  • Wow so now my inbox is getting brigaded because you came into a community about a podcast to shit post about the host. You can not like ethan, that’s fine. You can criticize the content of the podcast (especially current episodes, not a cherry picking of stuff from half a decade ago), that’s fine. But I asked you politely for days to find another place for personal criticism of a person instead of cherry-picking specifically aligned talking points, and you did the cowardly “I’m just posting things he said, what’s wrong with things he said?” You don’t participate in the podcast, you’re coming in overlapping with a crowd that HAS crossed from criticism to harassment, and I’m squashing it before it spirals. If you hate the podcast, block the community and go about your day. Don’t go crying about it and spreading my name to people who think they’re freedom fighters by spamming my inbox.

    That’s the comment I hit the ban button about, but the entire thread is the evidence. Which is posted in the ban message. You have selective attention to try to farm outrage, it colors what you say and what you hear, and I think you follow a pattern that is actively participating in the decline of discourse, where you pick a side then selectively use things to just reinforce your incorrect points.

    Edit: Providing context, I assumed people would follow the link in the posted ban message: https://lemmy.world/post/51982261
