    what are your thoughts on this book: This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Mapping the Relationship between Online Trolling and Mainstream Culture by Whitney Phillips (2016)

  • Lots of people go on long, deliberate trolling campaigns in real life. Harassing the new kid for no reason. Gaslighting the wife so she gets institutionalized. Humiliating the cute coworker because I'm jealous of her. There are some people who don't think like you do, and not all of them are good.

  • I'm good. I'm good. I just wanna talk to him.

  • What is your personal perception of people that like to listen to metal? Does that change based upon age?

    Jump

  • People who like metal are obsessed with what everyone else thinks about them

  • For US folks, is right now a good time to buy a house?

  • I used zillow. I heard all about the controversies. But it worked perfectly for me.

  • With Facebook and x.com you pretty much understand the risks going in.

    But with stack overflow there's so much naivete required to create an account and begin asking questions. The good stuff is laid out right in front of you: people asking similar questions and getting thoughtful responses to deeply technical questions. It feels rewarding to get your first answer approved.

    But then after months of "trying" you hit the wall. A sudden deluge of hostility and toxicity. Bipolar moderation staff suddenly deciding your content has no value and dumping you on a curb at night with a shitty smug comment, to the applause of bloodthirsty hoards of bootlicking trolls.

    Nothing could have prepared you for this. It's hell. All of your work for nothing, any chance of justice or restitution gone. Every promise broken.

    It's insidiously evil and I hope every member of their staff (unpaid moderators included) goes bankrupt and loses their home to foreclosure.

  • Your position is that Lemmy is immune to the following: company creates an account on Lemmy, spams communities with low effort content (possibly created by AI or automated processes), attracts viewers, then sells the account to another company as part of an advertising campaign. This position can be defeated if the above happens even one time. I'm refusing to debate you on this not because you're infallibly correct, but because it's not worth the investment of time. Any idiot can see it's an indefensible position. Have a day. 🫱

  • before you guys upvote him, please read the discussion.

    this guy came to my instance, read what I wrote, typed out a report and submitted it; he blames blindness and small text for not knowing which instance he was on, but neither of those issues prevented him from reading my post (it was a post about abuse, in a community I created, on my own instance) and reporting it. That's why I banned him. He's using a disability as an excuse to get away with offensive behavior (ignoring me when I tried to discuss the issue privately first).

    Yes, disabled people can behave offensively. Some disabled people can be selfish. Some of them hurt people, then walk away without apologizing, and blame their disability instead of themselves. To me, that's abusive, and I call it out instead of letting people get away with it, because I've suffered enough at the hands of people who make excuses instead of being accountable.

  • because there's only a few thousand users here.

    that's why it isn't commonplace; there's no money in it. slop companies make more money on tiktok, facebook and other popular platforms...

    ...but Lemmy is not free from abuse of this type. If the fediverse was more popular it would start to see more slop content.

    that's my point. it does work here, because the same vulnerabilities exist, but isn't common because it's not as profitable as shitting in tiktok or facebook. :)
