It's all good. I am talking about the shill you were getting goaded by, not you. Don't sweat it; it happens.

He's just some paid shill. They've been infiltrating Lemmy for months. Don't even waste breath arguing with them. Just downvote them, jot down their screennames and warn others not to listen to them. Arguing with them directly is what they want so they can convince others there's a legitimate debate to be had.
Well, I said before I'll leave any servers that federate with Meta, and it's looking like that time.
They're actually and unironically going to kill us all, aren't they?
Bootlicking's easier for people to type and say, and most people do have an understanding of what it means. It's just not really officially codified yet.
And it's all good. There is far too much bad faith bullshit going on on this platform that goes unabated for me to not at least try to speak in good faith. I wish the others would learn to do the same. 🤦
Antidisestablishmentarianism. That's functionally what it is.
Nothing says bootlicking by applying the same bad-faith thinking you accuse others of having without caring about the fact that humanity has had to operate on good faith the entire time it's existed.
It happens on Lemmy all the time. I've been shadowbanned at least three times, all on the bigger instances.
I really, really suspect that the big Lemmy instances are being run by Reddit admins or spooks or some-such. They're moderating their instances in the exact same way Reddit did minus the profiteering. The censorship is the exact same.
Also, the fact that it's possible to shadowban people and the software itself doesn't circumvent that by auto-messaging you or putting a banner on the top of your screen when you are banned from an instance or community is reason #589238923 why Lemmy fucking sucks ass.
Oh stop. The government should be running the pharaceutical industry then, not private companies.
Stop simping for evil corporations that don't give a shit about you.
Then go back to Threads and stop helping corporate oligarchs take over the internet.
