I need you to take a step back from the this post now. You’re continuing to be argumentative after a previous warning and it’s making this thread unpleasant. As you apologised and explained your first rule violation was a case of mistaken identity, I’m only going to ban you for a day and give you one more warning: Please read the rules in the side bar and lemmys code of conduct before participating here again. You will be permanently banned if you break the rules again. Thank you.

Once again, I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about now. I explained in another thread why I personally think lemmy/Reddit is different from other social media, but we’re not talking about that now, I’m talking to you as a moderator for breaking the rules in your replies to someone else. That’s why I distinguished these comments as “from the moderator”.

I’m not upset with Twitter, I don’t use it to tweet myself. I’m not being a hypocrite and I’m not banning anyone because they disagree with me. I’m banning you because you’ve broken the rules repeatedly, and continue to do so after I gave you three warnings. Your behaviour is not appropriate or welcome in this community.

I’m not a big Twitter user but how you know this isn’t a reply; firstly the date. The chimp tweet is 7 years old, the block conversation is from 3 days ago. Secondly, you see the white vertical lines between musks first and second tweet? That indicates it’s part of the same thread. The chimp tweet doesn’t have one because the woman has “quote tweeted” something he said in the past. Finally you see how “blocked” is in bold in his last tweet? That happens when you search for a word - it appears in bold in the results. I believe the woman went to musk’s profile and searched all his tweets for “blocked”. Then she quote tweeted it back to him in this conversation.

I warned the person who called you names and deleted their posts. What other people do or say isn’t an excuse for you to break the rules, it’s each individual’s responsibility to follow the rules of the community, the instance, and lemmy.

I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. That includes arguing for arguments sake and provoking arguments. According to lemmys code of conduct, users should report argumentative comments, then ignore them.

I gave you a soft warning for being argumentative with me with your “are you going to get mad at” comment you made to me personally earlier. This is your final warning; if you break the rules again you will be permanently banned from this community.

No problem, we all get carried away at times. I just really don’t want this to become Reddit so I try and implement the rules quite strictly. Thank you for sticking up for me in the thread above, I was beginning to question my sanity!

Arguing is against the rules of this community. I’m going to nuke this whole thread because it’s becoming nasty and that’s not welcome here either. Please read the rules and make sure you don’t break them again or you will be banned. Thank you.

Name calling is against the rules of this community and lemmy. I’m going to delete your comments that break the rules. Please don’t break the rules again of you will be banned. Thank you.

No worries, it’s hard it keep up! I was going to use Pinterest in an example but couldn’t remember if they were owned by someone else 🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s 3 days old. You joke, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he fired the policy advisors.

Apology accepted.

I think (I hope) the last line is from a completely different post, not a reply to the black woman. Tbh I thought it must have been a reply to someone with an NFT chimp avatar. It’s much nicer here in my naïve/sheltered mind than the real world 😕

I’m not mad and I’m confused why you think I am?

Personally, I consider lemmy and Reddit to be different from Facebook, Twitter and other social media. You generally don’t know any redditors/lemmings irl and in an anonymous forum it’s much easier to stay truly anonymous. On Facebook and I think soon on Twitter, you’re meant to use your real name and in some cases show government ID.

So no, I’m not mad at Lemmy developers, I’m not mad at anyone at the moment. But as someone who was stalked (thankfully before social media existed) I am concerned for other victims, particularly as Twitter doesn’t have moderators anymore. Even if they reinstated them, moderators can slow to act on such a large platform and they only enforce the rules of the platform - someone just reading your posts isn’t breaking any rules, yet they could be using that information to cause you a real-world harm. That’s why I think the block feature needs to exist, but it just my opinion. We can have different opinions without arguing.
