Same here, but it’s risky since a semi-regular user recently got banned for what seems like no reason. My guess is his talking about Admiral Patrick and was culled. The user has no idea what happened, just woke up banned.
Meh. It is just the internet. Janitors can do crazy things given a modicum of power. Luckily, it is so incredibly low stakes, that it just isn’t worth being upset over lol.
Hmmmmmm. So you’re saying there’s no sense in even getting upset over trivial small potatoes stuff. Ok. Ok, I can work with that. So if someone does something against you, you won’t even worry about it if it’s small enough.
Alright.
steals $40 out of your wallet
Is $40 worth engaging in a fight to get your money back? Is it worth a fist fight where you might get a concussion? I’ll be long gone by the time cops show up. So I can just keep this $40? Cool.
Hey, come back tomorrow with $40 again. I could get used to this.
That’s a pure mastercrafted, genuine, bonafide Strawman.
We aren’t talking about money here. Or anything of real value. We’re talking about interacting with randos on the internet. It’s fun. It’s interesting. It is completely superfluous and not necessary. Fedihosting Stichting could decide they don’t wanna bother with this any more, and a large chunk of the fediverse goes poof. There is no permanence on the internet. Even the archives are spotty. I’ve cycled through so many aggregators, forums, IRC channels, XMPP whatever from the early internets to now. It all turns to mulch eventually. Meta will ditch facebook once enough of the olds die off. Reddit will be another Digg someday. So, getting a ban and getting butthurt over it is simply not worth the energy. I’ve given my share of fucks and none of it mattered. This too doesn’t matter.
I think you have a few things a bit misunderstood.
Loosing $40 to learn someone you thought was a friend is actually a piece of shit, is honestly rather cheap. You know not to ever trust them with anyone or anything again. Now, saying that, you barrow $40 from me and don’t pay it back you’ll never see so much as a kind word spared for you in the future. I’ll not be upset though. Seems your integrity is worth less than a good bag of weed. Says more about you than i think you understand.
Having to make a new account takes about 1 minute so that’s probably worth about 50c, if you stole two quarters from my wallet I would most likely not even notice, unless it happened 50 times.

Are there tools that scrape your account and let you download your posts, comments and uploaded media?
Just in case.
(In my case, I lost over six months of content when lemm.ee went offline. I don’t want something like that to happen again.)
I feel you, my thought exactly. Which is why it’s nuts someone is allowed to shadow antagonize and everyone is expected to ignore it.
As for tools, I’m pretty sure there but I haven’t done it myself, sorry. But given recent events, I probably should look into it.
That sucks, but switching to another (friendlier) instance is always an option.
Is there a list of friendlier instances? There’s so many anymore, might be worth listing here if this continues.

oh, OP isn’t a friend. I don’t know them in any way. I am a stranger who just took $40.
