Universal Monk

Same.

I got banned from there a few months ago, and people from there STILL are mad, and now want me banned from the entire fediverse.

I don’t know if it’s admins there, or just posters there, or what it is about .world that makes them like that.

But those people will fucking stalk you to the ends of the earth. Just today they started a thread called: “I’m Calling For the Fediverse to Ban UniversalMonk” https://lemmy.ca/post/37043777

Like what the fuck? Guys, just block me and move on. The .world drama happened months ago. And they’re still bringing shit up today?! Say what?!

They’re pissed off that even tho they got me banned there, other instances still allow me to post. I don’t ban evade tho, stay outta that place, but it was called to my attention when someone sent me the link because of the new requests to ban me from the entire earth.

It’s crazytown over there. lol

Great feedback! I need to remember this for my communities as well.

Yep, I see your reply now. Didn’t see it before. Good on ya for noticing it. Thanks!

Been there, done that.

.world def has a censorship problem.

And close or not, Trump did win the popular vote, and we just have to accept it and move on. (and no, I didn’t vote for him.)

Dude, you rock. Don’t even bow down to the negs that you are getting. You legit stood up for me even though you don’t agree with me. That’s an admirable, and increasingly rare, trait.

I’m American, and apparently very annoying to some, so I get my fair shair of hate. But at least when it’s thrown my way, I get that some people think I’m a dick.

But you have always been a straight up, no bullshit kind of guy. Honestly we need more admins like you.

You’re one of the reason that this instance is the best instance on Lemmy.

I look at a lot of your measured responses and always tell myself that I should respond to people that way. But I never do, cuz I also devolve and always end up saying shit like, “You keep crying. I’ll keep posting. Please block me if you don’t like me.” lmao

Stay strong, brother!

Oh, way better word. Thank you, I’ll use colleagues from now on,

Not really. I mean I volunteer at the school where I worked, so I still count them as my coworkers… But since I don’t get paid, I guess technically they aren’t. But what would you call them?

You’re on your way brother. The children being grown when you get to the decade that you retire is the big game changer I think. I love my kids, and I actually thought about having more a few years ago, but financially just wasn’t something I could wing.

Plus I worked in an elementary school for my last few days of work, so they sorta all became my kids. And I still volunteer there, so it’s worked out for me.

Now, if my kids would have kids so I could at least have grandbabies, then hey! All the better! lol

Agreed. I basically took early retirement–I’m 55.

My pension is small since I bailed early, but I have zero debt, and very few bills, so I get by just fine. My kids are grown. My house and cars are paid off. Property taxes here are very low.

Sure, I won’t be traveling the world, but the park next to my house is beautiful, and I can see the mountains from my front porch. All is good.

Good luck to ya, mate!

Yep! Wait until you have kids that are older than your co-workers.

Source: My kids are older than many of my co-workers. It sucks.

The only way to fight it is to stay fit as fuck. Oh and retire early like I did. Takes some of the pain out of getting older!

This was an awesome article!

Love your name!

Well put. And I agree!

You should be blocking politics and news subs o Lemmy.world not the other way around lol

Sooooo much this! The poltics subs on Lemmy are toxic crybaby shitholes.

I never bowed down to them, or the Duopoly, or Harris. No matter how much they cried. And it feels fucking AWESOME to have been right!

If it’s .world, of course they banned you. They ban anyone who doesn’t bow down the duopoly. Laugh about it and move on, friend. They are toxic in the c/politics sub over there, these days.

I got banned for “trolling” and “sealioning” because I posted news articles that noted that some polls (from Newsweek and Reuters!) were saying Trump was gaining on Harris. And then not backing down, while also saying I wasn’t voting for Harris.

I stand by everything I said. And the election proved I was 100 percent right.

And that community is even more toxic that before. The modlog there is a fucking shitshow right now. I read it for laughs. :)

There were posters there saying that I was gonna get permabanned from the entirety of Lemmy (and they emailed a lot of admins asking them to ban me!)… all because I voted third party and refused to vote for Harris. LMAO

Yet here I am. The beauty of the fediverse is if they try to silence you on one instance, just jump to another.

The .world community is a joke. All the other intances know how ban-happy they are. Just move on.
