RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

The fact there's nothing I can't do to hurt him or his reputation in any way pisses me off.

Unrelated, but I think I got cancer from that font

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Nah the font is very much related.

Your trolling content creators, not all of them are going to take your negative comments well

Am i crazy to think the most efficient way to handle this is to just disengage? Why report it when the outcome of reporting the person is limited by their ability to respond appropriately to social variables that are directed to them?

Let's assume youtube has a perfect response platform for these scenarios. They take all the appropriate actions in the most pefect timely manor. At what point in this scenario do you see a positive outcome from this? Is it more likely the offender gets banned from YouTube and never returns to the social media ether at any level? Or is it more likely the offender has his 250,000 cronies take their side and they use your, albeit justified, response as a reason to rally the troops in a counter attack against YouTube or god forbid you, yourself.

Noone who has 250,000 people in their corner is going to take any action against their image laying down.

It sucks ass but the right move is to be the bigger person and just leave it all at face value which absolutely nothing.

Someone once told me not to let myself get worked up over anything I won't remember in 3 years. Test it out. How many exact scenarios can you remember from 3 years ago where you were stressed out and still get stressed when you think back on it? 4 maybe 5 scenarios at most? Will this be something if you dropped it today, that will haunt you 3 more years from now?

I still remember the insults and bullying from 20 years ago.

If you are 30 to 40 years old and something like being bullied 20 yeardon't still stresses you out then it might be something you should find a shrink to help you with because at 30 or 40 years old you should have enough emotional intelligence at this point in life to not be so affected by this like you are. Not being a dick just speaking from the experience of working on my own emotional intelligence and being in that 30-40 year old age range. There is a lot to say about getting help from a shrink but honestly it mostly comes from people who should prolly be seeing a shrink themselves but dont.

With that being said i do want to point out that my original 3 year anecdote requires you to get stressed out over the memories. Meaning there is a difference between remembering something stressfull from 3 years ago and being stressed by something you remember from 3 years ago. Sorry if I explained that poorly in my first comment.

Yeah I'm going to withhold judgement until I see the initial comment they were replying to. I doubt a 250K sub YouTuber is randomly finding commenters to get in fights with. And if they are, they're not going to last long as a YouTuber.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If he told you that, you could always report him. The people in charge don't tend to like people saying that.

And if they don't do anything, well, given the stuff you may or may not have said, I'm sure there's a double-edged sword there.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Agreed. Report his comment; he has to censor it because it's not allowed on the site and he's trying to evade detection

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago

Are you proud?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

The fact there's nothing I can't do to hurt him or his reputation in any way pisses me off.

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