Rimu published yet another hit piece against the /0 instance and this time posted it in his own instance comms as well. One of his mods jumped in, admitted they don’t know anything about anything, but nevertheless felt confident enough to state their opinion as fact and in the process insult all of us collectively, then stickied his opinion for good measure.

So I decided to reply sarcastically, at which point that mod insulted me and locked the thread, which is apparently a feature in piefed which simply hides/deletes further replies in that thread, but since it’s not a feature in lemmy, it appears to function like a shadow delete.

This is what my last reply would have been.

(Yes I’m being snarky, but that “I’m so mature” bullshit just rubs me the wrong way.)

In my opinion, using mod powers to get the last insult in, is just bastard behaviour.

    my point is simply that what matters if a given communist is to get called ‘tankie’ or not is how willing they are to toe the line against americas enemies

    And I disagree. Shall we keep going in circles?

      if you’re done being evasive and can’t muster up an actual response then i guess we’re done here.

        I haven’t been evasive, I’ve been succinct. We don’t all need to gish-gallop and build out massive, loaded narratives to try and salvage a take.

        But since you’re just fillibustering on a loop, if you get bored, maybe just ask unruffled if you can borrow the keys to the bias-confirmer-3000, toss my history in there, and talk in circles as much as you like.

          you can be both of those things. just because you’re struggling to engage with anything other than straw targets or articulate any clear principles doesn’t mean i’m gish galloping.

          you can reply with simply disengage and i won’t respond.

            I’m not struggling with anything. I disagree with your opinion, I’ve explained why, and you refuse to accept that it’s possible to disagree for some reason.
