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?

@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.

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."

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.

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.

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

That's us.

He did improve Twitter if even just a little bit.
61   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:48pm  

In some ways, but he did shut down Nitter, and he blocked me just like I was getting blocked before, for things I should be able to say in public, like "Trans is mental illness."
62   GNL   2024 Jun 29, 7:48pm  

HotFrog11221963 says

Not re-editing an accurate comment about GNL.

GNL posed a Shitty and Stupid insult without any provoc, prompt, and without any humor.

In fact the stupid shitty insult by GNL was in response to a conversation about how to expand PatNet audience. So positive conversation interposed by retarded or drunk insult.

I do not need that in my life.

Very Xitterish.

@Patrick, is that personal?
63   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:48pm  

Yes, that is personal. Will flag.
64   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 7:49pm  

Why did you delete my new thread “PatNet Hall of Shame?”

If you want people to behave better, then calling out stupidly bad behavior is your only option.

Public shaming works and it is a lost art.

Fags thinking they deserve pride is a perfect example.

I reserve judgement on a newbie. He may be a Democrat. We don’t know yet. Triggered people are usually Demonrats.

Because you deliberately insulted another user.

THE rule here is easy: do not deliberately insult the other users, no matter what. Flag insults and I'll get notified.

Most people are OK, just requires a little bit of forbearance on both sides.

What’s personal? Calling out shitty insults?

Why the invisible request to flag?

I smelled it out very quickly. I have mad respect for you @Patrick.
70   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:55pm  

OK, wish granted.

You're welcome back if you can refrain from personally insulting other users no matter what.
71   anonymous   2024 Jun 29, 7:56pm  

Oh my goodness, your hypocrisy.

Insulted a member! Yah, ok Karen.
72   Patrick   2024 Jun 29, 7:57pm  

I don't see anything hypocritical about having a rule against deliberately insulting the other users.

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

Are you sure I didn’t get this correct?

Shit! My meme library has grown over the years. Especially in the past week.

Fixed it for you.

Cognitive dissonance leads to ostrich syndrome.
