Reuters publishes an article across its newswire. Lemmy user reposts it. Somehow, the Lemmy user is a bad actor, not Reuters .
Why not both? Reuters is publishing this for the clicks. Based on the OP’s history of posts and most especially of comments, we’re all well aware of their agenda and lack of good faith engagement (he’s just coming off a three day ban for trolling).
My 3 day ban was for sealioning. And I didn’t even know what that was before I heard about it from you, here on Lemmy.
“it wasn’t for trolling. It was for trolling”. Comprehension isn’t your strong suit, I see.
This community sees a difference between trolling and sealioning. Mod log says I was banned for sealioning. They are the ones that break it down to whatever they want. Their community, their rules. Check the mod log for yourself: https://lemmy.world/modlog/1252
Thank you!
Sealioning is a type of trolling, as you have already been told. I see another sealioning ban in your future, you’re literally doing it right now.
My ban reason said “sealioning.” Other people have been banned for “trolling.” I didn’t make up the mod rules. Thank you!
sealioning intensifies
Dude - again with the reading comprehension. <sigh>
Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassmentthat consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity

Depends on the mod, sometimes it is very specific (“sealioning”, “civility”, “trolling”) and sometimes it’s more general (i.e. “rule 4”, “rule 3”). As you well know as all those examples above are from the explanations of your removed comments.
And it’s fairly rich for you to speak on behalf of the community. But your semantic games aside, your ban was for a form of trolling. That’s a factual and true statement not up for debate. You can either move forward from it or not, but you can’t pretend it didn’t happen.
My ban reason says “sealioning” and not “trolling.” If they wanted to ban me for “trolling” they could have said “trolling.”
If you wanna think both are exactly the same, then have at it. But they have different names. I stated the facts. I didn’t write the rules of this community, so feel free to take that up with the mods.
I haven’t pretended anything. The modlog is public. Feel free to look at it and see for yourself. Thank you!
Now that you have a response from a mod on the fact you were indeed banned for trolling, we’re good, right?
I invite you to look at this user’s history.
Me too! I invite him to look at my history.
Yeah, people get pretty mad about it. I don’t take any of it personally. :)
If this poster didn’t take our feedback personally, it’d go to its special little corner of Lemmy and post all it wants there, because obviously the community here doesn’t like this poster, and finally, the moderation team is saying they’ve had enough of its shit.
It’s here because it really wants to ‘show us up’, posting incendiary topics, needling posters, pushing this meme that Trump would be better than Harris, and constantly egging on commentor after commentor.

I have several communities I created and mod. So I do post all I want there. Thank you!
I don’t know what meme you are referring to, as this is a Reuters article. And I posted it because I found it interesting. That’s it.
If you’re that concerned with what they report on and write, then reach out to Reuters and make your thoughts known. You are in charge of your own voice, friend! Thank you!
What did you find interesting about the article? I found it very interesting how Jill Stein only had 100 supporters at her last rally. She’s really making moves!
Well since she only had 100 supporters then you have nothing to be worried or angry about! So all good!
Oh, so you didn’t find anything in the article interesting?
I don’t have to explain anything to you. Thank you!
They’re back and posting BS! Jill (a Russian asset) is still more evil than Kamala, so it really doesn’t matter what she thinks. I can’t wait until the election is over so that you stop posting about the candidate that will lose.
Emphasis on this point.
Jill Stein has NO path to victory. She would require a 50%+1 majority in at least 270 EV worth of states. She doesn’t even have 10% of the vote share in any state. Thus a vote for her is only marginally better than a vote for Trump, and about as effective as staying home on Election Day.
This particular poster’s shiny object, Rechele Fruit, has even LESS of a chance. This candidate would require 50%+1 in three states, plus a successful write-in campaign for 50%+1 in another nine states (has that EVER happened in a SINGLE state) to get 87 EVs, a far cry from the 270 she needs to be elected. A vote for her is a fart in the wind. She doesn’t even make the polling.
One of two people will take the Oath of Office in 2025. If you don’t want Donald Trump and Project 2025 shoved up our privates, vote Harris. If you don’t want Harris, for whatever reason, may you suffer the consequences of Project 2025 particularly harshly, though I doubt many of the shi…err, posters who post here bashing Harris and the Dems will have to suffer the consequences of their claimed votes.
Meh, I’m not voting for Stein. Or Harris. Or Trump. So I’m not worried. But thanks for the shoutout for “Rachele” Fruit!
So you have no dog in this fight. Maybe sit this one out, champ, and stop trying to persuade others to follow your anti-democratic example.
For the rest of us, please vote! And bring friends with you! Every vote matters. We need all hands on deck.
Maybe sit this one out, champ, and stop trying to persuade others to follow your anti-democratic example.
Me saying who I am voting for, isn’t “trying to persuade others.”
I have always said, and will continue to say, people should vote for who they want to. Yes, I encourage everyone to vote for and vote for who they want to, and not allow themselves to be bullied into making a decision they are not comfortable with.
So nah, not sitting this one out. Thank you!
You constantly making posts and comments pushing for, again, a clear Russian plant whose entire purpose is to prop up a candidate who has already committed treason twice and who has openly admitted he will end democracy is not benign. Your contributions have, so far, not contributed to healthy discourse, but have been pretty obviously made with the intention to promote division.
If that’s who you are, just own it. If it’s not, take a step back and examine your motives.
