No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -

Average political troll like @Linkerbaan@lemmy.world (banned now). I mean you were literally banned for calling leftists radicalized terrorists, just like linkerbaan was banned for similar bad faith name-calling and accusations. Modlogs, they're a very nice thing on Lemmy, even if you don't have them on mbin.
Oh and before you start crying about being abused by mods and admins, I haven't been banned from instances or communities for hate speech or aggression, mods don't regularly tell me to stop doing that because it's against the rules. I don't have a modlog filled with aggressive comments calling people names or making repeated bad faith accusations that don't hold any merit. If you don't realize how the problem is with you and your behavior you'll probably continue to be banned and have comments removed, adding to your reputation.
It's about whether they would, and they would and do which is why I called them criminals, and if we're discussing the topic of DNT why'd you stop there? You realize that what I said about it is completely true.
That a system which does not enforce their own compliance won't work, and that they'll love it because they can not comply and if they don't get caught nothing will happen. It's a system that does not work with the average big tech white-collar criminals who think they are above the law and only start giving a fuck after they get caught.
Whereas actually blocking their trackers (and advertisements in extreme mode) and feeding them false fingerprinting data does solve the tracking problem, better than asking them and assuming their compliance ever could.
I see you aren't too bright then, considering I had this dumbass Nazi troll tagged even before switching instances. Maybe learn some nuance, something this platform could really use.
Except that I did not do that. lmao I simply called out calls for literal murder & mob rule by the same people who are also Hamas apologists. But thanks for notifying me of even more mod abuse. db0 already tried to frame me earlier by completely twisting the words around, which I later called him out for, which I guess he took personally. This platform simply hates people who are speaking out against all the Tankies & terrorist simps on here, or saying "outrageous" things, like that murdering people you don't like is bad. How dare me!
That's because you're on the same of the extremist spectrum as the mods. Same reason why certain subreddits kept all the Nazi shit alive without banning users - except for those speaking out against it. And yes, that was also me. Funny, isn't it? Somehow I get banned by both the Nazis and the Tankies. I guess if that makes me the problem, then I like being the problem, because I don't like either.
I'm not gonna be nice to all the extremists on here, sorry but not sorry. We're globally past that point with where you all brought us now. Why would I pretend to be civil towards people who support genocide and murder? Who make excuses for terrorists and killers? Just because a large portion of Lemmy has lost their collective mind, does not mean that I'm going to join that bullshit mindset like some Lemming.
Funny, your rep is at 161, despite having a much older account. Mine is at almost 25k. Maybe me clashing with the extremest user base on Lemmy isn't actually representative of the overall reputation of a user? Hm... Maybe write a bit more than 6 pages worth of comments in a year and confront some questionable political positions on here and you understand what is actually happening when the bans come for you as well.
Jfc... If they would, they'd get fined, or worse if they end up being repeated offenders and depending on what they did. The world would be a lot worse if they did not care about laws, which is why you see such strong lobbying against it, and why other countries, like the US, are so much worse. Your argument is about as bad as the "both parties are the same and nothing changes" comments from the mentioned extremists here, which are just more lies.
That doesn't mean you and him don't share common behavior patterns, especially when it comes to the trolling and the abusive behavior. Something you've definitely shown a lot of if that and your previous modlog is any indication.
Yeah I trust db0 a hell of a lot more than I trust the likes of you, but I can still verify what you've said, and yeah. 100% justified. I'm surprised he didn't ban you permanently for such blatantly bad faith behavior.
"Everyone against me is a Terrorist Extremist!!!1!!!1!11" You unironically. Probably what you think of everyone who isn't screaming accusations at people and calling them names. The funny part is that it is behavior like that which makes a person look like an extremist.
You are expected to maintain basic civility regardless, and you are also expected not to make random unmerited accusations towards others. When one sees that it's against the rules and goes "fuck it, I'm going to do it anyway" it's natural they get banned for it. Expect to keep getting banned for it, and since modlogs are public on Lemmy, and most users are here on Lemmy, expect them to judge you for your past infractions.
