Draconic NEO mods a lot of dbzer0 and pawb.social communities, and every time he bans someone, he bans them on ALL of his communities. That's the cause of the pawb.social data.

And everyone who complains about him turns out to be a transphobe. Right after they make a yepowertrippinbastards post with a valid grievance, they suddenly pivot to making tons of alt accounts to harass him with transphobic hate speech for no reason. It's super convenient for him that all his critics turn out to be transphobes. I guess he's a good guy after all, since all of those random people with valid complaints turned out to be hateful lunatics.

    Yeah I looked into this a while ago and it's a concerning pattern. Every single time someone makes a post on YPTB about one particular dbzer0 mod, it seems as if they then go on to make ten alt accounts to harass him with transphobia. Lots of different accounts with a prior history, just pivoting to transphobic harassment right after they express a problem with his moderation. I gotta tell you, whoever is attacking that mod is fucking up if their intent is to hurt him, because he gets tons of sympathy and good PR about the whole thing. Lots of people go from being neutral to being on his side, because everyone who criticizes him suddenly turns out to be a transphobe. It's really strange.

    And Lemmy users are voluntarily consenting to become disenfranchised. They're doing the billionaires' work for them.

    They're voluntarily agreeing to stay home on election day, let Trump win, and kill the Palestinian protest movement by giving people new problems to worry about.

    If it weren't for these non voters, Kamala would have won and we'd currently be forcing her to divest from Israel. But instead we have Trump bombing Iran on Netanyahu's orders and we have to do No Kings instead of No Israel. We're stretched too thin because of these guys.

    I find irrational hope and irrational despair equally easy to understand, but I'm always gonna side with irrational hope over irrational despair.

    What I don't understand is thinking that irrational hope is a billionaire ploy but irrational despair isn't. Have you seen the world in the last 6 years? The billionaires love despair and hate hope.

    I'm on the Wachowskis' side with thinking that love and hope are inherently revolutionary. All of their movies are about people who believe in hope overthrowing the ruling class. The Matrix, V for Vendetta, Speed Racer...

    A while ago I asked "Who is impersonating everyone involved in Draconic NEO drama?" Today I'm asking, who's doing it again?

    There's another post on Ye Power Trippin Bastards where a user got banned for voting, and there's another batch of throwaway alts posting transphobia.

    I don't know who's making all these alts, but the only person that post and this post have in common is Draconic, and this whole harassment alt thing sure is taking attention off of his moderation decisions...

     

    Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7 Rule 7

    There are 9 rule 7s here and 4 of them are obviously written by communists criticising liberals. Rule 7 is supposed to protect the community from libs but the biggest turbolib I see here is db0.

    Fuck's sake this is worse than lemmy.ml

     

    What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.

    The whole point of Jesus is that he's a blood sacrifice to redeem people's sins. He's an infinitely good being, so his sacrifice has infinite value. The idea is that anyone who accepts Jesus into their heart can sacrifice him atemporally and get their sins redeemed.

    Netanyahu seems to be attempting a genocide of the Jewish people by forcing them all to worship Jesus, by committing crimes in their name of a magnitude that perhaps no earthly ritual can repent.

     

    I'm sick of Kwin. I like the way it looks, but its focus stealing protection is broken. I like to tab out and read ebooks while my games are on loading screens. Some games decide to take focus while they're in the middle of a loading screen. That's why I configured Kwin with high focus stealing protection, and extreme on those particular games. Sadly, it doesn't work. There's no raising protection, and the "keep below other windows" rule is completely nonfunctional. Also, some of the Kwin maintainers are assholes.

    I want to try a new window manager. One with strong focus stealing and raising protection. And I'm on NVIDIA, so no Wayland for me yet. Any recommendations?
