I found the perfect shirt. (Excuse the crease, I took the picture the day after.)

    Edit: are the downvoters disillusioned by the revelation of my false endoskeleton?

    I would hope they would want to know who they were talking to all weekend, especially the people who own this house.

    I have seen their name a lot, and though I think I share similar opinions with them on a lot of things, I find they tend to be more condescending and insulting for my particular preference.

    he also has a habit of replying to people without fully reading what they've written, creating long chains where he blames everyone else for his failings. it's ugly.

    Where exactly did you have to ban me from? Because I just looked at your post history and I'm not banned in any of the communities where you post.

    Strangely, for me being a dude with serious issues, you aren't worried about posting regularly in the communities I moderate.

    I don't think most people look at the list of moderators before submitting content.

    I don't exactly make it a secret that I moderate World News or Lemmy Shitpost, where they have posted multiple times. Including in reply to me. The big red M next to my name makes it kind of hard to miss.

    And that still doesn't tell me where they supposedly banned me from.

    Checks community's modlist

    I've seen them a lot as well, but personally in my interactions, I've found them to be abrasive, narrow minded, and eager to take things personally. Lowkey don't mind that, it's not the internet if everyone is some polite bland npc.

    But add mod powers for many communities and...

    I dislike flying squid because of how they interacted on that one post with comic involving double standards on pictures of children

    Denying people's trauma and right to not have those images be shown to others without permission is not a nice thing
