The timing is suspicious. Tho I’m not a MAGA.

Or it could be based on the way you act just because someone is disagreeing with you.

Probably!

Yeah, let me know when you find out! Thanks!

Yes, and it’s clear that they wouldn’t have done an outright temp ban for the length of time they did if you didn’t already have the history you did.

It’s clear that if they thought I was a troll worthy of a permaban, they would have permabanned me. But instead the temp banned me for posting duplicate articles. Just like the link said. And just like I said.

And since I’m not permabanned, I guess they don’t think I’m the troll that you think. IN FACT, reading through those comments in that thread, one of the mods also mentioned that many of the comments that people considered me “trolling” where in fact, a result of other people trolling me. And there are STILL people getting comments removed for being uncivil towards me and I’m not even in that community right now! lmao

If I’m so bad, you could just block me. Instead, you are proving everything I said was right, and everyone here can see that. Thanks, friend! :)

Check the link. Mods said it was for duplicate article. They made a post about it and said it right there in the post!! Lol

How am I lying if I said what they said!? And it’s a temporary ban. The link is right there, friend.

I know you’re mad and want it to be a permaban for trolling. But it’s not. Accept it. Lol

I’m still doing plenty of posting of articles that I find interesting, and I’ll be back in that sub in 12 days, so don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.

Thanks, friend! :)

Right?! We need to name more of our US laws after cool stuff like this!

Turns out that I made some people mad (ok, really really mad) and they follow me around to downvote, regardless of subject. Then they post stats of how many downvotes I get. A post in this very community that was removed for it. Look at how obsessive this dude got listing every single thing I’ve said and done LMAO. That’s some hate dedication: https://lemmy.world/modlog/2840?page=1&userId=1699372

Weird, I know. But it is what it is. They had a big “Fuck That Horrible Coward, Universal Monk” party when I got a two-week ban in a community (for posting duplicate article from different sources): https://lemmy.world/post/21115183

Not worth visiting the link unless you are really bored and want to see a very passionate crowd celebrating my demise. Just the usual boring “oh the guy’s a troll since he’s not voting with us. He’s probably paid by Putin!! Send him to the hounds!!!” nonsense. :)

I advocated voting third party in the US election. Community NOT amused. To put it lightly! lol

So yeah, that’s why when you see post from me, they’ll be downvoted really fast. Those guys really really hold a grudge. But hey, at least this is only -6 right now. Usually, it gets to the -30’s really fast, so maybe they are finally tired of following me around. lol

Never heard of it. And nothing to do with this article or this community. Thanks! :)

Gee I wonder why your posting frequency tanked immediately once you were banned from the most popular place you’ve been posting.

My posting frequency hasn’t tanked at all. Feel free to look at my post history. Thanks! :)

So, being banned from that space shouldn’t impact your behavior at all. And yet it did, drastically.

But it hasn’t. At all. Why would it? c/politcs was never the only place I posted. Which you know, because you post my posting/downvoting stats every day. My post history: https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts

And regardless, you posts have nothing to do with the article I’ve posted. Let’s try to not veer off-topic. Thanks! :)

And your example also emphasizes why it’s not a good idea to just blindly vote for someone just because of the letter by their name too.

But I agree with you, I would like something like this for the US.

Yep!

Thanks for your kind words!

My ban in politics is just until election tho because of fears I’m influencing voting minds and you all are taking up the mods time complaining.

I disagree with that assumption, but the mods are totally allowed to mod as they see fit, and I can respect their wishes-- even if I disagree.

And this is a different community and this is a different news subject. Let’s try to stick to the topic.

Thank you!

Right? Well, supporters of the Duopoly have never been my biggest fans. I’m a proud socialist, so this kind of thing is pretty much par for the course, friend.

And the fact that you felt the need to bring that up in the discussion of an unrelated article about assisted dying proves my point. Why would me being “remarkably unlikable” have anything to do with a news article posted in a world news community?! Thank you! :)

Yep, that’s it. Here is the dailymail article, I know you hate them, but they have the pics of it in the forest.

I think there should be legit ones, just like that. Because that seemed the best way to go if you gotta go.

It’s crazy to me that we don’t have sensible right-to-die laws here. I was reading about one somewhere (Sweden maybe? I can’t recall now), where there’s a cool pod. It was placed in a beautiful forest. Woman was in chronic pain all her life, so she goes in, pushes 3 buttons, a gas painlessly makes her go to sleep and die. The company picks up and cleans up.

It was awesome! Legit we need that here in the US.

They don’t have capital punishment where the catfisher guy lives, and I’m generally not in favor of it. But in this case, I wish it were an option. I work with children around this age at my school every single day, and I’m so upset right now, I can’t see straight.

From DailyMail court coverage:

Cimarron was told if she did not comply her photos would be sent to her father. In gut wrenching detail the prosecutor described how Cimarron pleaded with McCartney to stop. Even when she was visibly distressed and crying, he told her to ‘dry her eyes’ and involve her younger sister aged nine in a sex act.

Cimarron refused and said she would rather kill herself with McCartney cruelly launching a countdown and telling her: ‘goodbye and good luck’.

The court heard Cimarron’s sister later heard a popping sound that she thought was a balloon bursting.

This is a UK article, but the little girl, Cimarron, and her father, Ben Thomas, who both tragically took their own lives, were Americans and lived in a small town in West Virginia. Little Cimarron killed herself out of shame. 18 months later, the father killed himself because he couldn’t get over her loss.

This is a horrible story, so read with caution. I wish I hadn’t read it, but people need to know stuff like this happens so that they can better protect their own kids.

I don’t think it had anything to do with Odinism, BUT the bodies were arranged in a weird way. And the cops have been keeping a lot of evidence pretty quiet. So we’ll see.

I’ve been following the story for a while now. She hung two of her kids up with a dog leash. Then blamed on one of the victims, saying he committed suicide and took his sister with him.

She doesn’t really seem very remorseful, but at least she’s going to prison for life.
