A lurker of PatNet since 2019, checked in almost daily for funny shit and 70/30 sane commentary.

I was also a long time Nitter lurker, but Elon destroyed Nitter. Decided to try X, mostly as an exercise in discerning how the New Censorship Game would be played by Elon.

After 3 months on Xitter, I conclude it is toxic, and malignant.

I think Elon and his hag Linda are dark creepy people.

But, I want to stay reasonably informed. Without an overload of psychosis. Sooooo, I joined PatNet.

Now, when might I expect my voucher for a fruit basket and chocolates?

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.


How would users do that? Manually?

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


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.

Ok, you could eliminate GNL and PatNet would be improved.
26   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 6:12pm  

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.
27   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 6:18pm  

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.
28   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 6:19pm  

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

You can also email me any time: p@patrick.net
29   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 6:21pm  

Especially when offering opportunities for expanding your base.

I am confident GNL trying to FTU is someone you do not need on your board.
30   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 6:21pm  

BTW, why are you in Brazil? I've got a friend named Patrick in Natal if you're anywhere near there.
31   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 6:22pm  

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.
32   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 6:24pm  

Drinking might be involved. NK.
33   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 6:25pm  

It happens.
34   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 6:26pm  

I like smart dickish like DATF but stupid insults to a new member without reason? Yah whatever, it’s your site.
35   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 6:27pm  

North West of Rio.
36   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 6:29pm  

Flagging personal insults works pretty well.
37   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 6:30pm  

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:

38   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 6:31pm  

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

Later,

Neal
39   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 6:36pm  

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.
40   Ceffer   2024 Jun 29, 6:49pm  

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?

yup
44   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:05pm  

I don't know whether to be flattered or creeped out, lol
45   GNL   2024 Jun 29, 7:06pm  

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.
46   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:08pm  

@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.

48   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:18pm  

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.
49   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 7:22pm  

I will think on it, but suffering this level of misbehavior seems unsustainable to me.
50   GNL   2024 Jun 29, 7:28pm  

@Patrick, btw I don’t remember calling HotDog a name.
51   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:30pm  

You said "You come across as a Karen."
52   stereotomy   2024 Jun 29, 7:33pm  

To answer the OP - for the bumperstickers, of course.

Do you find his comment here interesting?

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

Already throwing down what seems to be ultimatums.

That's not calling him a Karen, technically.
55   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:36pm  

We'd all be better off attacking the Dems instead of each other.
56   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:38pm  

Optimal strategy on this site:

1. Don't deliberately insult the other users personally.
2. Keep a thick skin. Politics is inherently inflammatory.
57   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:41pm  

Every time I slack off even a little on flagging personal insults on this site, I regret it.

Is it really? You got triggered at the first “ankle bite”.

That's us.

He did improve Twitter if even just a little bit.
