I post articles, I don’t write them. What makes you think that I have to agree 100 percent with every article I post? That’s not a rule, nor is it a goal of this political news community.
I’ve posted articles that are critical of Trump, Stein, and Harris, as well as articles praising each of them.
I’m actually voting Socialist Workers Party. I believe in choices, and I support people voting for whoever they want. That is their right. As it’s my right. Thank you!
Why aren’t you posting all the Harris articles if you don’t care? Or just cat memes? Nobody is buying your ‘just asking questions’ shtick. This is why you were banned for sea-lioning.
I don’t believe you’re as old as you say. You act like a 23 year-old libertarian who’s just learning philosophy, with a rudimentary understanding and just enough edge to cut cheese. The more you talk, the less serious you sound.
I really hope you’re in your early 20s, because otherwise this is embarrassing.
I was banned 3 days for sealioning, that is correct. I disagree with the mods reasoning, but this is their community, their rules, so I am fine with it.
But you know what I realized during those three days? There are a lot of other Lemmy communities where people are open about voting third party. Cool, right?!
I ended up spending my time posting and chatting with like-minded folks, and it was actually fun! My voice wasn’t silenced at all—I just found bigger audiences who appreciated the same articles and wanted real discussions.
Not everyone thinks like you. And that’s ok.
You are free to believe whatever you would like. I don’t have to explain anything more to you. Thank you!
So why did you come back here, where people are rational?
Again, if you truly believe that 3rd parties need a place at the table (and for the record, I truly believe they do), you should be pushing people to support FairVote Action, not Jill Stein.
Considering your nearly inhuman posting frequency, you could be an effective agent for actual change. So why are you wasting your time doing this instead of using your considerable free time to actually make a difference?
So why did you come back here, where people are rational?
I think most people on Lemmy are rational.
Again, I’m not voting for Jill Stein. My “nearly inhuman posting frequency” as in me replying to you replying to me. I mean, you are having pretty inhuman posting frequency right now. OMG we are inhumans! Awesome!
In short, it’s a form of trolling. Sealioning is defined specifically by the following characteristics:
A faux veneer of civility. That’s because the troll wants to play victim when others lose their sense of civility dealing with said troll.
Persistence. Another poster here points out how often this poster posts, and it comes out to once every 18 minutes, every hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. A Sealion tries to erode one’s sense of goodwill and decorum by constantly hounding people that disagree with it,
A fake attempt to appear to be trying to educate oneself or others.
Sealioning isn’t an exact match for this poster’s behaviour, but it’s damn close. Little petty grammar and spelling nazi comments. Intruding into other people’s DMs without permission. Constantly hiding behind the community rules. Using and abusing the fuck out of laws of civility and this community, while having zero intention to do anything but be disruptive, annoying, insulting, condescending, and otherwise just plain unpleasant, secure in the knowledge that we can’t call it out for what it is because the Mods have handcuffed us with these silly ‘be civil’ rules.
The mods have actually tagged this poster with a three day timeout for being a troll. I don’t think that gives me permission to carte blanc call this poster a troll, but I can at least point out every time I see it pushing its latest nonsense that the moderator team here has suspended its access for 3 days for trolling. We’ll see if the mods let that stay up. Given the nonsense that the mods have let stay up for the person they put in time out for being a troll, I hope it will. Kind of like calling out a convicted thief as a thief, or a convicted fraudster as a fraudster. Just with a silly extra step because we wouldn’t want to be uncivil to someone who is wanting to be uncivil to us.
My posts do NOT come out every 18 minutes, 24 hours a day. That’s 100 percent false. You can just look at the time stamps and see that’s false. The time frames mentioned are averages, not actual posting intervals. It’s not literal, friend.
And as you just mentioned, the mods banned me for 3 days. I’ve had comments removed when they thought I went too far, just as you have had. So no, I don’t get any preferential treatment from them, nor have I ever asked. No one is “handcuffed” when it comes to speaking out against me.
@jordanlund@lemmy.world would you like to jump in and address his concerns regarding the modding activity of this community?
This poster seems to have forgotten the times it ‘slid up in my DMs’ to ‘check up on me’…I haven’t. :)
This is the poster’s posting history from my perspective. 1490+ posts. 3410+ comments. That’s over a 61 day period. That’s 4900 posts and comments, which comes out to 80 posts and comments a day, 3.347 posts per hour, or roughly once per 17.9 minutes.
The receipts are up there. Thanks @SatansMaggotyCumFart for the work of figuring out this poster’s utter dedication to posting.
The time frames mentioned are averages, not actual posting intervals.
It doesn’t mean I post every 17.9 minutes nonstop around the clock. We all understand what averages are, right?
I’m not ashamed at all of my post history; it’s public. I’m actually proud when you all post it and I stand by everything I’ve said and don’t regret any of my posts! :)
But if you’re interpreting or implying an average as a precise, continuous posting schedule, then the real issue is our education system, not my activity.
See? This is the bullshit this poster throws out when confronted.
NOBODY is going to go make a scatter-graph of this poster’s posting habits to show how often it’s on posting. We’re just going to do the easy maths. Like I just did. ON AVERAGE this poster makes a comment every 18 minutes. If it sleeps 8 hours, we would divide 80 by 16, and the posting rate becomes an even more insane once per 12 minutes, every waking moment of the day. And then we start asking other uncomfortable questions, like…‘does this person work for a living? Or is this person’s work posting on here for a living?’ Not where I think this poster wants us to start drifting in our thinking, I don’t think.
But that fits with the ban for trolling this poster got. It knows that once every 18 minutes, or once every 12 minutes sixteen hours a day, or once every six minutes eight hours a day looks bad, so it starts distractifying with the nonsense that I’m saying straight out that it stays up 24/7/365 which would make it a bot or at least a group of people operating on 24 hour shifts. I’m just saying that if you average it all out, this poster is dedicating ridiculously stupidly large amounts of time to force it down our throat that it’s voting third party.
Again. I’m only interacting with this poster because we’re not crushing Trump 70 to 30. Were we, I’d not even bother with this foolish human (?) – let it waste its vote if it wants, that won’t make Trump more likely. But somehow, Trump is pulling 49.8% in some very scary places, and we ALL need to be all hands on deck, and the only reason you wouldn’t be is if you don’t mind if Trump wins and fucks the entire goddamn country in the process.

