  • it’s funny but also frightening that younger generations’ slang follows a trend of being reduced to 3 or 4 letters. Delulu is an outlier at 6 whole letters, but you can see the mental laziness that resulted in it. These idiots are going to be in charge of a burning planet one day and won’t even be able to read the reports of the minds that came before them. It’s scary to imagine being alive when they’re in charge.







  • With Facebook and x.com you pretty much understand the risks going in.

    But with stack overflow there’s so much naivete required to create an account and begin asking questions. The good stuff is laid out right in front of you: people asking similar questions and getting thoughtful responses to deeply technical questions. It feels rewarding to get your first answer approved.

    But then after months of “trying” you hit the wall. A sudden deluge of hostility and toxicity. Bipolar moderation staff suddenly deciding your content has no value and dumping you on a curb at night with a shitty smug comment, to the applause of bloodthirsty hoards of bootlicking trolls.

    Nothing could have prepared you for this. It’s hell. All of your work for nothing, any chance of justice or restitution gone. Every promise broken.

    It’s insidiously evil and I hope every member of their staff (unpaid moderators included) goes bankrupt and loses their home to foreclosure.









  • before you guys upvote him, please read the discussion.

    this guy came to my instance, read what I wrote, typed out a report and submitted it; he blames blindness and small text for not knowing which instance he was on, but neither of those issues prevented him from reading my post (it was a post about abuse, in a community I created, on my own instance) and reporting it. That’s why I banned him. He’s using a disability as an excuse to get away with offensive behavior (ignoring me when I tried to discuss the issue privately first).

    Yes, disabled people can behave offensively. Some disabled people can be selfish. Some of them hurt people, then walk away without apologizing, and blame their disability instead of themselves. To me, that’s abusive, and I call it out instead of letting people get away with it, because I’ve suffered enough at the hands of people who make excuses instead of being accountable.
