Wait - YOU WERE THE ONE who threatened me with an icepick!

The only thing I’m predicting that I’m meeting your mind with is an icepick

I was absolutely defederated from the Hexbear side. It actually happened in the middle of that thread, I missed being able to see some of these comments too, until I just checked now to look at all the comments I hadn’t received after the defederation:

i am wishing death and suffering upon you. I hope your life gets materially worse. I hope you get leprosy. I hope you get stabbed. I hope you get long covid. I hope you hang for your collaborationist ways and I hope the hangman fucks up so it’s painful

you get to climb to the top of a very tall building and yeet yourself into the void

Death threat

You’re free to pretend it is a big mystery why all of a sudden I stopped receiving updates right during the middle of that conversation and then have never received them again. You can compare the comments on my instance to the ones on Hexbear, and see the timestamp (2024-10-31 11:04:23.640156+00) after which I receive no new updated comments.

Again, this is what Hexbear does (along with the tradition of violent hostility to anything outsider) to protect itself against being exposed to dissenting points of view. Lemmy.ml does the same, just in a more subtle and less shit-picture-based fashion.

I get that, but you can see how someone could read that and feel like that’s what you were saying?

You’re doing a lot of excuses for how someone could “feel like” one thing someone is saying is actually some other thing. This is the second time you’ve done that. Actually, after I explained myself in that thread, I still received plenty of people who were telling me all kinds of stuff about what I believe and how I was lying about why I was saying that, just so they could have the mean-spirited fun of “dunking.” You’ve done the same thing here.

I see you’ve learned well. My observation is that this is an incredibly popular pastime on lemmy.ml and friends. They tell each other what their “enemies” believe, and then if someone comes in trying to explain anything different, they get super-hostile to an unhinged and violent degree about what the person is actually saying is some totally different thing, and then they get all frothy about it until the person leaves or gets banned.

Like I say: Waste of time. I’m not sure why I have spent as long on it now as I have.

Maybe if more of the Democrats who feel as strongly as you fell into line with me instead we could actually be in a position to be using this horrifying war machine for something positive.

Yeah, y’all sound super productive. I can’t wait to fall in line with you and experience all the victory you’re in store for. So far, you’re killing it.
