MODERATORS
it's like when you cut a tub of ice cream to see the distribution
you can tell a platform hasn't got a good mix of people if there aren't any freaks or difficult bastards
It's ok to be a freak. It's not ok to be an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. We like the weirdos for the colourfulness they bring to our lives. No one likes an asshole.
Keep Lemmy weird. Don't be an asshole. Live by these rules and this place will always be great.
We all have our moments (or so he tells himself). I'm not advocating being an asshole, but they do make things seem more real. I've been in online groups where everyone's blandly cordial and it all feels lifeless.
You can be a difficult bastard without being mean though, it's practically my whole job these days.
You're gradually adjusting.
Actually I think being a difficult bastard, stubborn, or an arsehole is actually needed in certain contexts. Sometimes people are stubborn just because they can, sometimes it's because they are defending themselves or someone else.
