before i made an account, i reached out to the chief admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com

i was recently banned during a discussion on the validity of a claim regarding the consensus about the safety of a vegan diet:

and, if you bother to go find that discussion, you’ll find that, in fact, my interlocutor did become incivil. i did report that. and somehow, my discussion and the subsequent report were the basis of a ban.

it was less than 2 hours. it’s almost not worth discussing.

but given my pre-application discussion, i felt strongly that my conduct is within the bounds of the acceptable use of the instance. so if my conduct is not within the acceptable use, that means i basically cant use my account(s) as i planned and under the terms which i agreed.

db0 has said he doesn’t want to be the benevolent dictator for life, and has specifically both recused himself from ruling on my conduct and encouraged me to post here and in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com (though i’m still holding off on that for now).

so, did i deserve it? power tripping bastard? what do you think?

    I’m not antivegan, but I am anti-consumer activism

    Just because animals cry out and try to run away when you hurt or try to kill them doesn’t mean they feel pain or want to live

    What a disengenous asshat. I can’t stand these people who are all like, “My only problem with your cause is I don’t think you’re persuing it the right way,” but then they very obviously disagree with the cause and are just saying that shit because they aren’t willing to defend their actual positions.

        I’m fascinated by this worldview in which we can suffiently ascertain the workings of an animal’s mind by observing their behavior when it comes to trying to avoid feeling pain, but not when it comes to trying to avoid dying.

        That is, assuming that’s your genuine position and you’re not just playing games.

          understanding pain does not require the understanding of the potential for mortality.

              frankly, I don’t care for debate at all. id rather you read what I say, understand it is true, and upvote.

                Yeah, that’s even more debate pervertry, with a side of narcissism. “Um, acktually, I don’t want to debate, I just want everyone to agree with me 🤓”

                  when i’m saying something factual, getting pushback indicates a level of cognitive dissonance that i find, personally, annoying.

                    Yeah, and other people feel the same way when what they say is factual and what you’re saying is a load of bull.
