And it seems karmacourt will be the first to posit that the fediverse is worth “putting in its place”, going by the upvotes in such an empty community that probably discourages those kinds of suits.

    The complaint is regarding a known sock puppeter. Those votes are almost certainly all from the same person. And even if not, then those other accounts who write just like her but only because they ‘collaboratively compose their messages’ could be doing the upvoting.

    Eta: ohhhhh it’s this mofo. Let it go, CraigOhMyEggo. We get it. You’re a serial Leni defender. But no, and I can’t say this loudly and hard enough, getting 8 upvotes on a joke subreddit doesn’t show that the whole of the fediverse is wrong for telling Leni to fuck off. And even if somehow this was a good way to make that point, in some crazy universe, the fediverse doesn’t hinge on reddit’s opinion of anything. Most fediverse folks don’t give a shit about redditor’s opinion. Or we would be on reddit.

    This is a really pathetic attempt to revive the argument for Leni. You need to move on with your life.

      I don’t know who this dude is but there are definitely all kinds of red flags about this post. I don’t know why they assigned so much value to this, so a crusade makes a lot of sense

        I love popcorn as much as anybody, so normally I’d launch into a retelling of the whole sordid tale, but the problem with this drama is that it’s not fun to read. Because the CallMeLeni person, and also the one who was leading the crusade against them, can’t write.

        That’s not like, a cute joke. I’ve never, in my long and storied life, seen people who have such poor writing skills. Many times, people have commented to tell these folks that their writing is unreadable, and every time, the response is either to defend it, or to get weirdly specific about the complaints being made.

        So instead of bothering with the whole thing, I found the post where I first read CallMeLeni posting something, and I’m linking it here. I didn’t bother carrying over the links they put in the comment. And I’m going to paste a quote, so you can see why I don’t recommend going for it. I can’t warn you enough that this isn’t worth your time.

        ::: And for extra protection, I’ve spoiler’d it. Read it if you want but you are missing out on nothing.

        The implication here is false, at least by my definition of the word “false”, and he even alluded to that after it began to be discussed elaborately, albeit before using an appeal to the masses (story of my life) and say “most people seem to understand”, which ignores consensus of me and the aforementioned Blaze (as much as the “the truth we all wanted to speak” remark ignores not everyone had that issue). Notice how I responded with “I can spot rules broken by the other person’s thread more easily than I can spot rules broken by mine” and got only thumbs down for it and no responses, yet when I actually dissected the rules piece by piece in front of him to point out that any rule I supposedly broke wasn’t there, which even the person who recommended I make the discussion in the first place (the aforementioned Blaze) agreed was a “fair point to be honest”, the mod then delved into the concept of “unspoken rules” as an excuse for himself and said he didn’t want to “rules-lawyer”, which not only disproves what he said about “specific posting guidelines” being “in the sidebar” that supposedly explained what I did wrong, but proved a point I commonly mention about people in different places including here always being uncritical and unwilling to see things for themselves and just taking peoples’ word for things (and about that, to respond to Cypher’s last reply, intellectual =/= intelligent). A part of that is it also suggests, by extension, that the quantity of thumbs down you garner is unreliable as consistently meaning anything, unless the rule is actually to apply gladiator logic and say a thumbs down signals mercy, as indicated by the very Roman-esque culture around here. I guess all this time, I was being praised and didn’t realize it? :::

          I don’t know about her, but I never had any issue with people telling me I am poorly articulated. What I get on about when confronted about it is how people say there’s an objective scale of good communicating.

      I “defended” a lot of people but don’t hold the feelings towards her you posit I do at the moment. I just thought this was worth bringing up in Fedilore. Never did I say the eight upvotes proved anything, just that the upvoters showed there was enthusiasm for it. I’m not reviving anything.
