- Comment on YSK that no form of United States ID, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant. 13 hours ago:
Because they don’t give a shit whether you’re you’re a US citizen or not. They just want to hurt brown people.

Congratulations. It usually takes people aging well into their 30s or 40s before they realize this.

But also when they would ban someone, they would do so from every single community on their instance, including ones that you’ve never even heard of.
this is what I was talking about earlier. I find it to be an absurdly childish overreaction, and the mods & admins on some communities/instances default to this behavior with a ridiculous amount of entitlement. it’s not hard to see just by looking at the modlogs.

when I first joined up during the reddexodus, I followed the lemmy drama a bit, but I’m really over it by now. after 30+ years of following online community drama, I’m just burned out on it. it’s all so petty and childish, it holds no interest for me anymore.

oh, sorry– .ml
I haven’t personally run afoul of issues on dbzer0, but I’ve seen others complain about it for a while.

OK, maybe so. I blocked that instance a long time ago, and haven’t kept up on recent goings-on. If you say that it’s gotten worse, I’ll take your word for it.

oh, the irony
lol

well, the .ml mods never seem to be the “power-tripping” type of asshole. they would argue and were combative and were definitely assholes, but they didn’t seem to quick to ban people.
The major objection (and why most people left) was because of the explicit political views of the Admins (who also are the main devs for the Lemmy software) and the rampant intolerance of other views by not only them, but the other users of that instance. I ran into users on .ml that were soooo far worse than the shittiest assholes I ever encountered of Reddit or Digg. It’s part of why I’ve switched to PieFed.
Lemmy does help mitigate this by giving the wider community the ability to sort of sequester the trouble-makers and to easily block them.

Someone will register a subreddit, and then a bunch of related ones, so anybody who tries to use any of them has to follow the same set of rules — and if you piss off the wrong person in one, they can ban you from all of them.
This definitely happens here on Lemme, too. There are asshole mods, here who register a ton of communities, and getting banned from one of them instantly means you’re banned from all of them. I’ve seen this in the mod logs where someone has a relatively innocuous comment removed, then they are suddenly banned from both that community and 10 or 12 other communities. All run by the same moderator.
If you think you escaped asshole mods just because you’re switched over here to Lemmy, think again.
From StumbleUpon to fark to digg to Reddit to Lemmy… Asshole, power-tripping mods are everywhere and aren’t going away.

macOS does the mouse-wiggle thing, too. super-useful!

fortunately, on macOS, all you have to do is wiggle the mouse a bit, and it’ll get really big for a moment so you can find it, lol… it’s super-helpful!

Yeah, there was like, a 15 year period. Where nobody ran standard cursor on their desktops. People would have these crazy animated things that would just drive you crazy.

That was definitely Steve Jobs and the iPhone 4. And while that was definitely pretty silly, it wasn’t as ridiculous as this.

I know, right? You never heard Steve Jobs demanding that people be nicer to their iPods.

- Comment on Lemmy's active userbase has been stable since September 2025 6 days ago:
It is nice. I would like a way for Mlem to integrate it, but their current solution is still pretty elegant in an of itself
- Comment on Lemmy's active userbase has been stable since September 2025 6 days ago:
Mlem (iOS) doesn’t exactly consolidate comments across cross posts, but it does list, at the top, all of the cross posts, how many comments each one has, and links directly to them.

That’s part of the joke: you can’t order just 20 or 50 or 100 hair ties period. You’re not only order them in quantities of 1000 or more, and even then, it’s only like five bucks.

I ordered you a dozen hair ties on Amazon.
You’re welcome.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
The point was that in the old days, that’s what you had to do to create an entirely new identity
You are the only person in this entire comment section discussing that. As I have said, many times now, the rest of us were discussing creating a fake ID. You keep trying to change the subject.
and considering how effective it was, it really wasn’t that complicated or difficult.
Except you described, in a bit of the detail, exactly how difficult it was, and how long it took. You keep claiming the opposite of what you spend paragraphs explaining.
I’m sorry you’re so confused. But this has been a waste of my time. I’m blocking you because everything you say is nonsense.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It was something you could do yourself, and not have to track down some sketchy criminal to buy some fake identity that may or may not work.
It was a major crime that you could pull off all by yourself, without getting involved with anyone else
Ok rebel. But that wasn’t what we’re discussing. The point of the discussion was whether or not it was easy. And by everything you keep saying, it was an enormous pain in the ass to do what you’re describing. And well, it may not have been a pain in the ass for you in particular, for any normal person it would’ve been. And the more you keep “explaining”, the more and more you prove that to be the case.
I don’t even know what you’re trying to argue at this point. That you committed crimes and are there for a cool? Because it certainly was neither simple nor easy the way you describe it.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that was life before the Internet. You actually had to do stuff. You couldn’t just click a few keys, and get what you want.
Literally, nobody said that. And you’re also making my point that it would be a huge pain in the ass, not “easy“.
Still, to create an entirely new identity, and disappear? Today, you couldn’t do it all. A little legwork and a few months of waiting for mail isn’t that much to ask.
I wouldn’t know, and that’s not what we’re discussing here. But, once again, you’ve made my point for me that it wouldn’t be “easy“, it would be a gigantic pain in the ass.
