OOP is pretty readable though. What would be the alternative, functional programming with no ORM?

I dunno, you’re whole stance is claiming things that run counter to my experience and I don’t feel wrong having attacked ML at all. You can say both sides do it, but even in that case it’s wrong. I’m not looking to find a place that strictly lines up with my views so I can just live in an air tight echo chamber. I speak my mind in all communities and have only gotten banned in ML because I don’t fit the mold. Maybe I’ve not come at people in world “the right way” like you have to get censored but I’m open to being shown some instances of it.

I’d love to show you examples of my normal comments removed, but they’ve all been removed lol. What would you like me to show you, I guess I could screen shot it from the mobile app on my side.

If you’re Marxist and want to live in that ML bubble that’s fine, but I’m not interested in a community that is so strict in what can and can’t be said, especially if it’s going to host non political communities. It seems like reinforcing group think. If it’s all about Marxism then only host those communities, hosting others seeems like a slimy way to inject politics into other things.

I’m talking about normal comments. Remove politics at all. Both communities have what we can call “conversations about benign things.” I’ve seen more censorship in ml than world in that area.

Then if we do go to politics, I can attack both sides on “home turf” and only receive bans from one side. Sure my user is a .world user, no idea if that factors in. I’ve just seen a difference in how the two approach similar situations and in don’t agree with how ml has handled those. That’s really all it is for me. I could be wrong and like I said, if I see world censoring in a way I disagree with I’d treat them just the same.

I don’t know if I’d consider myself anarchist. My views don’t seem to fit into one of the labels going around very well. I find myself agreeing with parts of multiple stances. And disagreeing with parts of multiple stances, which is where my different experiences with censoring come in.

I’m not saying you’re wrong or even that ml is a bad place. I’m just sharing my experience and reasoning for avoiding it. Other may agree or disagree, I’m not the source of truth by any means haha. But I’d really love to see the censorship toned down in general, across the board.

Sure, that may be true. But I’ve been censored on ml around non political issues on ml and have attacked liberals and leftists on world without being censored. I’m one person, so my experience isn’t enough to make a broader claim but others have shared similar experiences.

I don’t know how you can read the very clear accounts of censorship I showed you that I *personally* experienced and claim that it doesn’t happen on Lemmy.world

I did not say you said it didn’t happen on .world. That’s not my claim.

I mean, come on.

Edit: this being down voted shows the very problem of group think. I showed facts and quotes to show an obvious contradiction. Gets down voted. They even admitted to misspeaking , yet here we are, it makes me laugh and it’s how people are driven away. I see this in ML so much.

I never said it doesn’t happen on world. If fact I said I’m not so naive as to think it doesn’t happen. See, it’s this kind of thing I’m talking about. I never once said world doesn’t censor but you put those words in my mouth and try to use it as a talking point. This is a very common experience on ml for me as well.

And it’s not me saying things that are for or against any ideology. If a community bans me for saying a fact (not a strong feeling, because the word fact has really been abused) and linking scholarly resources, I won’t participate in that community. More so, if they ban me for having a normal conversation, yeah, I’ll avoid them. I’ve argued with liberals many times on world, haven’t been banned once. I’ve even gone a little far I can admit, no ban. I had one comment removed that was a fair call because I was heated, that’s it. I’ve not experienced any of the nonsensical censorship on world. If I do in the future, I’ll move away from them as well.

So ml bans and censors people with opposing views, I mean there’s the answer right there.

People could be moving away from world, sure. I honestly don’t care as I’ve never seen the extremely heavy handed censor like I’ve seen in ml. I’ve not seen posts about people moving like I have with ml but I could be wrong. At the end of the day it doesn’t impact me much. I’m just as happy to participate in those communities they move to as well, just not ml because of my numerous poor interactions.

You say world censors more than ml and I appreciate that you have had that experience but it’s not what I’m seeing and it doesn’t seem to be what others are seeing. Censoring happens, I’m not so naive to think it doesn’t. But the things I’ve been banned for saying in ml, and comments I’ve had removed that are literally just saying facts with sources is crazy to me.

You edited the comment before so I put the response in that, seemed silly to copy paste it again lol. But tldr, I may have been extreme is saying it’s you, by I’ve seen people interact with you, myself included, why get censored and banned. I’ve looked over everything I’ve said and couldn’t find anything ban worthy outside me being a world user and going against what the community thinks.

