We ought to fork Lemmy and include features it’s badly missing, like the ability for users to block whole instances, and to better enable admins to block brigadeers and spammers who make alts.

Username checks out

Wait. You people can’t remove the batteries from your phone? 🤨 My phone is only 2 years old and I can take off the back and remove mine whenever I want. The fuck kind of shit companies are you buying from?

AI generated pictures suck

Whales are endangered for the most part

🤔🤔🤔 Okay, now that I am done slapping the shit out of alt-right dipshit .worlders and the other knuckledraggers taking advantage of the situation to bully you, OP, allow me to throw in my two cents.

How could one set up their life such that it would be impossible for people like that to rob one of their livelihood? How could one make it impossible for others to shun or ostracize them?

This is the main question and the answer’s honestly pretty simple: achieve financial independence, buy some land and start a farm somewhere, and spend your golden years in peace and watch the sun set with your doggos. Or kitties, if you’re a cat person. Maybe some cows, pigs, sheep and horses too.

In the meantime, your best tactic, and the one that stands the best chance at getting what you apparently want, to have riches and be well-liked, is to simply force other people to accept you. When people cancel you, they’re doing it to fulfill a goal: to drive you away from the society, and the best way to combat that is to stand your ground and when applicable, fight back. Sue motherfuckers left and right for defamation if they lie and make shit up. Refuse to shut your doors if they try to boycott your business and appeal to members of the other dumb political tribe in your community to drive up sales. Get insurance and build an emergency fund for just such an occasion. And most importantly, be willing to tell people to fuck off when they violate personal and business boundaries, stand your ground and give them a taste of their own medicine whenever you can – record them threatening you or trying to hurt you and post that shit online, be willing to play victim, ally with their enemies, air their dirty laundry, pay off influencers to talk shit about them, and do everything possible to destroy them.

You want to run businesses. That’s corporations, that’s politics. That means you need to nut the fuck up and get your hands dirty.

Why even are you trying to start a business? What’s the end goal here?

🤣🤣🤣 Leave it to some .world alt-right dipshit to purposefully misconstrue what OP was asking and then beat around a strawman like it’s his second wife.

Oh, and then your ass wants to assert power over OP with talk like:

What you want is something you can’t have.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the sooner you realize this the sooner you can start to chill a little on the worrying.

As if corporations don’t extensively engage in astroturfing, upvote manufacturing, hiring PR firms and running smear campaigns of their own against anyone who tries to challenge them. As if corporations don’t do what OP is asking for information how to do all the fucking time and you’re just taking advantage of someone upset and panicking so you can feel like you have power over someone.

Who cares what they think

Literally everyone else including OP.

Do you have like severe anxiety of something because this is hardcore catastrophizing. 99% of your fears are baseless.

Holy shit, you said almost the exact same thing as the other .world redneck cow-fucker I spanked up above. Are you one person harassing OP with alt accounts? Because that’s sure as fuck what it looks like.

You .worlders are vile, disgusting bigots and you deserve to be DDoSed non-stop. I hope whoever’s doing it breaks into and wipes your stupid-ass instance completely so you are forced to grow the fuck up and stop abusing other people.

The dumb fuck tankies found the thread and are harassing OP in exactly the same manner as they feared, which made OP blow a gasket and edit their post with a rant about it.

Simultaneously showing us that OP’s fears apparently are valid and why we don’t let dumb fucks who worship at the altar of genocidal foreign powers on our servers, at the same time. A double whammy of retardation

True facts

Meh. Most indie games are mid. Stardew Valley is just boring garbage and you can’t even get the latest version on your phone.

Video games haven’t been worth playing for a long while now.

Still waiting for the ability to block instances as a user.

They sure are, bro. They sure are

And what’s most important is you putting smart people down to make yourself feel superior to them

Why isn’t there a feature to allow individuals to block whole instances?

Just let the community do it themselves.

It literally wouldn’t even matter, you’ll just deny it and refuse to concede even the most minor of points because for you, debate is not a means to find truth, it’s a power play. We’ve all seen it countless times. We know your game, your patterns of behavior, and since you do not want to play fairly because you’ll know you’ll lose, you don’t get to play at all. You don’t get to participate in discussions with us, especially not me. You’re isolated to your cult now. I hope you find happiness in choosing genocide.

Holy fuck, you right-wing traitors are out in full force today, aren’t you?

No you don’t get what I’m saying, because I am explicitly telling you I am not playing your game. My ethics are my personal boundaries, not trivialities up for debate. OP wanted to know what they were, so I shared them. That does not make it open for debate, nor is my refusal to allow it to be put up to debate, up for debate.

Take the hint and go away.
