Pretty sure it's a bot, check post history

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I’m not a bot. This sub and the other are dead. I usually just lurk but I’d like to see these subs more active

Your account is 26 minutes old, you made 4 posts. This one is the closest thing to not being garbage.

Jesus christ, what a way of welcoming new people

I see why this website has no activity. Assholes like you scare people off. Now fuck off and leave me alone. You are following me into every community. That is not allowed on Lemmy. Quit harassing me

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Because Lemmy is so small, many people browse by /all...

So when you create an account and immediately start spamming posts everywhere, people notice.

Just calm down man, space your posts out. If you'd make 1 post/hr, no one will give you shit.

If someone is annoying you, just block them and you'll never see them again.

Dude go the fuck outside. Telling people how to post to lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Thank you for the explanation. This site is rough around the edges. These communities don’t get posts for months and when someone finally does they get harassed. Lemmy will never grow if it keeps this attitude

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You still don't get that the problem is you, so I'm gonna take my own advice

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How the fuck is posting content a problem. Were you all dropped on your heads? If seeing multiple posts from the same person is a problem go the fuck outside.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

And yet you get these serial posters who post nothing but stupid fucking memes all day and they are lorded by these users.

Its fucking ridiculous.

This is a dying website. It’s because the worst of Reddit migrated here and the decent people realized how unwelcoming this community is and went back to Reddit. The last post in this community was 6 months ago. It’s a ghost town. Sounds like you wanted it to the stay that way

I'm replying to this comment, but this is really meant for both of you.

OK, so in this case, OP is an actual human and not a bot.
There's usually little point in accusing an account of being a bot outside of reports. Hell, I've probably done it myself in the past, but it sucks.

Thing is:
If they were a bot, then they wouldn't care.
If they weren't a bot, then that's just hurtful.

I'm sure everyone can see how being called a bot isn't fun.
Then again, lashing out through DMs also fucking sucks.
Lemmy is also dumb in that the recipient of a DM currently can't delete it, making DM abuse kinda bullshit to deal with.

On reddit, you'd both have received a vague boilerplate message about nothing, but on here there are actual humans involved and this one likes to imagine we can somewhat get along, or at least ignore each other without being toxic.

This isn't meant as a judgement/endorsement of the quality of whoever's content, just there's little point in such fighting amongst ourselves.

Peace.

He called my contributions garbage and followed me and commented on every one of my posts. I then stood up for myself after he would not leave me alone. If this is how new users who are contributing posts here are treated then don’t expect much growth of Lemmy. He should have never been allowed to harass users like that in the first place. Did anything happen to him or will he just find the next new user to harass? @[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Not that it's a competition or any consolation, but I've removed comments from them too.
I've deleted the DMs you sent them because people can't block or delete those and they stay in your inbox forever, which sucks and is a bit dumb in lemmy from a UX perspective.

Anyways.

  1. They don't have a history of doing this, haven't been a problem in 8 months, they've been warned, if they keep doing that: they'll get banned.
  2. You don't have a history of sending abusive DMs, you've been warned, if you keep doing that: you'll get you banned

That guy's just a rando dick that happened to notice you and doesn't have the emotional maturity accept he was wrong about calling you a bot. The rest of us are happy to see people contributing. Carry on :).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, don't pay attention to these idiots. Don't feed the trolls. Post what you want, when you want. Thanks for contributing instead of being a miserable fuck like others in this thread.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Thanks man. All I wanted to do is add some content for the hobbies I have. Glad to see there are good people around too
