That’s quite different from how I thought federation worked, very eye opening

I see. Yet another outstandingly bad person using herd mentality to feel prideful about it.

This is about as easy as it gets to sign up for a Lemmy instance other than spinning up your own.

But I already have an account and I didn’t spin up my own or wait for approval

No email needed.

That is good at least

Completely understand. Good luck on finding an online home.

Thank you

Man, you know why you’re getting downvoted so much?

Herd mentality, etc.

Your comments fall of as EXTREMELY egocentric.

Nope, there’s no reason any egocentrism in my comments would justify downvotes, in a mentally healthy person’s eyes. This is just victim-blaming and gaslighting.

On the internet, you are not special, just one of the many billions of usernames around.

Didn’t ask, why waste time typing that?

It’s not that right wingers are imitating you

I know. That’s why I said that wouldn’t make sense. Try reading before replying. Will skip the rest of this paragraph now since you apparently didn’t read what you were replying to before typing it.

You are on the internet man, if people don’t do that, spam happens and instances get flooded with bots trolling everything until they shut down.

Not my problem. Not gonna associate myself with reddit clones that say “fill out an application and wait to be approved”

If you don’t want to “be approved” you won’t have an account anywhere.

So a simple “no” would have sufficed, instead of all this shit

I’m not trying to insult you, just trying to help you, because it looks like you are slightly oblivious to how you present yourself.

Sounds like you need to get better at not insulting people if this is taken at face value, but of course, it’s just more gaslighting

I’m not the one starting shit here. I was clear about that. The issue is that places where a rule is “no insults” always seem to mean “no defending yourself from other people’s insults” not “nobody is allowed to insult you”

I don’t think my grandmother is on here.

And if she is, she shouldn’t insult me anonymously.

Not rocket science.

If you resort to name-calling back, you’re just as low as the person insulting you, and neither of you belong on Lemmy.

That is incorrect. Maybe I’m too good for Lemmy and they’re too shitty for Lemmy, but that doesn’t make us the same. You are a bad person for pretending there is no appropriate use of insults, and judging others over it - especially since you’re apparently into insulting people yourself.

But what sucks is that I might get banned for how “insulting” this is to say, while your much more insulting reply to prompt my insult stays unchallenged.

So you’re bad at picking who to target, but you’re also bad at being mean. Not sure how bad you really are then.

Thank you both for this subthread

So basically, federation can kinda work one-way? That’s a big deal, changes my view quite a bit

You are free to insult as many people on the internet as you please. You will not be very popular though, for that is generally frowned upon.

I’m waiting for the internet to have more people mentally healthy enough to not judge someone for appropriate use of insults.

When speaking to strangers online keep in mind basic netiquette, and “read the air” per say.

Don’t understand this.

The world does not revolve around the USA

The US is the seat of the global petrodollar economy

I really can’t tell if you’re sincere or not. I apologize for that.

I don’t get how people keep conflating me with right-wing people. It’s like right-wing people are going around imitating me to confuse people or something. It seriously makes no sense. It’s enraging and incomprehensible.

That instance appears to not allow open signups. I don’t want to be associated with a place that says “fill out an application and wait to be approved.”

I can’t get this comment right. It needs to show less emotion because it could bother someone to read it. But it needs more emotion because I’m too tired of all this. I don’t know what to say.
