Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Go read it. I have no idea what any of it means. I know what treacle means in the context of desserts, but not as a group of people. NSFW is obviously being changed to mean something specific, but no context is given for the change. The whole side bar is like one inside joke that doesn't make sense to anyone visiting, but you've got a post here welcoming new to say hi with no explanation as to what the community us about. Visitors are given no context, and I can't tell what any of the posts have to do with each other.

So, I guess, I meant exactly what I asked the first time.

here's a sparse intro and that's probably the extent of our customer service, you can pick up the rest by clicking links

i'm vaguely curious as to how you decided to come to someone else's server and demand they explain themselves to you, is this a thing you do a lot, but only vaguely

[–] Huxleywaswrite -3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I sort by new to look for new communities that are active while lemmy grows. The purpose of the side bar is to let visitors, who potentially would want to engage with your community, what you're about. Yours doesnt make any sense and you don't seem to want anyone to understand so fuck you and I'll just block your community. You must not have anything worth participating with is that's how you engaged with new people.

The feeling's mutual, to be clear. Your refund is enclosed.

Ah federation, when random drive-bys can comment telling you're doing it wrong...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's everything we hoped for. no wait, not "hoped".

[–] Huxleywaswrite 2 points 1 year ago

You do understand that this post is LITERALLY inviting guests to your community, and then you shit on people for asking what it is

[–] Huxleywaswrite -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or could just yell you what an unwelcoming community you've built. You guys belong back on reddit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao why did you invite people in here to vote on your comments

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey, everybody needs a hobby.

And some people are just really bad at picking them.

I mean I’m pro-irrationalism, which in part means I think all considered thought and behaviour is and should be conceptually posterior to wildly lived action. It’s just that hissy-fitting and conducting a vote “brigade” is so done

What in the fuck are you talking about?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Didn't you say you were blocking this instance?

Having rules about what the sidebar should say and how it should look like sounds like what a centralized system like Reddit would enforce, so I'm not sure I'm getting your point.

Anyway, I'm not a mod, I don't care about Lemmy microdrama, this is just the place people went to when the sub was put into lockdown. So far the results of federation are neutral-to-negative in my opinion.

[–] Huxleywaswrite 2 points 1 year ago

I have blocked your community buy people like you keep replying to me with dumb shit and I can't block you all preemptively.

No one is asking for rules, but if you make a post that invites visitors you should not be a total dick when someone asks what the community is about.

Fuck you all and quit messaging me

The purpose of the sidebar is what now

I love when people turn arbitrary social not even norms into moral imperatives

(growth hacker voice) I'm in...line to exceed Q3 revenue projections