Great, I don't care about user score, just like I don't care about Karma on Reddit, it's useless.
It's obvious you were deflecting because even you can't be that daft to think that I meant user score when I said reputation. See what I actually meant by it was how people think of you as a person, and from the people I've been talking to (users, mods, and admins), yours isn't so great. Long history of trolling and hostility towards others. I think you knew exactly what I meant though when you said reputation and just wanted to try and flex hoping to make me feel bad or inferior. That shit doesn't work on me.
FInally back on topic.
Okay let's break this down.
Yes they would indeed. When and if they get caught, that could take a long time if what they're doing is simply tracking people sending DNT requests, requires them being found out by someone, and requires that person reporting it, them being investigated to find out if they're actually doing it, and it requires that the investigation find that they were doing it and actually hold them accountable for real.
Do you and I not live in the same world because the world I know has a large number of known white-collar criminals who stole money, or violated laws secretly to avoid spending more money and increase profits because they didn't think they'd get caught doing it.
Of course they fucking would, do you know what's better than a slim chance of being caught? No chance of being caught, because it wouldn't be illegal. Just because they aren't going to follow the laws in the name of profit doesn't mean they don't seek to change the laws for their own interest.
If you want to cry about me being "abusive" towards actual trolls and abusers (you know, those who glorify violence and genocide), then that's on you, I honestly don't care. I've took enough unwarranted abuse here to know that I'm on the right side, because I'm not the one who sympathizes with literal terrorists and murderers. And yes, fuck those people, including mods! I will stand by that until I'm banned in the entire Fediverse if I have to, I'll block any abusive mods and all of their communities anyway. I'm not gonna start sucking Hamas cock & be okay with blatant disinformation, just because it's the cool thing to do here.
You can't since they removed the comments, but here's one that shows where it all started; That's the logic and agenda db0 operates under, but I'm the one arguing in bad faith? You're doing the same mistake that people on Reddit did; trusting random ass moderators not being on a power trip and pushing their own agendas.
"Probably" - very confident. I'm offensive towards those who literally make excuses & sympathize with Hamas, who call to the death of Israel, who think murder & mob rule is justified. I'm not making accusations to people who do not do that, I'm doing it towards all the terrorist simps on this platform, which are plentiful. Even the freaking Lemmy devs are literal Tankies, or are you going to deny that too?
They're neither random nor unmerited. They're observable facts based on the complete bullshit that people on here constantly say. This isn't even in any sort of way new or unexpected, it's well known that Lemmy is housing a lot of Tankie extremists with very questionable views. When the moderators refuse to moderate such content, I'm of course not going to be nice to them. I don't care if they ban me for speaking out and having a clear stance, that still makes them worse than me.
LOL It shows the quality of ones postings. The Linkerbaan was in the negatives by the thousands for his trolling. If I was such a troll, like you're claiming, then I'd be too. But outside of reacting strongly towards people with extremist views I'm actually a completely reasonable person, giving helpful advice where I can. In Germany we say "As one calls into the forest, it resounds." and I'm merely resounding the tone that's being used by others. So yes, if you call for genocide or murder, expect me to respond in kind. But feel free to ignore the context behind those moderator actions and just do your mental gymnastics to to feed your confirmation bias. Doesn't make you right, but at least you can get that cozy feeling about it.
Which is why whistleblower protections should be a thing. Aside from that, it's not like this that uncommon to happen. The thing is that it's not that easy to hide as you make it out to be, but of course you expect that things like this happen anyway, even though you have no proof of it happening, which is why you argue that it is pointless trying to enforce it anyway, which again, is stupid and exactly the outcome such companies want.
Well, if they did not get caught, then you would not know about it. If they did get caught, then laws seem to actually work. So something does not add up in your world.
I guess that's a little better than your original assessment of it being useless. Progress!
