…or they’re not, in-fact, banning people simply for using VPN. Or is that not a possibility even?
Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.
I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.
…or they’re not, in-fact, banning people simply for using VPN. Or is that not a possibility even?
Not in my experience. I’ve been browsing Reddit exclusively via VPN for 10+ years.
Getting banned from Lemmy is orders of magnitude easier. During my 10+ years on reddit I can only remember one occasion when I got banned from a sub but it has happened on Lemmy multiple times over the 1.5 years I’ve been here and comments being removed is a regular thing.
On reddit you need to actually break the rules. On Lemmy it’s enough that a mod doesn’t like what you’re saying.
So the previous accusation didn’t quite stick so lets ignore that and start accusing me of something else instead.
Except that if you read it again, you’ll see that it’s not, in fact, a blanket statement. I intentionally avoid speaking in absolutes, and I refrained from doing so here as well, buddy.
You asking wether people making blanket statements have any nuance in their views?
In the most cases I’d say no.
Once the land bridge to their naval base is cut, the only other supply route there except by air is from the baltic sea. That’s quite the detour.
“I’m not interested in trying to convince you otherwise” is such a simple statement, yet you keep asking the same thing again and again. If this is too difficult of a concept for you to comprehend I can’t possibly imagine you grasping my nuanced view on any of the subjects you mentioned. I’ve engaged with enough of people like you to know to pick my battles.
I’m not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.
I cannot defend nor explain the cause for a view I don’t hold.
I’m not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.
You’re free to think of me what you want. I’m not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.
You already said “I’ll take that as a yes” and that’s more than fine by me. You’re free to think of me what you want. I’m not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.
No need to apologize. I’m only amused by this.
Please, tell me more about me. It’s my favourite subject.
Oh no! A random person on the internet thinks I’m something I’m not. How can I ever recover from this.
As a Finn, I’ve often wondered about the same thing. In the summer the air is filled with mosquitos and in the winter it hurts your face and lungs yet some people were like “yep, we’ll settle here”
No, but intentions matter. Autistic people are often socially awkward, blunt or clunky as well, but you wouldn’t call them a dipshit because of it, would you?
If what I’m saying even remotely resembles something your caricature of the “other” might say, then the only logical conclusion, of course, is that I must be exactly like them.
So you know he had good intentions yet you’re still calling him a dipshit.
I think one of the few things Lemmy is better at is that I can go into 8hr old thread with 120 replies and write a comment and then have people actually read that comment too and react to it.
With 99% of AskReddit threads for example, posting a reply was complete waste of time unless you were among the first ones in. Almost all of the top comments were always also among the first comments.
