Honestly, I’m really tired of this take. Humans are social creatures, it is normal to care about what others think of us and our contributions to the social fabric. Would you stay in a community where you were only ever downvoted because ‘you shouldn’t care about votes’? That sounds psychotic, or trolling. If somebody followed a stranger down the street shouting you suck every minute, would you tell them they shouldn’t be caring about that?
Not to pick on your comment specifically, I see this phrase all over and I know the intent is not to let online stuff affect your real life/determine your happiness. But the phrasing make it sound like people are crazy to care to care at all, when for the majority of human development the opposite is true and you be crazy not to.
Aglets. Can’t remember where I learned the word.
It’s fine, they’re phishing and hoping someone will bite. I got a version of this that listed a date and time they “hacked” me also. Too bad for the spammer they picked a day when the desktop was in the back of my car moving across the country! I got a few more over maybe 6 months? First in English, then Chinese, then Japanese…
Nothing will happen. Just delete it and forget about it.
You can never interact negatively with their decisions or thoughts. Downvotes disabled. Admin literally removing any opposing view while keeping positive ones.
I don’t disagree that this is concerning coming from an instance admin. But on the other hand, I can kinda understand where it might be coming from. The admin is a trans woman, and as such I’m sure she deals with enough shit IRL/online with people questioning her very right to exist. I bet anyone would get tired of making space for opposing opinions when frequently those opinions are hateful and dangerous and directed at one’s validity as a human being. I imagine she’s out of fucks all around now and acting accordingly, even in a circumstance that might call for more nuance. I can have empathy for that.
No opinion on the NSFW issue since I don’t want to interact with that content. Just wanted to gently remind that we’re all just people doing our best here.
