  • Yeah this just about sums up my view of the situation.

  • Strong agree. Can't speak for anyone else, but here's me a few months ago thanking Ada specifically for this reason.

  • I never really liked this comic or the concept of sealioning because in this comic the ‘annoying’ entity is someone who is being outcasted based on their identity.

    While I understand and to some degree even share your feelings towards the original comic, the concept of sealioning that spawned from it is generally quite far divorced from that particular issue IME, which is why I focused my definition on the aspects of the behaviour that make it a PITA to deal with.

  • Ah yes, the myth of consensual succulent German meal. Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?

  • In my opinion, the .world crowd’s liberal and pro-colonialist/capitalist tendencies are a terrible fit for this community.

    I haven’t noticed this, personally.

    This is a pretty alarming sign for where lemmy.world/c/196 is headed tbh and it leads me to believe that what you're calling "heavy-handed" moderation on Ada's part is actually just her being able to notice shit that you don't.

  • or we could get new moderators to ask for control of this comm

  • They rescinded that statement, which I think is a good sign. We gave them feedback and they listened.

    Good. Your community is giving you feedback now.

  • It's a term in online parlance that makes reference to a comic, and it means someone who intrudes into someone else's space and derails their conversations under the pretext of civil disagreement.

  • Well, good luck. I mean it. I just wish this didn't mean that the existing community gets locked down.

  • Yeah, I don't want a bunch of incel losers who think men are entitled to sex from women to be allowed to express such opinions in this community. They're insufferable, I'm not sure why the mods think they're deserving of server space.

  • Yeah, here come the shitlibs and sealions, I guess.

  • Dotworld's admins just brought in a policy that specifically requires mods to be permissive of a certain degree of concern trolling and/or sealioning. Can you be sure you'll be able to moderate the community to the satisfaction of its existing userbase?

  • Indeed. Now you get it.

  • Darn it

  • Motorsports are boring, i dont care how fast ur cars are.

  • Climbing 89° slopes because they crave that mineral

  • That's the joke.

  • Yes there is (if you're wondering, it's the AI).
