The level of fragility on their ego is hysterical. I've seen so much of it, from years ago to today, and I just can never help but laugh. The ego is catastrophically large for someone who checks notes runs a mediocre lemmy instance.
Edit: Pretty sure I found out why this community was blocked. Me. Because I live rent free in Value Subtracted's head.
Basically, yeah., but it looks like Piefed makes it even harder. Normally on Lemmy you'd just have a comment in your profile saying "Removed by Moderator". But if I even go to that post on piefed, I can't even see that anywhere. Apparently when a moderator removes your comment from Piefed, it just is deleted. Like it never existed.
Exactly. That's basically what Value Subtracted told me when I was leaving Startrek.website to set up Ten Forward. Before he realized that I was going take every single major poster on his community with me, anyway.
Someone else should definitely do it with the whole site.
Honestly, it wouldn't take much to make a more successful Star Trek instance. As much as I love Lemmy.world, I'd be REAL hard pressed not to slide over there myself. I know a bunch of other Trekkies that would too.
Don't think you realize though how dead Startrek.Website is. I was astounded. Going back to posts a year ago is as easy as 3 pages in some communities and as hard as 10 in others. They're also limiting the scope of what people can see so much...
For another example. The call out post I made a year ago on Ten Forward? That was at 530 upvotes last month. It's over 600 today. I also regularly get messages from people, I'm talking like two or three a month, who express surprise that I'm still on Lemmy because they thought I was just blocked.
When Picard, UmmThatGuy, NegativeNull and every other big poster left Startrek.website, the whole site went onto life support. It's limping along. A new instance might just kill it entirely. I can't say I have any qualms against the execution of startrek.website as a valid instance. Not like the admins know what they're doing. They're just redditors.
Oh I saw. There were plenty of comments I didn't put in the post because I was just getting too hungry to focus. But your name is kinda hard to miss lmao
It's the least I can do. I just want to help Lemmy. He wants to turn it into something he can control. He doesn't deserve the ability to slink by without being called out. I do find it hysterical that Value will consider stuff like this "Scorched Earth" as he has said to numerous admins in the past. To him "Scorched Earth" is just screenshots of things visible in the modlog. I guarantee you that whatever little conversation he's cooped up in at the moment and flailing about how he's being attacked, he's used those exact words.
Narcissists are not as clever as they believe themselves to be.
I may have been getting some of the numbers confused if I'm remembering longer times. I'll check out a few in a bit. I'm doing a couple things at the moment to try and get some dinner. But if you checked the numbers and the longest is 10 seconds, then I fully trust you and retract my previous statement
Ahh okay. So what I can take from that is if someone was instance banned with a community ban immediately after, it was due to someone banning them and clicking the remove content toggle?
Completely agree. What's funny is that no one on Startrek.website will ever see any post on this community. They're so aware of their constant abuse that they pre-emptively blocked Ye Power Tripping Bastards.
The entire lot over there is problematic to high heaven. Using their name the way they are?
They wanted to harass the hell out of me and try to get me removed from various websites because I existed and wouldn't remove comments critical of them? Well, two can play at that game. But I'm a bit more connected than just running my own little fiefdom.
I have done minor voice over work for recent Star Trek shows and still know people who work on the show.
I'm sure that CBS would be real happy that you've got admins using the Star Trek brand and abusing people with it. I try to aggressively seperate my personal life from my Lemmy life but I am more than happy on smashing the two together like the fucking Large Hadron Collider over this shit.
Oh wow.
The level of fragility on their ego is hysterical. I've seen so much of it, from years ago to today, and I just can never help but laugh. The ego is catastrophically large for someone who checks notes runs a mediocre lemmy instance.
