The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

There is a big difference in attitude, huh? I don't care so much about who was wrong/right in that thread but aggressively namecalling and strawmanning people over something as irrelevant as the name of a street is just toxic behaviour.

As an afterthought, perhaps if they want to stop being defederated by instances they should have a good long think about how they interact with other communities. Shitposting can be fun but it's stupid and rude when you're entering someone else's space.

There was a huge difference in the tone of conversation before and after dave's temporary defederating, both on the topic of defederating, and the discussion that kicked all this off.

Now there's only two people calling me racist.
