  • well i still dont see disrespect or invalidation of they way you feel, unless defederation makes you question what is real around you, which i guess i assumed you didnt feel “crazy or insane” due to people disagreeing with you

    and did you even read that thread? this is what you replied to that i saw

    right? it wasn’t anywhere near a big deal or an insult to other instances it’s “we don’t have the resources to handle any possible bad actors from big instances with loose >registration requirements, so we’re defederating from them until we feel that we can handle it”

    the correct response to this is “oh, okay; hope they figure it out such that they can federate with us again in the future”; people are blowing this out of proportion

    how was that gaslighting or disrespectful to the way you felt about it. where am i being disrespectful, outside of disagreeing with you?

    Edit: furthermore aren’t you doin the same thing

    a reply of yours further down

    I don’t believe you to be honest. I haven’t seen any hostility towards beehaw admins, or any toxicity whatsoever on the fediverse at all, whether lemmy.world or otherwise. You claim that the only thing you see is people being extremely hostile. So where are they?

    are you not, by your definition gaslighting them?


  • quote me

    i never said that at all. i have done nothing but respect you and your feelings about this matter, while giving you my quite reasonable take

    i know we dont have to agree, thats why were not in the walled garden right? i welcome opinions that are different than mine, but you also have to respect what im saying right?

    which it certainly doesnt feel like your giving me any benefit of doubt or anything. just assume im just some jerk



  • you are allowed!

    but i dont agree with you

    you see the difference right?

    ive been in the same threads and I have seen none of what you’re talking about, even looked through your history

    mostly it seems to be people trying to reasonably explain thats the game we’re playing. they get to do that, and they will not be the only one. Federation and all this is a fairly new thing, there will be pains like this going forward.

    in addition, they have not made it permanent. it was about their carefully crafted community. is that lame? maybe, but thats the point of a decentralized platform. Their admins get ultimate control, lemmy.world gets the same freedom

    and further more, the whole reason this spat started was your claim of gaslighting happening to you because of some commenters disagreeing with your opinions. which that doesnt fit the definition of the very serious and very damaging technique


  • why are you so upset in general? have people said you couldnt be upset about it? or were people trying to explain something about a pretty new piece of software? i

    ive looked through your history and its very aggravated.

    you do know that i cannot deny you your feelings, no matter how hard i might try? im just a UN somewhere in the world, your feelings are real and your own

    you can keep using gaslighting incorrectly too, i aint the word police, but you are using the word objectively incorrectly. which im a sucker for letting people know

    but maybe you should think about how your presenting yourself. believe what you want about whatever dude, but you do post here publicly, which implies your willing to have discussion about your opinions

    lol maybe this is why beehaw peaced out


  • because you are super mischaracterizing what ive said. i disagree with your opinion, thats true

    i didnt undermine anything, i disagree with your statements

    i told you what the definition of a specific abusive psychological technique, which you are not experiencing on behalf of a different instance

    im not uncomfortable at all, i just dont want to upset you. which it seems you are

    i am not making you question reality, i disagree with your opinions

    beehaw can do whatever they want with their instance, that is literally the point of this platform

    its not a personal attack on anyone here

    is it dumb? maybe

    but its not making you crazy



  • its not gas lighting. the term “gaslighting” to refer to a specific type of manipulation where the manipulator is trying to get someone else (or a group of people) to question their own reality, memory or perceptions.

    the bees aint making you question reality

    what they are doing may be a mistake and misguided, but again, this is a decentralized/federated social media platform. they get to do that

    the beauty of it, if we can focus on the communities in lemmy.world and other places that are federated here, it wont matter in the end. you will still be serviced content and comments

    i dunno man, its not personal is all im sayin
