  I’m not Banksy and if you think they have the reach to cause a small army to financially ruin a store than you have a very outsized opinion of their social influence.

  Aite, I’ll admit it. That was funny lol

  Well, it took 2 months, but at last “why all the downvotes?” / “downvoted for the truth smh” / etc. has reared its head in my feed again. Hooray.

  Let’s place bets on the next Reddit line to jump over here and appear in every single thread. “Updoots to the left!” maybe?

  Sarcasm aside, it’s magic Internet points. They’re worth less than here than they even were on Reddit.

  How on earth is what I said a red flag? Are you following the correct thread?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banksy Encourages Fans to Shoplift From Guess Since Company 'Helped Themselves to My Artwork Without Asking’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So if you don’t agree with a multinational clothing brand using someone’s art for profit without their permission you’re a nazi now?

  I’m not sure where the bad faith accusation is. You’re saying that because of the way he operates, they get to use his work without his permission on physical products they sell for profit. If this is incorrect feel free to explain what you meant.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Banksy Encourages Fans to Shoplift From Guess Since Company 'Helped Themselves to My Artwork Without Asking’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a legitimate discussion to be had about whether not he should be doing that, but to compare it to a multinational corporation selling clothes using his work without his permission is pretty disingenuous.

  I imagine for some it will be an opportunity to see it for the first time since it will go on past the normal theatrical run, and for others it’s excuse to go see a movie they enjoyed. It’s less about giving you a single reason, and more about nudging you to get back out and see it again/push last folks to go who got FOMO.

  It’s also an excuse for them to extend the theatrical run but make it sound like some new phase/event. Much easier to market, much easier way to get people’s attention.

  It’s mind blowing the admins won’t defederate. This happens over and over again. Every single time a new forum builds traction the alt right freeze peach warriors roll through demanding civility and openness as they carpet bomb the area. I’m so tired of watching it. It’s beyond predictable. 

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can we please defederate from hexbear⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I would suggest you’re an idiot if I were as condescending as you. But I’m not, so I won’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can we please defederate from hexbear⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate this logic. If we weren’t supposed to defederate, then we shouldn’t have the option. It is a core feature of the fediverse. It can and should be used.

  All of y’all who talk like this need to go back to Reddit. This is not Reddit. We need to use the tools available to us to keep out bad actors. Build up your own instance if you want to let every asshole through the door.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can we please defederate from hexbear⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This entire mentality you have is the problem. If people are fucked up, you need to remove them. Plain and simple. You aren’t disagreeing about a studio album. These are flagrant bigots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨can we please defederate from hexbear⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am watching instances on the fediverse once again fall into the trappings of giving too much benefit of the doubt/giving too much commitment to some flawed notion of “free speech” and all I can think about is how that is 90% of what ruins any quality community that starts gaining traction online.

  If this is the road we’re going down we may as well leave now. I’m tired of seeing this happen over and over again. 

  Admins: y’all need to be more liberal with the ban hammer. You also need to defederate from communities that are so blatantly toxic and fucked up. There are enough people out there now that we don’t need to be hanging out with literally any person who expresses interest in the fediverse. It’s time to exercise a little bit of discernment. Your generosity will be used against you like a casual. Make no mistake.

  Liked this piece a lot. Everyone should check it out, it’s short and to the point. The title is a bit bait-y and not what they’re implying (don’t love that) but it can be forgiven lol

  Dead internet journalism theory? Lol

  Man I wish like only 50 people would watch it. Enough that they can’t say it was a technical issue, but so low that they have their egos bruised. Sadly that won’t be the case.
