I had to post three or four warnings to my friend group that said, “The following is not a cry for help, I promise I’m fine” before I posted this.

Worth it.

Opponents beware, opponents beware.

It’s just like any other system of belief. You can sit around praying for something, or you can cast more effective hexes, such as “hit this guy with my car,” or “actually give him poison.”

Lets hope all these internet witches don’t learn the power of direct action real magic.

Love the petty bullshit of all your replies to me telling you off, which were correct, including links to the same comment where someone says I could’ve made my point clearer.

Congrats. You found one person who says your reading comprehension might be understandable, out of the entirety of the rest of the commenters here, who all tell you to stop with your bullshit crusade… and your reaction is to passive-aggressively try and shoehorn their one comment into every single other thing you reply to me with.

I’m going to tell you, even though you refuse to listen- “engagement” isn’t a metric of success. If 300 people tell you to shut up, that isn’t 300 new friends. That’s “you are wrong,” writ large. And since you don’t understand this either, on any of these other posts you make- people stopping replying to you also doesn’t somehow make your points true. It just means you’re more exhausting than entertaining.

This is to just to say, I’m done here. I’m going to go back to blissfully ignoring you until your next bullshit move to try and defend Leni, at which point I’ll probably link whatever new folks are stumbling on your ongoing nonsense to this thread. Or any others. Goodbye. Enjoy your meaningless reply. I won’t be answering it.

It is way, way past my bedtime, and my meds wore off, so out of curiosity I clicked through to the link on Reddit again and…

Yeah there’s no way that the user who submitted this to ‘court’ isn’t the same fucking person. I’m going to quote a post they made to /r/Lemmy. I don’t recommend trying to read it, but if you do… yeah they’re all the same person. I’m done playing nice about it. See if this doesn’t read in the exact same terrible, unreadable way:

"For those of you who don’t know, there was an act of terror that was on the news a few days ago where the perpetrator happened to be a Lemmy World mod, and everyone is talking about it due to this (and then another act of terror that happened in the same span of time where the perpetrator wasn’t a mod but where the guy expressed support for a certain guy Lemmy loves loud and clear, which one might say makes site morals look bad). The site has been known to ban anyone who supports Musk’s rhetoric as well as anyone who is registered with KF as many will always be willing to being up for ages, but what about this new evolving rhetoric? Trump is in office and just barely saved Tiktok.

On behalf of a few instances, I have been asked if you all might defederate Lemmy World, even though I have been hesitant until now to even bring it up. To me at least, I’m sure most people are going to say “apologists > murderers” as would make sense."

First of all, no one is asking this individual to represent their instance, let alone a few instances. Second, the top comment to that is literally identical to the top comments on almost everything this person writes:

“I’m confused as what you’re trying to say. I tried to follow the links, but that didn’t make it clearer, either.”

Godspeed, /u/triangularRectum420. You represent us all today.

And CraigOhMyEggo copped a ban from Santabot on slrpnk for being an alt of Leni. That’s enough for me.

I don’t care about an accusation made in the past. I was responding to you denying an accusation that wasn’t made in this post. You were denying it without accusation here. You can’t, and shouldn’t, expect the readers in this thread to be aware of any conversations you’ve had in the past, and if you’re going to defend against those, it should either be made clear that they weren’t made here, or you should defend against those comments where they were made.

Because, in absence of that claim here, as I said, you’re defending against an accusation that wasn’t made here.

Eta: You copped a ban from Santa on slrpnk.net for being an alt of CallMeLeni, so that uh… seems to lend it some credence.

I love popcorn as much as anybody, so normally I’d launch into a retelling of the whole sordid tale, but the problem with this drama is that it’s not fun to read. Because the CallMeLeni person, and also the one who was leading the crusade against them, can’t write.

That’s not like, a cute joke. I’ve never, in my long and storied life, seen people who have such poor writing skills. Many times, people have commented to tell these folks that their writing is unreadable, and every time, the response is either to defend it, or to get weirdly specific about the complaints being made.

So instead of bothering with the whole thing, I found the post where I first read CallMeLeni posting something, and I’m linking it here. I didn’t bother carrying over the links they put in the comment. And I’m going to paste a quote, so you can see why I don’t recommend going for it. I can’t warn you enough that this isn’t worth your time.

::: And for extra protection, I’ve spoiler’d it. Read it if you want but you are missing out on nothing.

