This one made me giggle. The linuxsucks dude is a trip. I would love to see a psychological workup on a person that creates a 1-person community on an ultra-niche platform and protects against other people joining to the death.
I definitely wouldn't have thought to label him terrible. Just emotionally delicate enough to not be able to handle dissenting opinions and harboring a sense of powerlessness that has made him want to create an environment where he gets to control the people that try to participate.
I can relate. I might start a "somethingsucks" community and may the Gods help anyone that tries to usurp me.
The name isn't "no cars" or "never cars". There are some rare use cases for personal automobiles. But the ways cars operate in our society today? Fuck 'em.
Saw someone with their own instance say on another post (not on their instance) that they could tell that said post had 5 downvotes by users they had tagged.
Not sure that it's true, but I do find it a bit unnerving. I was on (the now defunct) Kbin and the downvotes were public, which didn't bother me as much because it was at least transparent/equal (though I also had someone pester me over a few votes spanning weeks on their just-them-posting-a-popular-comic place, said it was an error with their averages and then they still silently banned/blocked me after).
I will never understand people who want to give up fruits and vegetables. Not only are they beautiful but they are really fun and relaxing to grow. There is something about growing and harvesting your own vegetables that can't be wrong lol
I blocked carnivore immediately as it was an obvious teenage attempt at trolling. Granted its creation seemed to be a response to the false flag vegan communities.
