honestly, given the rest of his comments, i’m not giving the benefit of the doubt on sarcasm anymore. if you’re this upset about a ban from a community you’ve never interacted with, then it seems odd to be upset enough to document things this thoroughly and make a drama based post about it. you can’t drop sarcasm like that whilst ostensibly acting genuinely in a manner befitting that which you’re professing to mock via sarcasm.

Edit to add: the reason sarcasm works is because people are supposed to be on the same page about things. reputation matters in interpersonal sarcasm, e.g. i can make much more sarcastic deadpan jokes in a group of friends whilst i wouldn’t do the same when i’m talking to a random person in public. on the internet, and especially on a federated network, it is difficult to assume a reputation when many instances interact. thus it seems reasonable to assume that, given what i’ve seen on this thread, he’s not being sarcastic.

lol where’s the troll besides someone “seeking legal action” against an online community that has apparently caused them sufficient distress to merit damages, whilst they’ve self-admitted they’ve never participated in said community? what a victim mentality.nobody is owed participation in an online community, and if someone has predetermined that you aren’t allowed in their communities, you should call them an asshole and move on with your life if you even care that much. jfc what delusions are people under that they think there’s any actionably legal consequences to something like this?

lol cringe

i mean, albinoblacksheep, newgrounds, and ebaums world were things before and around the time of youtube; iirc the main thing youtube had was a clean design and a decent video player that handled buffering without stuttering. it made it easier for people to just upload a video and share it. ebaumsworld kind of had that i think, but the site layout was a mess and i’m pretty sure i remember them basically just stealing the content of other sites like albinoblacksheep
