reactionary mod

I was wondering about this person, recognized their username (FrightfulHobgoblin), checked the modlog, wow, turns out they posted a good deal of racist and transphobic shit on their lemmy.ml account.

Absolutely hate it when people mix legitimate left-wing causes (anti-US imperialism) with reactionary bullshit like this. All it does is make those causes look worse.

"FrightfulHobgoblin" is also a full blown bazinga techbro cultist that believes a sufficient number of TI-88 calculators bolted together is a direct analogue for a human being.

Took me a while to realize NoYank wasn't an anti-masturbation community.

I'd lean towards just [email protected]

My reasons are three:

That's a reddit naming convention, emulating reddit culture
It signals forever to new users who didn't see the split that there was a split
Federation already gets the job done: distinguishes [email protected] from [email protected]

Sorry, /r/?

The /r/truex subs were typically chuds making their own anti-woke copies of subs they got banned from for being too racist even for reddit

NoYank's mod was banned from Hexbear yesterday, then unbanned today, and then I was myself banned from NoYank for pointing out that the mod had been unbanned from Hexbear, so that's basically why I'm making this request now.

The ideological basis of /c/antiseptic, by the way, at least if I'm the one to run this comm, would basically hold that (")American(") media and culture is not inherently bad, and non-(")American(") media and culture is not inherently good. Which is to say, it would follow my ideas of the "U-S-A (Usonian-Seppo-American) tripartite division", "bourgeois vs proletarian anti-English", "marked Americanness", "settler hemorrhage", and whatever other ideas I have floating around in my noggin to make sense of my peculiar existence as an American born and raised and still living in Europe. This, I think, is my "leg up" so to speak, compared to someone like Frightful Hobgoblin, who is just a regular-ass, relatively-privileged, titular-nationality European, whose understanding and critique of "America" can only go so deep.

That user is an insufferably arrogant and pretentious computer toucher of the highest order and one of my least favorite reminders that Hexbear is connected to a larger federated network.

I don't think it's comfortable or even safe to associate with people that see living human beings as only so much meat with crude computer hardware sloshing around in it. cruelty-handler

You will be unbanned in 49 days or now if you promise to drop the vendetta.

California Ideology indoctrination usually doesn't wash out, but if it actually could and you found some vestiges of humanity and dropped your cryptofascist techbro power fantasies and acknowledged the validity of other human beings, maybe I could stop seeing you as the misanthropic piece of shit that you are in a few years or so after careful reconsideration.

Maybe.

But I doubt you have it in you.

LMAO ol' Frightful was saying I had a "vendetta"? A "vendetta" of all things? Now as far as I can remember, the comment that got me banned from NoYank said something like, "Look at that, Lemmy's number one 'antiseptic' is back in my feed posting some more quality Irish tunes. I thought you'd been banned permanently but apparently I'd misunderstood and that was only for a day. Despite yesterday's ordeal I'm still glad to see you back, fighting the good fight."

Frankly, even as I was writing that comment, a voice was telling me that I was being too lenient about things that I would normally consider unforgivable, that this cautious optimism and willingness to forgive I had was undue for the gravity of what had occurred and the repeated nature of the offenses... But it would seem that acknowledging that wrongdoings had taken place at all, was to the hobgoblin not lenient enough, as if they'd rather be seen as infallible than forgiven. What a dishonest soul!

NoYank's most notorious mod is the most big-yud imaginable kind of computer toucher, too. No wonder they post so much racism and transphobia; a misanthrope that sees a bunch of TI-88s bolted together as at least as conscious and self-aware as a human being is likely to dehumanize others and be a general piece of shit.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

I'm starting to regret ever having a positive impression of ol' Frightful. Even after finding out about their bigotry, dogmatism, ignorance, liberalism, and general disagreeability, I still had a "kick the football" mentality about them, just because they're outspoken about one issue that matters a lot to me.

Alas, it would seem that being too forgiving is the deadliest yet also the commonest flaw a socialist can have...

I think OP is trying to distinguish that it's about culture rather than activism. Correct me if I'm wrong @[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It could go either way, really.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

The name is just a suggestion

The reddit one was called /r/RAAMACFYL , which is not very good.

YankFree was considered.

Before the mods ban you, how about you present us with some smug Eurofash wisdom and tell us all what you think of Romani people. That's usually a hit.
