Just wondering what the limit is on rule 2 as I see things like covid vaccine effect questions, what scams are still around and other spicy topics. Don't want to make anyone upset but it seemed odd.

we enjoy it as much as you, I don't think we're the ones stoking the flames here though.
the "other one in the dunk tank" is hosted on the hexbear instance, not here on asklemmy.ml, they're not run by the same moderators.

Oh I get the different instances and mods at play, and I would have made a similar post over on hexbear asking about it if the situation was reversed. I might feel my brain cells dying when reading stuff on the dunk tank but I still think people should be aloud to make posts.

the premise was bad and facilitated inflammatory interaction, just as with this post, and was removed. I don't see the issue here

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just with this post? What are you implying here?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am implying that you're continuing an already dealt with problem, that being an unnecessary complaint about a necessary mod decision on another instance. What's up with that?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The point of places like lemmy is to do just this? I get we are just going back and forth here but I asked a question (that was answered yes) not make a complaint. I don't think making a complaint was wrong ether (hence the question). You can stop responding whenever you wish, as can I, and I don't have an issue with communicating with you but somehow you seem to find it a problem?

Lemmy isn't a place. It's software used by others to create instances that they want to see exist.

Sorry, what you are describing sounds like it could be done on a local copy of notepad.

You're no longer making sense. Either you don't understand the tech or you're just spouting nonsense.