Here are some sources for you:
Russians launched pro-Jill Stein social media blitz to help Trump win election, reports say
And – this one is crucial – how to productively redirect your efforts, if you’re in fact sincere: FairVote Action, an actual grass-roots org working to get rid of the FPTP system to make democracy actually fair.
If you take nothing else from my comments, at least look at that last link. Your energy would be far better served there than what you’re doing now. Be the change you want to see.
I’m not voting for Jill Stein, though.
And I’m not pushing her as a candidate, and I’m definitely not telling people who to vote for. I trust the American public to make their own decisions based on what they believe, for whatever reasons matter to them.
I don’t write the articles; I just post links to them. It’s up to each person to decide if they want to click and read or ignore it entirely.
Be the change you want to see.
Oh I am being the change i wanna see. I want to see diversity of political thought without bullying. Thank you!
What country do you live in?
Reuters news service wrote a political news article. I thought it was interesting. So I posted it. That’s it. Nothing nefarious going on.
And I’ll do the same thing after the election when I see interesting political news articles. There is no conspiracy here.
Everyone here can already see right through you, as you can see by the comments. You continue to use the “I didn’t write the article” excuse while almost exclusively posting content that will get Trump elected. It’s not hard to see, you’re pretty bad at it.
It’s not hard to see, you’re pretty bad at it.
Well, then you have nothing to worry about or be mad about. So yay!
Me not writing the article isn’t an excuse. It’s a fact. Seriously, write to Reuters if you feel they are doing the public a disservice by writing articles like this. Thank you!
I’m writing you for doing the public here on lemmy a disservice by posting pro-Trump content. It has nothing to do with Reuters.
And I am disagreeing with you and I won’t stop posting articles. Thank you.
You certainly had to stop posting articles when you got banned for sealioning (trolling).
Well, I stopped posting articles here to this one community. But were you under the impression that I stopped posting articles to other communities and even other Lemmy instances? https://lemmy.world/u/UniversalMonk?page=1&sort=New&view=Posts
Jill Stein is a Russian plant, and anyone promoting her is a traitor.
Be sure to write to Reuters newswire services to let them know your thoughts about that as well.
To let them know you can’t stop posting in a politics forum about a clear Russian plant less than 30 days before an important election when you should know better?
Yeah, I’m sure they’ll get right on it.
You do realise news sites will report on everything any public figure says, whether it’s relevant or not, but you choose to spread irrelevant shit here, right?
I posted a political news article to a political news community. This community celebrates diversity of thought and opinions. Which means you can post if you want to, and I can post if I want to. Thank you!
Right back on it, I see. Interesting how you once again choose to almost entirely post articles here about candidates you aren’t even voting for. Nothing happening for Rachel Fruit for the last three days of your absence? Can’t say that’s too surprising.
Just because I post an interesting news article, that doesn’t mean I have to subscribe to everything in it. That’s not a rule for posting here. Thanks!
Legitimate and sincere question: What exactly did you find interesting about the article?
Friend, I think with you and I, it’s just best if I don’t reply to you. No matter what I say, I think it’s going to frustrate you. So I’ll just pass on discussing things with you. Sealioning, lying, Russian, team, or whatever works for you to believe about me, but I’m not gonna change your mind.
I feel we are gonna just have to agree to disagree. I’m not going to stop posting, but I don’t think we are gonna ever find neutral ground. Thank you!
What a way to get around answering what should be an easy question, since it’s your go-to reason for posting pro-Trump (yes, that includes Jill) content.
I don’t have to explain anything to you. Nor do I have to tell you or anyone else what I find or don’t find interesting. If you feel this article or this post breaks the community rules, reach out to the mod team. As has been proven, I get no preferential treatment from them. Thank you!
No, you don’t have to, and yet, that’s pretty much all you’re doing in the comments (except when asked a very simple question).
Please see my previous reponse. Thank you!
Nothing happening for Rachel Fruit for the last three days of your absence?
Her party has had plenty to say, no worries! https://lemmy.world/c/swp
Well, not exactly “her party” as that’s just the unofficial community you setup.
Most of the articles (not all, but most) there come directly from her party’s website. Any article you see there from themilitant.com/ is from her party. Thanks!
Shill Stein just needs to come out and say that she supports Trump and Putin. Stop skirting around the issue.
Well she hasn’t said it yet, so I wouldn’t count on it happening anytime soon.
And man, I found this amusing:
…Stein told Reuters after a rally attended by about 100 people in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn on Sunday
Weekend rally in one of her supposed “strongholds” of support, and she only had 100 folks show up? There’s city council candidates there that get bigger turnout at events.
Just offer free food and you’d get more. It doesn’t even have to be good food.
Pizza. I go anywhere for pizza!
And she’s a putin shill. So who cares.
Apparently a lot of Democrats care since they are talking about her so much.
If you can’t tell the difference between Harris and Trump, your political opinion is 110% invalid.
Meh, just because someone sees things differently doesn’t mean their opinion is worthless.
There are folks who feel just as strongly that Harris and Trump are both bad for different reasons—maybe one sees Harris as too corporate and the other sees Trump as too authoritarian.
Different people experience politics in different ways. Doesn’t make one necessarily right and the other necessarily wrong.
Dismissing someone’s perspective just because it doesn’t match others doesn’t help anyone understand each other or actually address the issues.
I mean, I might say the same thing if I was also running for president.
“Everyone but me sucks! Vote for me!”
Right?! Every candidate running thinks that exact same thing! lmao
