                Careful as you have scared off a few users. On r/Lemmy you were named as one of the mods and users who were politically extreme.

                Not that Reddit holds that much weight but it is something to keep in mind.

                  I couldn’t give less of a shit what people who are still on Reddit think of me. They lost whatever argument they might make by still being on Reddit. I hope they enjoy Google scraping their stupid comments for money.

                    Not arguing the uselessness of opinions about mods, especially on reddit. That said…

                    You do realize that google, and everyone else, scrape the hell out of lemmy right? This shit is 100% public and the nature of federation means that even if some instances officially have some rules against scraping, it just has to be federated to an instance that doesn’t. Only reason the fediverse isn’t talked about more in terms of use as training data is that it has significantly less content, not because it isn’t being used.

                  Wow. Please link to that thread. Squid might not be a moderate, but he would only be extreme to those who support genocide and other fascist crap.

                    Well he isn’t the most extreme and is actually fairly reasonable by Lemmy standards. I know that others have complained so I figured I’d bring it up.

                    Also calling anything you disagree with fascist and genocide is really fair. There is always another side to the story.

                  That is some insane copium. They could have used the Star Trek website mods instead if they actually cared to be truthful. Or the Lem.ee or however you spell it ones.
