Ignoring the points of the argument, you have to tell them to “disengage” with nothing else posted in your comment to them. I have a troll following me around every time I talk about a certain topic and the only way to get them to stop (for a brief moment) is to say “disengage.” I’ve made it clear I don’t want to talk to them anymore, multiple times, but still I have to type “disengage” every time they reply to me the same exact bad faith shit they always say.

If you don’t want to deal with them altogether, you have to consider blocking them. The troll I’ve been dealing with has tried to egg me and others into blocking them, they celebrate each time they get blocked. So I also understand if you don’t want to block them, they are miserable people who enjoy feeding on negativity. The fact trolls roam lemmy can dampen your enjoyment, it really does suck.

Gotta go with YDI here. This was posted in a mental health community which has this rule:

All posts and comments must be helpful and supportive. Do not put vulnerable people at risk.

OP was venting about their abusive parents and the mental health problems they struggle with because of that abuse. You were not helping OP. OP’s story resonated with me and I absolutely would not want to read your comment if I were them, I would be pretty offended by it.

“People living in places where temperatures are at or above 90 degrees F for half of the year have experienced up to 14 months more biological aging compared to people living in areas with fewer than 10 days of temperatures at or above 90 degrees.”

Damn, I’ve had heat exhaustion and heat rashes but never heat stroke. I had problems every year until I got an a/c. There goes 14 months of aging.

Here is a screenshot of the comment:

Personally, I pirate just about everything but do buy what I like from indie devs. Bonus if it is on GOG.

Like warm apple pie.

I’ve played so many it is hard to have a favorite. I like when different games try to incorporate romance, but I still prefer visual novels. I have played so many where you are a guy romancing women (these usually are bad quality and an excuse to see sex, I am fine with sex but at least emphasize the romance) but have been getting into otome games where you are a woman romancing guys. There are still bad tropes in some of these games, like noncon (I only do consensual). There are also queer games like Dream Daddy I enjoyed.

For non-VN I would say I liked Bioware’s games, Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon games, Story of Seasons games, Rune Factory games, Persona games, Divinity Original Sin 2, Baldurs Gate 3 (haven’t beaten yet, seems promising), Cyberpunk 2077 (Judy), Life is Strange, and Obsidian/Bethesda (sorta).

I enjoy well-done romance in games. It’s just a taste thing.

Ahoy ye maties! I be one o’ the new admins ‘n am happy t’ be on the crew! 🏴‍☠️

A little about me: I’ve been pirating since I was a teenager and gravitated towards this instance because of it, I am a FOSS and privacy enthusiast, and since joining lemmy I have become ✨radicalized✨. I’m a bi cis woman and my pronouns are she/her on the internet, nobody knows you’re a woman. I have 2 senior dogs I love very much. I like anime, art, and video games. I also ate too much imposter chik’n and am now going to pass out.

I just read this on chapo.chat, what a rollercoaster ride! You can read the admin update here, it looks like they will keep their domain since the auction was cancelled🤞

It’s still up and on the megathread. I was downloading Xbox 360 games from it the other day.

Vimm’s Lair

Hexbear can’t federate but you can see their content at: https://chapo.chat/

??? I have no idea what you are on about. I know you definitely wrote the content because you claimed to have written the content. I understand you are exhausted but I really don’t want to talk about this anymore.

I looked at the user you linked but they do not sound how I was describing. The question they asked was confusing but it was not a rambling nightmare. Look at these two links:

https://lemm.ee/post/53623301 (this is your post in c/PTB)

https://www.tumblr.com/deviantartdramahub/774992292343873536/hello-i-am-new-here-i-came-over-from-the-lemmy?source=share (this is what you linked to as your perspective)

The above is definitely you (long walls of text, incoherent at times, my brain feels like it is melting, I do not understand your point, etc.). I knew this post was pretty much you because it sounds just like the links I linked to above. That’s why I thought you were all the same person. I finally read your perspective on tumblr and it confirmed that this is a terminally online, possibly the dumbest drama I’ve read and I do not want to talk about it anymore.

Alright so whoever wrote “commission” used the wrong word. I can’t tell which parts were written by which person and that is a problem. You are doomed to repeat this drama until you all stop. IMO, you should especially fire whoever keeps writing posts like this from your writing group, it is written incredibly badly and uniquely identifies them.

Your analogy does not apply to this situation at all because this is an online anonymous discussion. If I were a mod and banned one of you for breaking a rule, I would ban the other because you all sound exactly the same and that is a red flag for ban evasion. There are no quotes used or any indicator that the account holder did not write the content. Lemmy does not have a ban evasion system the way reddit has, the two different instance admins can share with one another IP addresses and email addresses. This can be easily overcome. Whereas reddit invasively fingerprints you and even that can be side stepped.

There is no smoking gun for your side, this drama is so dumb and terminally online. I suggest if you want to quote one another, do it properly. I think that would clear up the misunderstanding. Or you are all trolls. Who knows.

If I sound like her, it’s because we commission messages and parts of messages stuff for each other

So you, Leni, shinigami, and who knows who else at this point all sound the same because you pay each other to write messages for one another? I admit you all sound the same and I thought you all were the same person: you write long walls of text, you put a bunch of random links in your messages (leading from tumblr to YouTube to deviant art, etc.), and I always feel like my brain is melting when I read your messages.

Did it occur to you that if all of you are writing messages for and with each other on a regular basis on your lemmy accounts to the point people can’t tell the difference, that you all are alts then? All 3 or more of you share these accounts like alts. All of you should stop doing that, all you’ve accomplished is confusion and misleading people into thinking you are trolls. Especially when you drag in Blaze, Cheese Greater, and Drag into this to create more drama? Either you are one singular troll, one person in a system, or separate individuals that are very misguided, possible trolls. This is dumb drama.

I’ve blocked a bunch of instances via Summit and never had a problem. I’ve blocked non-english and NSFW/porn instances. You could try posting in the community !summit@lemmy.world. It’s been working for be since before lemmy made blocking instances an actual feature.

Hexbear was banned because there is a crypto on https://hexbear.io/ and China banned all crypto. China does not actually care about lemmy so much that they blocked hexbear.
