However, Please don't spin the situation of kbin so that it looks like I'm the one causing it or making it up.

... nobody did...

... you do realize that nobody did, right? Read the post again.

That's some twist in a greentext. I usually start with "at least 80% likely to be fake" and adjust upwards from there.

As bad an idea as that would be, if real, it's still hard to underperform relative to SO.

"What will help me connect with my base? Ah yes, the haircut of a child molester!"

Both the guy and his barber must've been on PCP. At a certain point "just fuck my shit up" doesn't even cover it anymore.

Imagine that you’d rather not deal with the Reddit admins, for whatever reason. You have two options: either you suck it up and deal with them, or throw away all Reddit content, communities and people, because of those admins.

Unfortunately the fediverse, at least in the Lemmy/kbin sense, doesn't solve that particular problem. This exact scenario can still happen because a community belongs to an instance, and that instance can still be maliciously or just ineptly managed. There are also added complications with federation, defederation, instance/community politics, and just dealing with "duplicate" communities in general.

For example, certain highly political instances host many communities that are not political, and have been known to silently ban people from the whole thing just because their politics were "wrong". Sounds Reddity to me.

I assumed they would try for feature parity at some point, but I think they forgot.

Yeah, everyone knows it's so easy being male that literally anything bad that ever happens to one has to be 100% their own fault.

Not particularly realistic, but people go ahead and "know" it anyway.

Agreed. Also, you can definitely say "fuck" on the internet.

Exactly this. I have no idea how people are justifying dragging someone through the mud in front of people. Imagining being anon is obviously rough (which is probably why someone posted this almost certainly hypothetical scenario), but just having a place at this table would be extremely awkward.

OK, whether the specific term "berating" is semantically correct or not, that's not particularly relevant to whether or not it's decent behavior. It is still an ostentatious, infantilizing putdown of anon. In company, and in a setting that's looking a lot like "dinner with the extended family".

Even if anon is the deadbeatiest deadbeat to ever deadbeat, that is... asshole behavior. Pure and simple. Maybe the anon of this fake greentext deserves that?

Maybe, for some definition of "rights". If doing it in public, it would still 100% make you an asshole no matter how right you were.
