OP’s mind is already made up, as you can see. They just wanted to ruffle up some feathers. They aren’t here for actual debate.

They’re “just asking questions” in the Steven Crowder and Ben Shapiro way.

The incel freaks are unfortunately everywhere, especially now that they’ve been emboldened by the current political climate.

This comment thread of theirs was likely the start, but probably not the first time they’ve thought about this.

Not just rich people, also stupidity is a threat to democracy but how to fix it?

Unfortunately, most people didn’t realize their instance and replied in good faith. Someone replied to them basically saying that education was dismantled to keep people stupid to benefit the rich, and then OP replied with a lovely comment hinting at eugenics.

Trust me there are people who even using the best education they stop being stupid is like it is in their genes.

They commented that right before this post. Notice how they wanted to “fix” stupidity, and then they tried to pull the conversation into supporting eugenics.

trying to get opinions from other people on Lemmy

Basically the “just asking questions” classic. mgtow is right wing bullshit, and it always has been. Your comment right before you made this post was on this topic, except you just outright said that stupidity was in people’s genes. You’re “just asking questions” about eugenics and then calling people weird, all while being on the mgtow instance. I might be weird, but at least I’m not on the mgtow instance with all the other right wing incel freaks that can’t get laid.

Also, look at the rest of your comment history. It takes no genius to see through your BS.

Your instance and post history says otherwise.

ECC these days is decent, I wouldn’t hate it even in my gaming PC. It’s the HBM that I’m worried about.

Ah, touched a nerve did I? Sorry that you can’t fuck, you’re missing out. Missing out so much, apparently, that you feel the need to do a little bit of eugenics. What a sad state, indeed.

Surprisingly, Craigslist is rather active in my area. It’s still not as active as marketplace, but it makes it possible to get by without having an FB account.

lmao, you sure you’re not just upset that no one wants to fuck you because you have a shitty personality?

Oh absolutely on the last part. This was a huge deal with COVID, and is really why I wore a mask all of the time (and am starting to once again).

Do we need to worry about ourselves if vaxxed?

I need to gain weight and was recommended to eat nuts. The only problem is that I’m deathly allergic to tree nuts and even peanuts can be cross contaminated. The closest I’ve been willing to go is peanut butter.

At least with the X1C there’s a third party firmware (X1Plus)

lmao

If this supported daylio (and the mood tracking that daylio uses), I would immediately switch.

just been cycling through them over and over again, if someone wanted to block them for curation, they should not have had a problem to do so by now. And I do have plenty that I don’t post from for comm making.

It’s good that you’ve narrowed it down, but cycling through them will continue to cause people to think you’re somehow a spam network.

You’d be surprised, Ive definitely had people ask me about instances that I’ve posted from. Especially funnier named ones like toast.ooo

I’m not asking for hard data, to be clear, but I would still argue that for the amount of people that see your posts (a lot, since you post a lot), the amount of people asking you questions about your instances is tiny. Most users don’t even comment, so the math there doesn’t really add up.

A big reason a crosspost won’t show, is if the other post is on a comm that isn’t federated with your instance or hasn’t pulled that specific post yet

But leaving a link to the original post would always show. Just like boost automatically does. You can see an example in this post: https://infosec.pub/post/40397999

basically by interconnecting instances I mean I’m encountering comms that the instance hasn’t federated with yet because nobody has subscribed from their instance to it. And nobody on that instance can see content from that comm until someone subscribes to it

I mean, that’s fine, but you don’t need to post from the account do to that. It doesn’t even need to be named with your username since you’d never post with it to begin with. It’s already an invisible action. So again, it’s not necessary to make your username seemingly associated with negative views such as spam networks or ban evasion to help instances with this. The cons still outweigh the pros.

Yea, but a big difference is, none of my accounts are actually banned from anywhere

It’s a low bar, to be honest.

I agree with you regarding Lund, however you aren’t floating these instances around in a positive way. A positive way would be much more organic and ideally you’d only post from one to really give it the positive energy it might deserve.

To be very clear here, I did not call you a spam network or spammer nor did I intend to do so. I said that it’s what your accounts look like at first glance to users that don’t know who you are. Lividweasel is saying this very thing, that they thought you were a spammer of some kind at first. This, and your unintended side effect of making Lemmy more challenging to curate, is really the main thing I’ve mentioned time and time again. I’m glad you’re at least willing to acknowledge that it’s making it more difficult for users to curate their feeds.

I do not agree that you’re boosting other instances simply by posting from them, and I don’t think the side effect you’re creating is worth the price. Further, I would argue that most users typically do not pay attention to the instance a user is from, especially when simply upvoting a post.

I also still don’t understand why you have to use the accounts you create communities with. Why not pick a primary and only post with that account? It would eliminate the “side effect” if you did that one simple thing.

The cross posts do not show properly in my case, only sometimes do I see them on your posts. Luckily, clients like Boost add a link to their original post when I cross post. It makes the cross post always show. You can see how buggy Lemmy is regarding baked in cross post links, since almost everyone above is saying that they can’t see that in their app. Why not add your own baked in link so that everyone can see that it’s a cross post?

What do you mean “better interconnecting smaller instances”? If it’s through cross posting, I doubt it, seeing as you don’t include the cross post link for maximum effect.

I also agree with lividweasel in that I grew to have a negative view on your army of accounts. It’s not necessarily your posts, but rather the way you post with dozens of accounts. Not saying that’s deserved, but if it happened to two of us, how many others get the same views? That can easily be fixed by simply posting from one account, instead of seeming like a spam network or ban evader. The only other user that I’ve seen do this type of thing is Monk, and I know your views of him.

Why use so many accounts? Don’t give me the “I’m supporting smaller instances” take. It’s not supporting smaller instances when you make them look like they’re part of your spam network. If it’s to create communities on them, why not just post to them specifically? Why post to one of the larger instances with a million accounts?

It only serves to make it look like you’re a spam network while also making it next to impossible to block your posts. Users will try to block you, think they’ve successfully curated their feeds, only to have you turn up again. It’s not a great Lemmy experience.

It also is not a good look to strip any reference to the OP, cross posts exist for a reason. It just makes it look like you’re stealing people’s posts and trying to make them your own.
