What are you talking about?
We're in a thread discussing Twitter removing the Block feature. If you forget what the conversation is about, scroll up a bit.
Why would I complain to an admin?
Because you're mad Twitter is losing the feature, and yet this has never existed on lemmy.
If you think it so important, why are you using a social media service that doesn't have that feature?
Arguing is against the rules of this community. I’m going to nuke this whole thread because it’s becoming nasty and that’s not welcome here either. Please read the rules and make sure you don’t break them again or you will be banned. Thank you.
"Arguing" means letting people know how block actually works on Twitter? The post is misleading, and people should know what block actually means in the context of Twitter.
Are you going to tell this to the people calling me an idiot over and over? That's actually hostile, very different than just contributing to the conversation letting people know what the feature actually does.
If you want to ban me, fine, but I'm calmly informing people. It's the reaction I've got, from being mass downvoted for giving context, and repeatedly getting name-called that should be seen as the problem.
I warned the person who called you names and deleted their posts. What other people do or say isn’t an excuse for you to break the rules, it’s each individual’s responsibility to follow the rules of the community, the instance, and lemmy.
I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. That includes arguing for arguments sake and provoking arguments. According to lemmys code of conduct, users should report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
I gave you a soft warning for being argumentative with me with your “are you going to get mad at” comment you made to me personally earlier. This is your final warning; if you break the rules again you will be permanently banned from this community.
It is a serious question, if it's bad that Twitter does it, is it also bad that lemmy work this way?
If you have a double standard and want to ban people that point it out, go ahead. Consistency is important.
I can see why you are upset Twitter is removing blocks, because censoring people that point out your own hypocrisy is how you deal with problems.
Once again, I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about now. I explained in another thread why I personally think lemmy/Reddit is different from other social media, but we’re not talking about that now, I’m talking to you as a moderator for breaking the rules in your replies to someone else. That’s why I distinguished these comments as “from the moderator”.
I’m not upset with Twitter, I don’t use it to tweet myself. I’m not being a hypocrite and I’m not banning anyone because they disagree with me. I’m banning you because you’ve broken the rules repeatedly, and continue to do so after I gave you three warnings. Your behaviour is not appropriate or welcome in this community.
You must think I'm someone else.
You're the one who complained about my comment, when I said it's fine Twitter removed block.
You're either a troll or are having a hard time keeping track of the conversation.
All I said is you're an idiot. You're having an imaginary conversation with me after that point. I'm not here to debate with you.
You said I was an idiot for saying removing blocks was fine.
That implies you think blocks are necessary.
Now you're backtracking.
I am absolutely backtracking. You can't make up idiots like you.
---end of the discussion with me---bye
Name calling is against the rules of this community and lemmy. I’m going to delete your comments that break the rules. Please don’t break the rules again of you will be banned. Thank you.
That's completely fair, I don't blame you. Sorry about that.
No problem, we all get carried away at times. I just really don’t want this to become Reddit so I try and implement the rules quite strictly. Thank you for sticking up for me in the thread above, I was beginning to question my sanity!
Call someone names for their opinion on social media features, then repeatedly pretend you don't remember how the conversation started followed by more name calling.
Brilliant use of your time.
Thank you, I did enjoy the first reply I made to you.
I thought you couldn't remember it and you were done with the conversation?
Did you know they put wheat in generic fruit roll ups? I always wondered why they do that.
Being gluten free is a bigger hassle than it seems. You'd think you're giving up bread, and switching to a new pasta type, but it so much more.
A lot of premade sauces have wheat too.
I think it gives the roll-ups their stretchyness.
