There is no good chocolate, only Albanese.

And you can all thank me after your first order. The dark chocolate almonds are cherry fresh almonds and chocolate that is just . . . well Hawk Tuahy.

Pretty sure I know where DATF’s tattoo is located.

How did you know?!

Saw a reference to PatNet on SS ~2019. First, lurked for your memes and then your contributors after a while.

Mixed bag, and my bag is resting on DATF’s chin after the Hawk Tuah comment.

Always entertaining.

It was a tough puzzle. You are a pretty subtle guy.

HotFrog11221963 How did you happen to find patrick.net?

So, do you want more users? If you do, users could cross post PatNet on their Xitter, SS, telegram, ect.

You'll do.

Welcome to the shit show!

DATF says:

Thank you, so that would mean . . .

Chocolate voucher?

Back to semi-serious discourse.

I have tried social media a few times over the years. Always, I found the set up to be toxic.

Facebook. Oh, be my friend.

Ah, no.

Twitter, censorship extravaganza. Continues under Musk.

AceOfSpades. Ok, totally weirded. The way the site was set up it was a bizarre competition for who could suck dik best. And Ace is a creepy drunk. Prone to bans for imagined insults. I should visit to see if creepiness continues.

Some of the SS authors are similar. S. Hana para exemplar. Lotta Hawk Tuah going on her (his) pee pee. Interesting but manically toxic.

Also on SS lots of obvious ContOp.

And now the new Elon Xitter. What a piece of demoralizing crap platform. I am planning a post on this topic.

Anyway, in a very fucked up world this seems the most sane virtual I have encountered. And, I have been lurking a very long time.

How would users do that? Manually?

I'm a programmer, so maybe I could facilitate it.

And yes, I think more users would be good. Currently, it's kind of like an old bar where everyone knows each other, but it's fun to have new people too.

Well, I am going to continue to play in Xitter for a while, so will promo you when seems reasonable.

Sorry, saw this comment late.

Totally not complicated. All your users are on various platforms. Just ask them to promote.

Chocolates?

Ok, here is my Xitter profile. All your members could do the same. I will refine. It is late in Brasil. boa noite.

Francis, is that you?

Ok, you could eliminate GNL and PatNet would be improved.

I don't know what the Karen comment was about, but my only real rule for the site is not to deliberately insult the other users personally, because that really kills the conversation. Please hit "flag" if you see direct personal insults like that.

Hit me up on my email if you want a convo.

Or block me, but suffering ignorant troll insults like GNL is not on my life list.

He's mostly good, really don't know why he said that.

You can also email me any time: p@patrick.net

Especially when offering opportunities for expanding your base.

I am confident GNL trying to FTU is someone you do not need on your board.

BTW, why are you in Brazil? I've got a friend named Patrick in Natal if you're anywhere near there.

If I banned anyone who is even a little dickish there would be no one left. I myself get accused of dickism now and then.

Drinking might be involved. NK.

It happens.

I like smart dickish like DATF but stupid insults to a new member without reason? Yah whatever, it’s your site.

North West of Rio.

Flagging personal insults works pretty well.

Note you can easily see anyone's comment history by clicking his name or icon, then the "authored N. comments" link.

You can see that GNL doesn't usually insult anyone:

https://patrick.net/comments?a=GNL

Catch you later. And my opinion is you should not suffer the misbehavior of GNL. But it’s your board.

Later,

Neal

And as an addendum, the kind of shitty, small dog barking at the ankles behavior of GNL will drive off new members.

My tolerance level for stupid fuckery is fairly high.

GNL is cosmically resistant to presented fact while asking the same questions over and over. He's a stall when you need a start.

Until they do. “Oooohh, mammy we did not know. GNL was always such a good boy.”

Or, was it an autistic moment by GNL trying to imitate the unsurpassed humor of DATF?

Ceffer says

We all have tattoos of Patrick on our arms

yup

I don't know whether to be flattered or creeped out, lol

It seems my comment had some truth to it maybe? Look at his opening comment about Elon and Twitter. And lo and behold he’s already advocating censorship and banning. Too rich.

@GNL it was pretty dickish of you to insult a newcomer off the bat imho.

I totally agree with him about Elon and Twitter btw.

personal

What are my choices? I can't personally moderate everything. I don't want to get into the AI-based censorship game.

I still think flagging is pretty good. If it's personal, flag it. If people get personal over and over without end, then I run everything they say through moderation.

I will think on it, but suffering this level of misbehavior seems unsustainable to me.
