    Yeah I’m sure the extreme obsession they have comes from a good place and they’re accidentally encouraging votes for trump coincidentally

      It’s not an extreme obsession to think every day about an ongoing genocide. In fact, any less is unwarranted apathy. OP’s other traits are less benevolent, but they aren’t showcasing them here, so, again, they’re irrelevant. If OP had mentioned even once that someone should vote for Trump in this thread, I’d agree with you, but you’re the only one bringing it up here, so in this case, you’re the problem.

        What you seem to refuse to want to acknowledge is that the only reason I say any of this here is that I’ve remained silent after reading thousands of their posts and seeing the bad behavior more times than I can count.

        There were even discussions this week between lemmy.world mods about whether to ban them from the instance. From what I’ve seen they absolutely should’ve done that, but given that they didn’t, it’s feeling impossible that they ever will be so yeah I wrote some comments trying to call them out.

        Never once was it my goal to approach it this way but nothing else has worked. Reporting them for being toxic a dozen times has done jackshit, mods themselves agreeing with everything I’m saying here hasn’t either. What would you suggest I try? Assuming you can accept I might be right about any of this.

          Reject bad behavior when you see it. That’s all you can do. In the same way that we need to draw attention to the holocaust over and over even though we know it likely won’t stop it, we need to point out bad behavior over and over again even if it doesn’t stop it. But don’t point out bad behavior when there’s none to be seen - that just weakens your argument.

            The fact that I told you I tried that and it didn’t work just flew in one ear and out the other. I meant it when I said I give up.

              The fact that I said you need to keep trying even as it doesn’t work clearly flew in one ear and out the other for you.

                Okay, in the future I will know not to engage with you. If your position remains firm that as long as he claims to support Palestine, that I must believe him (despite a lot of contrary evidence) and keep my mouth shut, we’ve nothing to talk about

                  You can’t change someone else’s behavior, you can only control your own. The results are the ends, but the means are more important.

                    There was never any indication I was trying to change their behavior. It was pretty self explanatory that I was making others aware of it. Something they apparently give zero fucks about.

        I noticed that you haven’t posted thousands of times on any given topic. I would assume that is more because you’re not an obsessed weirdo with an agenda, and less because you don’t care about the bad things happening on earth.

          You’re right, I’m not doing all I can to raise awareness of the ongoing tragedy. That’s my bad side - feel free to complain about it. I should be doing more.

            Jesus Christ. I’ve done everything I can to show I’m not complaining about the post itself. I give up.
