I have reasons, I'll just copy paste a previous response:
Trolling .ml (or Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I'm just finally looking at those links that you list. Based on just the first couple of "quotes", they're not direct quotes but your interpretation of what they're saying. I get it that you hate lemmy.ml and the Lemmy devs, but this is pretty poor behavior to claim that those are direct quotes.
"Uyghur atrocity propaganda equate birth control with genocide." Is his literal words for the first one, some are memes and you almost have to interpret into a quote. How do you directly quote a meme?
Besides, here's one that just happened earlier today, no quotes no interpretation other than saying what happened (banning people who call out Russian propaganda): https://lemmy.zip/post/53268068
And those are only highlights, the megathread has many MANY examples
Please explain how:
"It's kinda funny because the evangelicals like Zenz peddling the Uyghur atrocity propaganda equate birth control with genocide. Plus many of them think that birth control also contributes to 'the white genocide'"
that Dessalines wrote becomes:
"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control!"?
How can you claim that that is a direct quote in your supposed dossier of Lemmy dev statements post that you keep spamming? It seems that many (most? all? I haven't reviewed all of them yet) of your other "quotes" are similar in nature - your own radically distorted interpretation of what they said.
I would be careful if I were you, because you could be opening yourself up to be sued for libel in some jurisdictions. You could easily correct this by making it clear in your posts that those are not direct quotes from the devs but your own paraphrases and reinterpretations.
That's what they want. They want you to never actually click a link, they want you to take their word for it.
Some of the stuff that's actually said it atrocious and disgusting. Some of it is hyperbole and out of context to make them look bad.
Meanwhile if we just post their actual wording and actual beliefs, people would side more against them.
If we mixed in hyperbole and bullshit with the real, it gives them ammo. It makes people second guess. It just muddies the water.
But they're on a tirade against weirdos online who think Russia is cool for various inconsistent reasons that contradict each other. So why not lie and repost memes manually? That's clearly a better time if someone's life.
Right. I feel that any argument one may have gets severely weakened by using distorted examples. If nothing else, any possible good examples get drowned out and discredited by bad examples that are easily verified to be bad.
Ans that's why I'm all for documenting bullshit of anyone, any organization, any company, anything, as long as it's documented verified shit.
Otherwise it just gives them ammo to ignore the reality and say if 40% if false, then 100% must be.
I agree!
They also really hate when you say this when they do their spamming of their mega thread.
