ID: photo of two friends looking at a phone together, laughing, above is text: "Hitting "delete" after reading the first sentence of an entire essay that some bigoted potato took the time to write in my comments."
cue other bigot that thinks that this makes it an echo chamber
"why don't you respond to criticism"
depends, if you are banning me for using slurs I wouldn't think you're in an echo chamber, even if I was the biggest bigot on this planet, however, people on lemmy have banned me for stating my opinions like "I don't want to live in an autocracy" or "kamala is still better than trump"
on one hand having a nuanced opinion instantly dismissed because you opened with wrong think is fucking retarded.
on the other hand the internet is the wrong place for nuance, publish your essay somewhere else.
On the only hand that matters - ableists get blocked and reported.
Found the bigoted potato
I had to look up what platform let's you delete other people's comments. Is this an Instagram joke?
Tumblr used to let you edit other people's comments. That's close, right?
Poor John Green. That was wild
No way that's so funny
I can delete other people's comments on my tumblr posts
This is good because I am under fucking attack
I thought it was about mods.
Lmao that perspective actually makes it even funnier
BlueSky does I think. Perhaps not exactly, but it lets you remove quotes people made on your posts, or something like that.
No, it's a secret Jira ad
Can replace it with block button and the meme still works tbh
Honestly I thought it was a "delete my own shitpost" type meme.
I don't do a whole of of this whole "social media" thing
YouTube? perhaps?
Me seeing “More replies” under my comment that won’t unfold because it’s probably someone I blocked:
Don't insult potatoes like that!
Is there a way to "shadow delete" a comment or shadow ban a person on lemmy so that they do not know their bigotry is being silenced?
i'm not convinced that shadow bans are actually beneficial
I'm not sure from a mod or admin point of view (while I am a mod in one community as a backup, I've not done any moderating myself), but I know that if you block a person on your own account, the only indication they'd have is that you don't reply.
From what I understand it's actually quite a difficult issue to address on the fediverse, since content is mirrored on so many instances, deleting or blocking it on one would have very little to no impact on other instances, and obviously ban evasion is much harder to spot, since anyone can open as many accounts on as many instances as they like. I would imagine it makes it really hard to stay on top of shit that comes in, especially the worst things like abusive content containing children.
With federation, not really.
See? Bigotry, evil queer-phobic cishets, unnecessarily evil blogs?
- gone - !
unspecified MtF person: oh you silly billy, unspecified straight onlooker: haven't heard that in a long time, bigot: absolute scream of rage.
this came into my head when some random time i heard silly billy being used and I've been wanting to get it out ever since.
Reminds me of "goof", which was used endearingly in my family growing up, like "silly goof". Later, when my circle overlapped with some wannabe gangsters, I find out some considered it one of the worst insults you could give.
big tate hate failed French & fried rule
Unfunny double layer joke on joke but your meme is pretty
Admittedly, I’ve done this several times.
