    Who said I wasn’t also doing that? It’s not mutually exclusive, just a quick way to get a read on people’s sentiment towards them and to try to figure out why people shut down discussion about them so consistently

            You are not a hexbear, nor are you a moderator

            If the people shutting down discussions like that are tankies then they’re a damn sight more subtle about it than literally having “Stalinism” in their username

              who said i’m trying to be subtle? Its not my style.

              I am a hexbear, double passport.

              Technically I mod the trans sublemmy on hex, but I have a little music sub on this account too. I dont care too much for it though, its all 1s and 0s.

      Because the truth is easier to find in person rather than through many other people’s filters, and the way you wrote it, it seemed like you thought that was a very stupid suggestion… Glad to hear you think it isn’t

        I thought it was a stupid assumption on their part that I wasn’t also poking around myself

        Yes that’s why science progresses the fastest when nobody’s collaborating and everybody starts from scratch

        … Wait

            Sounds like you expect a bar to never kick out annoying people because then the other customers didn’t get a chance to form their own opinion

              No? Because a bar isn’t a good metaphor and people can be shitty and it’s really easy to see for yourself on the Internet

                Why not? It’s easy to see for yourself in the bar too. You can just not listen, right?

                  ??? Okay so then they are forming their own opinions…? Which is why it’s a shitty metaphor. I don’t get why you’re using a stupid ass metaphor anyway not I’m going to pretend this stupid ass conversation isn’t happening anymore

                    So you don’t understand the actual point of throwing out people who misbehave? You don’t see the crowd vote to throw out a hooligan, people are perfectly happy with bouncers throwing out assholes.Why do you think people want to see those assholes online? Why do you think people want to have to dig through 300 bad comments to find 10 good ones? Why do you think people want to individually block every single annoying account showing up in their replies?
