Shadow bans are evil as shit, but there's something especially cruel about making sure everyone can still see the posts, just not interact with them. You'd feel like you were going insane.
LOL! Nice one.
There was actually a Twilight Zone episode in the 80s about that exact punishment:
A lot of it can come down to catching flies with honey. As fun as it can be to put your boot through the door and slap your dick on the table, you're very rarely going to get a decent conversation with that as your starting point. It comes down to seeing what the tone of a thread is and approaching cautiously if you're otherwise out of place. Survivalism onion and all that good shit. You'd be surprised how many people you can get to drop all pretense by just prodding without arguing. Also slapfighting gets repetitive. Sometimes just having a bit of blessed mundanity is nice, even on an internet forum for laughing at tards.
Yeah, I think that if the quality of this thread, and the board as a whole is to improve, there needs to be better enforcement of keeping things on topic, and the rule about “not posting if you have nothing to say” needs to be more broadly applied. If you’re engaging in the same slap fights over and over again, with nothing to contribute, and it being nothing more than dumb insults or the functional equivalent of “nuh-uh,” you need to log off and touch some grass. Nobody needs to see the same dumb discussion on Israel for the five hundredth time that day, between the exact same users.
I was with you until you started gunt-guarding for the hulkster. How exactly is coming in here to call people out as fat pedophiles to intentionally rile people up an effective breaking of an echo-chamber? If anything it only creates and deepens a siege mentality, especially when he argues dishonestly. I have tried on multiple occasions to engage with him in good faith. He's the only person I've ever met here who tried to tell me that the clear-as-day text information on a webpage didn't say what it literally said.
No you see we need a powertripping tranny global moderator that'll ban you for vague reasons if you happen to "disrupt" whatever deranged echochamber that is inhabited by their clique of favorite users. That moderator is essential to maintaining the culture and integrity of the forum because.... uhhh....
I remember seeing some leaked DM with Hulk where the mod he was talking to flat-out said he'd have been banned ages ago if he wasn't such an old user. Wish I had the foresight to have saved it or something.
Charlie Kirk was an important part of Trump's ground game, so if you're a leftist who is already inundated with fearmongering propaganda about how Trump is Hitler and about to do another holocaust in two weeks then killing Kirk is like killing Goebbels to them. Not all of them think this, but politicsbrain means most of them will inevitably try to cover for the others who are openly celebrating it anyway.
This and the two attempts on his father, I can imagine it won't be pretty if "Barron Augustus" is no longer a meme someday.
I am going to disagree because you are basically advocating for turning this thread into your local newspaper with your 'holier than though' talk. As if everyone that you dislike is a no life loser, it might be crazy for you to imagine but not everybody likes to overshare about their life and interests on the Kiwifarms, it isn't Facebook. At the end of the day you are basically advocating against banter. You want human input about your desired subject without the problems that come with having human users.
the politics we're "missing out on" are outdated ideas that don't work in a post-Trump and post-COVID world. old-school leftists are still arguing like systems in America are still functioning as well as they have in the past. they want to keep skating by on inertia in a world where they can make sarcastic quips at their conservative parents and then spend money from their hip tech job at a grocery store with employees who still know english without getting stabbed by a nigger
Worse, this is a sock account, probably for someone who shouldn't be here
Listen. If we would just give that nigger adequate means to meet their material conditions and seize the means of production from the capitalist system which over-polices them, you wouldn't be in that position of getting stabbed. It's not hard.
there was a funny bit on his show the day after the south park where they were joking about how it would be great if they could get all the people who think he's an israeli asset and all the people who thinks he hate israel to fight each other