The implication here is false, at least by my definition of the word “false”, and he even alluded to that after it began to be discussed elaborately, albeit before using an appeal to the masses (story of my life) and say “most people seem to understand”, which ignores consensus of me and the aforementioned Blaze (as much as the “the truth we all wanted to speak” remark ignores not everyone had that issue). Notice how I responded with “I can spot rules broken by the other person’s thread more easily than I can spot rules broken by mine” and got only thumbs down for it and no responses, yet when I actually dissected the rules piece by piece in front of him to point out that any rule I supposedly broke wasn’t there, which even the person who recommended I make the discussion in the first place (the aforementioned Blaze) agreed was a “fair point to be honest”, the mod then delved into the concept of “unspoken rules” as an excuse for himself and said he didn’t want to “rules-lawyer”, which not only disproves what he said about “specific posting guidelines” being “in the sidebar” that supposedly explained what I did wrong, but proved a point I commonly mention about people in different places including here always being uncritical and unwilling to see things for themselves and just taking peoples’ word for things (and about that, to respond to Cypher’s last reply, intellectual =/= intelligent). A part of that is it also suggests, by extension, that the quantity of thumbs down you garner is unreliable as consistently meaning anything, unless the rule is actually to apply gladiator logic and say a thumbs down signals mercy, as indicated by the very Roman-esque culture around here. I guess all this time, I was being praised and didn’t realize it? :::

This is fucking hysterical. You realize the person you’re replying to didn’t say you were Call Me Leni? You denying it without accusation like that is uh… not a great look!

The complaint is regarding a known sock puppeter. Those votes are almost certainly all from the same person. And even if not, then those other accounts who write just like her but only because they ‘collaboratively compose their messages’ could be doing the upvoting.

Eta: ohhhhh it’s this mofo. Let it go, CraigOhMyEggo. We get it. You’re a serial Leni defender. But no, and I can’t say this loudly and hard enough, getting 8 upvotes on a joke subreddit doesn’t show that the whole of the fediverse is wrong for telling Leni to fuck off. And even if somehow this was a good way to make that point, in some crazy universe, the fediverse doesn’t hinge on reddit’s opinion of anything. Most fediverse folks don’t give a shit about redditor’s opinion. Or we would be on reddit.

This is a really pathetic attempt to revive the argument for Leni. You need to move on with your life.

I support any woman having access to whatever she needs to manage their menstruation, because they’re fucking awful. But I’ve never personally been a fan of putting anything in there for any extended period. I assume anything we use for this purpose is poison, since science didn’t even treat women as people who exist until relatively recently.

Naw, just ADHD and my eyes jumped to the shortest bullet first.

You needed five points to get to saying you don’t know what I’m talking about?

I encourage them to continue trying. For science.

Eta: please don’t tell me about it unless you succeed. I was just trying to be supportive.

Please don’t believe literally anything you read that references procreation genetics. It turns out, humans are complicated, wars happen, some people value people for their feet more than their faces… there’s literally no data that’s concrete enough to be valuable enough, and anyone telling you otherwise is doing so either because they’re lying to themselves, to you, or selling something.

Source: having read quite a lot of it over my many years on this earth, and watching it be destroyed time and again. Hell, I could write a paper arguing that people typically choose mates based on their appearance, their intelligence, their height, their income, their geography, their history of family trauma, their interests, their smell… And find documentation of various dubiousness to support each argument.

These words are in English, but the sentiment is so foreign to me I can’t seem to comprehend it.

…might be fried from work and classwork, tho.

People are sleeping on Little Witch Academia. If I had seen it as an early teen girl, I would’ve been obsessed.

I really loved Space Dandy, but if you’re claiming it doesn’t sexualize women, the entire restaurant of Boobies would like to have a word with you.

ETA: And we meet Meow doing upskirts.

I’m commenting so I can look into why later because there’s not a lot of m@teys who’d be proud of that.

The boyfriend (also ADHD) and I both have it for people making eating sounds, like eating with their mouths open. Your mentioning smacking made me think of that. Agh!

I get real mad when people use ADHD as an excuse to be an inconsiderate bag of dicks.

I prefer to be interacting with several forms of media, yes. But I don’t need the sound up on all of them, and if I did, I’d put on my BT headphones and mix the sound levels individually. What an asshole.
