Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Insulting me won't make a lie true. Sorry. If you didn't lie, you can quote me. But I'm pretty sure you lied.

'You are not being intellectually honest.'

'When did I say that?'

'Incorrect.'

Again, because I can't trust you to recognize the concept: paraphrasing.

Nope. You said I was incensed. But you had no evidence to that effect. It was a lie. That's okay, lots of people lie.

Like you saying I insulted you?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trying to change the subject will not make your lie true either, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the root subject. It's the thing you were so not-incensed about.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's great, but I'm really only interested in talking about your lie. You're welcome to explain why you lied if you ever admit to it. I'll be interested in that. Otherwise, I'm just going to continue to mostly ignore anything else you have to say. Especially the long posts. Not going to read those at all. Not when they could be lies too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hypocrisy, then. Grand.

Worthless.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not about your lie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right, because you're the protagonist of reality. Your lies don't count. Even if they're to a mod.

But someone saying you were offended by an imaginary insult, well, stop the presses.

Didn't read that. In fact, I'm just not planning on reading anything else from you and will respond to all future posts with the word 'strawberry.' That should amuse me.
