MODERATORS
 

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.

Once again, the issue is that none of them actually participated meaningfully in the discussion, just turned the thread into one big circle jerk.

None of the individual comments were particularly bad, it's the overall effect that is the issue.

[–] AngrilyEatingMuffins@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the overall effect he's objecting to is a general anti-racist sentiment, just to clarify that for everyone

Not wanting to learn a tounge twister of a word to call an ambulance is racist? Or spell it out to every single time you give your address?

It would be an ongoing hassle for the residents.

you don't know the word papa? kangaroo? horohoro is two sounds repeated once.

you're either the laziest or stupidest person in the world. my vote is both.

or just a run of the mill, boring as fuck racist. I guess that's actually my vote as you are entirely unimpressive and mediocre, not even the best at being stupid or lazy

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Would you be happy spelling that out every single time you need to give your address to someone?

And what's with the attitude?

[–] AngrilyEatingMuffins@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

i've spelled it like five times now. oh god the horror my hands are falling off.

"what's with the attitude"

is there a sealion emoji easily accessible?

how would you like to spell "Acacia Avenue" if you called it papakangahorohoro?

Dude, you need to go AFK for a bit I think, you're way too wound up about this.

Says the dude who got so crybaby that people were telling him he was being racist that he decided to try to ban a website

Fucking laughing until I fall over

He's angrily eating muffins. It's the only attitude he has. Just block him

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago

He's definitely angry.

[–] MORTARS@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I mean, look at it

kangaroo

Hi, not trying to start a fight but thought you might be interested; "kangaroo" has no relevance here.

It's ka-nga: "ka" - like the English word "car" but without the R - and "nga" which also rhymes with car and has a soft g like in the English word "sing", not a hard g like in "kangaroo."

Nga might be a bit harder for you, but all kiwis know how to pronounce it, it's the nga in common names like Ngaire and Ngati and "Tutira Mai Nga Iwi".

[–] MORTARS@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No it isn't. It's not hard to remember or say.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sure there's things I find easy to remember that you would struggle with.

[–] MORTARS@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Weird claim since you seem to repeat things a lot, including repeating things I've said back to me. You talk exactly like the guy we've had an issue with on Lemmy.ml who keeps making alts with AI profile pics.
