He’s explicitly talking about detracting people who are “violent” and call him a “bootlicker” for “deescalating”. It seems like it’s moderator speak for “people are saying politicians/billionaires should die and that personally offends me”.
Comment on Tesseract is shutting down
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 10 months agoRead his rant. It just sounds like he’s mad at us for being mean towards the poor wittle billionaires/nazis.
Considering how few references there were in the post, and your projection onto it. I think you may be part of the group he’s talking about that is causing him to close up shop. Its just my speculation though. If I’m right, how does that make you feel? Are you happy he’s closing up the instance and leaving the Fediverse or are you sad that a heavy contributor to the Fediverse is leaving?

People came to Lemmy explicitily because Reddit bans you for disliking billionaires now.
It’s not that I like them or anything, but it’s very irrelevant to my motivations to use fediverse.

Being an anarchist isn’t an excuse to be a dick y’know.

Unless you are a libertarian

in which case you’re not an anarchist, you believe in the power of capital

That’s, uh, not my experience.

Not a valid excuse, at least

Again, I ask: Why are you surprised that literal anti-capitalists hate billionaires?
growsomethinggood@reddthat.com 10 months ago
I’m obviously not talking about being a dick to billionaires, I’m talking about harassing a burnt out instance owner

You’re making authoritative claims to what the Fediverse is, who the people posting here are, and what their collectives beliefs and goals are. The Fediverse certainly isn’t a monolith that you can do that to. Hate isn’t an identity, nor is it the goal of the Fediverse. I think this part of the original closure notice may apply to your line of responses here.
“The worst part is that they’re so caught up in their own self-righteousness that they can’t see they’re just as bad or worse than what they’re spewing violent rhetoric at; trying to talk sense into anyone or de-escalate things is immediately met with “bootlicker”, wild accusations, and/or worse.”

Why use many words when few words do trick?
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I have no criticism of the original post. My statement was aimed at Sal’s hyperbolic interpretation and self-projection of those few words.
