I think they clearly expressed they were going through some hard times. I don’t think that’s necessarily a sin. And I don’t think one comment we all disagree (landlords) is a good lone reason to ban. Did I miss something? Not trying to stir the pot I just think patience and compassion should always come first.
Yeah someone being abrasive and depressed doesn’t seem like a fair reason to ban them personally but i wont pretend to know the full story here.
Yes the doomerism is difficult especially when we’ve all got shit and maintaining good mental health is hard enough but I feel like if they were here then they were already better than 99% of reddit ideologically and would it not be remiss of us to help iron out the misunderstandings of ML and landlords etc and offer a less judgemental ear to their negativity? I know people being patient with me is how I became the person I am today.
I dunno, not sure I’d call this a “pro gamer move” but again I don’t know the details.
Ive been concerned about them for a while, imo a ban should only be leveled on someone who either is malicious in their intent, disrespectful and bigoted, or unapologetically anti-communist. This looks like a case of ignorance more than anything. This is the sort of ban I’d expect on Reddit, not here.
I think more effort should have be made to help and uplift comrades in these situations. I can appreciate how abrasive they were and when people are trying to help that can get tiring quickly especially when everyone’s got their own problems but still it doesn’t feel right to 86 someone who clearly isn’t in a good place.
I think for those tired out with it the M.O. should be simply to ignore it. Let those with less arduous days who still have some mental and emotional energy to spare take care of it. I also know that negativity is exhausting but how rewarding it can be to help someone up, and that it takes repetitive hard work.
Agreed, there in lies the strength of community!
Yeah, maybe some sort of temporary ban type deal or “time out” (something less infantilizing sounding of course) if someone is being particularly belligerent, a way to take 5 and step away and clear one’s head of need be, I think such a thing could definitely have its uses.
Yes I’m totally open to simply not knowing the full story.
And yes exactly, I know it was also through kindness patience good reasoning and good presentation that I am now epic Dengist POS wumao scheduled to commit suicide by 20 bullets to the back of the head.
Yeah sometimes knowing someone’s story can help other empathise but I’d like to be able to not need that context to be invested in someone’s wellbeing.
I’m still waiting on my goddamn Xi bucks 😤😤😤
