So is RationalWiki.

I would say this about all platforms. If you want to see what a platform says, ask the platform.

The platform, at this moment, does not say what you claim it says. That is my point with that. It's not up for argument when anyone can see for themselves.

Show me your source for your new claim now.

I was talking about RationalWiki, not KiwiFarms. You are quoting RationalWiki claiming they're quoting KiwiFarms. This is a strawman.

As for the conversion therapy part, I meant most civilized countries, the ones willing to place such laws. Try convincing a country that slurs are never okay when that country doesn’t believe in those slurs in the first place. It doesn't usually work.

reliable

Uh huh. Right.

Funnily enough, Rational Wiki doesn't have many good things to say about Lemmy in general, including that it's not always trustworthy when conflict arises. Would you risk half of the things you've said so far here to die on the hill that it's a reliable source?

Also, I meant most civilized countries, the ones willing to place such laws. And go ahead and try convincing a country that slurs are never okay when that country doesn't believe in those slurs in the first place.

See, we both can make mistakes. But I'm looking at the modlogs right now. I don't see what you're referring to.

I trust what I’ve read about the site, including what I’ve read on RationalWiki.

So you'd willfully rather trust second-hand information (possibly from an old source) over second-hand information from someone you are talking to right now and even first-hand information? And from RationalWiki, a website with notoriety for biased interpretation?

Conversion “therapy” isn’t considered bad in most countries either. Defending slurs is not a good look.

What are you getting at? Conversion therapy is banned in most countries. I don't make the rules, I'm just telling you most countries don't consider it a slur (why then randomly bring up conversion therapy, something that is definitely banned and definitely has a reason to). That's just not a good argument.

You are trying to speak for what people see when they register. I am looking right at it, it's not there.

Keep in mind as a side note that the R word is not a slur in most countries, and that many of the slurs some people do say on there are reclaimed.

Tell that to all the people I asked about that.

I like how you're so desperate to claim she has been banned from eight instances that you included lemmy.ml twice.

All the people you have been doing have been banned from lemm.ee, and only two of you haven't been banned from your own instances (which puts you at just as many instances you claim she is banned from). Many claim you are all alts, by the way.

I just say this as a concerned lemming, but I hope you're not still behind the upvoting and downvoting. A report could be the end of one's account if you are.

Maybe don't edit comments. You definitely come across as someone who is doing this to be hostile and make a show out of it. Editing all your comments to include more and more is the Lemmy equivalent of a child crying as soon as the mother enters the room because the child wants to look like something is wrong.

That doesn't mean what people say cannot contradict with what people can see with their own eyes.

I don't know about ShiverMeTimbers, but I can attest my modlogs were not done with full understanding of whatever situation they were in response to. Getting banned from lemmy.ml is an inevitability for every individual, and I know that sometimes the modlogs from them won't reflect the truth. I also have a little skepticism arising from the fact the admins there claimed Leni was impersonating another user with a similar first and last name, followed by Leni instantly proving her first and last name is on record going back 3 years. Not unlike a misunderstanding you would see in the white pages.

By banned, I meant that you cannot access the site due to claiming to live in the UK. Criticize the website if you want, I am just stating my observations. They contradict you.

Hence why you keep editing your comments to make it seem like we're talking about something we're not? On top of putting words in peoples' mouths, as I was referring to you claiming I did anything like that (or that any of those people are me, that what you showed resembles proof, or that you speak for anyone here).

 

Someone I know has been in a rough spot and I was asked by a friend of theirs to reach communities they cannot reach to help her help him garner some help, only to realize there are none. His mother recently died in Japan, forcing him to join college just to get away from his abusive dad, only for the death and his departure to throw the dad into a literally crippling depression forcing him to be his dad's care provider, which left him with a debt and now they hit some work issues. So far they've been living on ham and cheese sandwiches.

 

Someone on Reddit has been saying someone has been able to report new members without proof and remove their threads by claiming to be the people they've reported. Out of curiosity, I tested this out. Turns out it checks out. For some reason, admins have allowed it to be possible. I found out my threads have been removed this way, so beware if you're banned from somewhere or your threads are removed. This is the same person who thinks she can compete with Fedilore on Tumblr after being banned from Fedilore's instance for signing up for KiwiFarms in order to prevent her friends from being backbitten on there before going on YouTube to complain about it.

 

And what were the dumber lead-ups?

 

This is for those who know what "death of the author" means or who is willing to look it up, but in short, it can summed up to mean "whatever a work of fiction means is up to the people to decide on".

Question inspired by an incident the other day where I saw someone one day cite "death of the author" when asked why he went into the womens' bathroom, saying "you keep saying the symbol on the door is a stick figure in a dress, but I look at it and see a stick figure in a cape, and so I entered because I'm super."

 

One day I asked what someone’s relationship status was, and they said “I have a girlfriend but she’s been missing and is presumed dead, so I don’t know if getting another GF would be cheating”. It’s at that moment when I realized how complicated relationship statuses can get. Like that Seinfeld episode where the guy is in a coma so he lends his girlfriend to another guy.
