Thank you lord for this feast you have blessed me with.

How much worse it must be for the people in the lemmieverse (are we calling it that?) who don’t have accounts on awful.sys directly. The neuralink is life extension (unless you are a monkey) that proves Ray is right person is still going at it.

oh I’m not at all surprised. part of why we ban early and often is it’s very easy for posters like that to flood threads with utter bullshit, beyond anyone’s amusement but their own, much faster than anyone can respond with anything approaching the truth (because writing truth takes time, but being a big pain in the ass fanboy for a telephone psychic takes no time at all)

As @soyweiser@awful.systems says, this is not just an eyesore for people not on awful.sys, but unmoderated bullshit that is, for some reason, being federated out to everyone (except awful.sys).

I bring this up because this is some fresh new jank, not from concentrate: who is supposed to moderate hate speech or disinformation that is being spread in this way? Why does lemmy federate comments from banned people? This happens in techtakes as well, another user has no idea they’re banned, posts regularly and is having conversations [removed link] with no indication that this guy is persona non grata.

ah that guy’s on mathstodon

I meant the user they’re speaking to, compare to [removed link]

EDIT: spoke to self, just more free jank, almost all of the visibility should be gone for the banned to howl into the void as intended.

it’s only a sneer if it’s from the Snierre region of awful systems, on mastodon it’s just sparkling snideness

wonder if it’d be worthwhile to make an AP mod that replies to banned posters with “ur bannd dumbo”

I guess it’s not a great idea because a lot of the Indignant types are probably likely to then start alt-accounting

there were guys i muted on twitter and would occasionally see still reply-guying months later, oblivious

also that conversation looks like it’s happening on the mastodon bits of the fedi

eventual consistency (of porridge)

in the brained stem. straight up “shorkening it”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s just say. My liffspan

The neuralink … person is still going at it

shouting into the void with all their being. willing, nay, DARING it to shout back. entirely unawares that the void does not care about them.

Nah they are not shouting into the void, others from outside the instance are interacting with them.

sympathies for the fallen

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

[Especially don’t debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
