calling other users bots is dehumanizing

your accusation of bad faith is, itself, bad faith

do you know how I know that you didn’t read the article?

that blog post and petition are significantly more than just saying it’s stupid

as was already said elsewhere, advocating for an emoji is silly, and advocating against one might be sillier.

maybe you should use the public infrastructure.

maybe no one you talk to, but I assure you, it happens. it is happening right now, in this conversation

while there may not be an emoji for http, maybe there should be. there is sort of an unofficial one (a broken lock), and there are other protocols that have logos. as another commenter said, it’s kind of silly to fight for an emojii for it, and probably sillier to fight against it.

the sewer is infrastructure. i don’t think you understand the network protocol.

if you can’t present evidence, then you’re just spreading uncertainty and doubt.

if this is true, there would be some evidence

yes, it is. anyone can spin up a node or download the blockchain or make an address.

Bitcoin is a network protocol. not a brand.

I have too big a mouth to let injustice happen in front of me or to me and not tell someone they fucked up

your philosophy of Anarchy… seems to be very rule heavy.

rules without rulers.

i don’t tell you what to do. please extend the same courtesy.

maybe dm’s are better than quick banning, but my banning preference is for shoot-first-ask-questions-later, but short bans. a 1 to 3 day ban is better in most circumstances for most offenses. even repeated bad behavior, i feel should see the same term unless the bans themselves become burdensome to the mods.

i can see the case for dm’s for suspected bots though.

this account is 8 days old. i’ve been around the fediverse since 2015, and on lemmy with gusto since 2023.

most are unlikely to come back

ok. well you’re saying you’d rather preserve interactions from someone you suspect of being a bot, but bot interactions themselves are bad? the experience is the same. but from a user persectiveo having my comment responded to by other users in public saying “you’re just a bot” “you’re a shill” “ignore previous instructions…” etc… that shit is toxic. it needs to NOT happen. keeping that shit out of the inbox is far preferable if all i have to do is send a dm to a mod.

? just ban it. people appeal unjust bans.