Right, you’re assuming. So why come after me for doing the exact same thing you’re doing. Seems like the definition of hypocrisy.

Also I’ve never been censored on world, but I’ve been censored on very normal and calm comments on ml dozens of times to the point where I gave up. Everyone has their own experiences but mine seem to line up with the majority which lends a bit more credibility.

Edit to your edit: you may have no mod powers but you are the echo chamber that is being reinforced. I’ve had interactions with you where you’re being very aggressive or sarcastic and I’m sticking to facts. Guess who got banned or comments deleted, me. I mean maybe it’s because you’re an ml user, but those interactions look very bad from the outside and people are seeing that kind of stuff. Literally look at posts today about how people are moving away from ml.

There was no context given. They didn’t say site or community. How do you know it’s about overall activity? You seem to be assuming as much as I am.

Also you, you specially are actually big problem in the ml community. I’ve seen you interact with enough people who all seem to suspiciously be censored… Hrmmm… I’ve also heard plenty of people reference you. You personally have done a lot of damage to the ml community.

Edit: that might have been extreme in calling you out. I won’t remove and try to hide it, but I apologize. To clarify, I’ve seen people who interact with you often been censored, which really discourages conversation, a big part of this platform.

I mean, it’s the ml. People, including myself, have had very bad experiences in ml communities and what I’ve seen is a general consensus to avoid them. As I type this I even expect it to be removed or at least down voted to hell for daring to say this, as ml does. I can accept the community just isn’t for me, but the question was asked.

Haha that’s how much I missed it I guess. Well I do appreciate you clarifying that, I never got a good, concise answer about what people we’re hating on it for.

Maybe. But I think it matters of entertainment it’s not as evil as that. Sure engaging with bad media might fuel them to repeat that behavior, but IMO if it harms no one it’s not an issue. Like for example I’ve read the SoT series a few times and I’m not a Marxist or what have you.

I for sure see the links between SoT and Wheel of Time. I started seeing a lot of things lifted after reading both. But I still find myself liking both for different reasons. I dunno, I’ve accepted that I do like some things that are generally viewed as “bad” and I’ve come to terms with it haha.

Damn I legit liked this book, one of my top series. I just enjoyed the magic system, the antagonists, and the over the top nature. I might just have bad taste though lol.

It won’t happen online so just give up and ignore what’s happening. This is so defeatist and exactly what corrupt politicians want, apathy.

I would say, if you’re interested, the best way to see if it clicks is to give it’s best system it’s best chance. Which IMO is the skill spec. Find a class with a spell you like, give it a few points to transform and if it’s not getting you by then it never will.

For me it’s a perfect middle ground. More complex than Diablo but not as over the top as PoE. Not for everyone though, I totally respect that.

Last Epoch is everything I wanted Diablo 3 to be without being a bit too much for me like PoE can be. Highly recommend it.

Surely you can see tha difference between “conflict,” which implies roughly equal power and moral responsibility

It does not imply that at all, that’s a massive assumption on your end that you use as a point to press. Throughout history the term conflict has be used to talk about many wars/battles and not all of them were equal, at all.

I’m saying I’m a conflict there can be genocide. But if anything genocide doesn’t even capture the full scale of what’s happening beyond the pointless killings. Conflict is a much broader scope, including things like economic impact, infrastructure damage to the county, etc. It’s not one or three other. I agree genocide is bad and this conflict is bad and you’re arguing with me about how I’m not saying it’s bad enough because I used a word you don’t fully understand. What are you even doing?

You need to educate yourself on the terms being used and stop making assumptions then using those assumptions to label people. You’re mindset, while focused on something different, is bordering on MAGA.

If America isn’t a democracy why would you vote? Please tell me how that’s mental gymnastics. What’s mental gymnastics is declaring democracy doesn’t exist because you don’t like the candidates.

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying.

Got it, you think democracy doesn’t exist but every citizen has the same power as the president. Lol, from a guy who uses the term mental gymnastics all the time, now I know how you became so familiar with the term.

Here’s an exercise: why do you think fascism is rising in America? Is it ideas, or material conditions?

Because late stage capitalism is strangling the working class. So pro fascist leaders are using that to come into power. Just like every other before then, you blame all the problems on anyone standing in the way of your power and you tell people that you’re the only one who can fix it. Which is exactly, literally, what Trump has done over and over.

Now how about this exercise. Tell me what democracy is, by definition, and how the US does not fit that definition.
