I don’t plan to stop so long as you’re all staying around to make lemmy interesting to me, so thanks for being part of the same community. I’m proud to call this my home and all of you my m@tes!

I'll drink to that!

I don't have a lot more to contribute, since db0 did such a good job of summarizing everything. Just wanted to mention that I really enjoy being able to hang out in the community we have grown into. And also a big shoutout to the other admins, who are an exceptionally thoughtful, sincere and hard working bunch of people - it's been a great pleasure getting to know y'all and thanks for donating your time and expertise to keep the ship afloat.

I guess you could also say something like, "her body type is atypical" to avoid confusion. From your other comments here it's pretty clear that's what you meant. And I agree with you that video game representations of women in particular are often problematic, as they are mostly unrealistic, highly sexualised, and created that way for the primary purpose of being objectified by men.

In this case I think CLM is the closest assessment, because I think it's obvious to a native English speaker that it could be interpreted both ways, so it should have been clarified before mod action was taken.

And that's how it's supposed to work folks. Cudos.

Narrator: In this comment, Rekorse had failed to understand the difference between the pop culture use of the term "anarchy" meaning "no rules" and the political theory of Anarchism, which if it was distilled into a sound bite would be something like "no state". Maybe he was confusing us with Freeze Peach Libertarians? Perchance we'll never know.

It's disturbing just how effective this campaign has been. I think part of the reason is that many admins just tend to go along with the consensus when these things are occurring, because it's easier to take someone's word for whats going on than actually look at all the details, especially when it's been playing out over years now. We've all been guilty of this.

But the fact is:

• trolls exist
• trolls can use a vpn
• trolls can create an impersonation account and act like an insane arsehole
• trolls can report that account as being an alt of universal monk

Multiply that a dozen times and you have a successful mud slinging campaign to get someone multi-instance banned.

Tbh, I don't give much credence to the reports about Universal Monk. It's not hard to imagine a couple of trolls spinning up fake "alt" accounts to impersonate him and to get him instance banned over his vote third party stance. You know how unhinged the Democrats get when someone tries to vote with their values.

Anyway, whatever they have been accused of doing in the past, their account on dbzer0 has been pretty wholesome overall. We decided to give him a second chance here. Let bygones be bygones and all that. And so far at least, no problems. Make of that what you will.

I already raised that concern as well, but I do think it's worth a try. Would be great to dupe the functionality of the NSFW tag for this purpose.

Or was it Mike Macaroni?

You remind me of a friend of mine, Frank Fusilli.

And contributions welcome, probably.

I forgot to mention I was joking :p