Well, then maybe don’t post my stats if you can’t back them up. But as you are admitting now, the numbers you’re talking about are averages, they’re not literal timing intervals. I’m actually proud of my posting numbers. Not embarrassed at all.
And then we start asking other uncomfortable questions, like…‘does this person work for a living?
Not uncomfortable for me. I’ve mentioned my occupation several times. In fact, there was a whole chain of one poster mocking me for what I do for a living and the low pay I get! I’m a teaching assistant in an underserved, undefunded public school. I’m not uncomfortable or embarrassed about it. I love what I do!

Come on. This is just insulting.

Thank you for the compliments, friend!
You’re hilarious. You know I meant what the second-top comment on this post said:
Everyone can see it. You’re very transparent. Keep replying, though. You only look weirder with each reply.
Well, if I’m so transparent, then ya have nothing to worry about or be mad about when it comes to my posts. See? All good. Thank you!
I’m not mad, lol. Just mildly amused at your dedication to the bit.
Again, FairVote Action. I’ll keep linking it until you actually look at it.
Good, because you sounded pretty annoyed. Glad you’re not.
But hey, if it’s just mild amusement, then no worries about what I post. Thank you!
This poster disagrees that it was guilty of Sealioning. That’s amusing.
Dear reader, let’s look at what Sealioning is.
In short, it’s a form of trolling. Sealioning is defined specifically by the following characteristics:
