The bot tracks the current votes, not the entire userbase's votes. Right now it would pass if votes stayed the same until the vote is done, but we give people more time to vote so it is too early to tell rn.

If someone is annoying/frustrating and trolling you, then they are also causing those same disturbances to others such as your users. It is why I ban trolls that are negatively affecting others and do not align with dbzer0. Granted, most of my bans are bots. Grail was annoying for sure and I stopped replying to this user because I didn't want to get banned after seeing others mixing up the capitals. Yes, I struggled at first before realizing blahaj was right about this.

Once Grail started comparing veganism with AI, I felt the troll became more obvious, too obvious. The suffering and deaths of real animals is not comparable to so called 'AI slavery'. This 'AI' is just a LLM spitting random auto-complete with no consciousness. I don't ask that our users become vegan, but to troll vegans and parrot antiveganism is just trolling leftists for no real reason (the hex was based yet again). I don't lose sleep over banning these trolls, YDM imo.

I'm not sure if drag is Grail, I know drone rights was also PM_ME_FAT_ENBIES, but I could not tell for certain that Grail is drone rights (although they shared similarities for sure just like the other 2 you also listed). I also remember MindTraveler, what a fun (/s) person who was always angrily telling off people that Grail didn't like.

Grail is neurodivergent (trans and NPD afaik), so we should be willing to make some accommodations for Their behaviour

Lame copout. They troll and know what They're doing.

Edited for grammar and info

I wish, the textbooks I had to use had dicks drawn all over the pages.

The lounge just has things like a sofa, tv, a red light treatment thing, automatic massage table/chairs, stuff like that. It is completely avoidable. I'm a dummy who signed up for it for the automatic massage stuff, and it was usually broken/malfunctioning when I used it >.<

When I called they said I had to cancel by sending a letter.

I went through something similar while trying to cancel, only instead of a vacation it was somewhere I completely moved to that no longer had planet fitness. Going back and forward with the gym via phone and then letters went nowhere. I finally put a stop on my debit card to end things. I heard they go after people in court or collections at that point, but I was never contacted again about it.

It has been a hot minute for me, but I think the lower $10/month gave you access to everything but their stupid lounge reserved for the higher $20/month tier. You could cancel the $10 anytime but not the $20 tier without paying an extra buyout fee. Also looks like it was increased from $10 to $15 in 2024.

I moved to a place without planet fitness and it was hell cancelling the higher tier since they insisted you couldn't cancel over the internet or phone, only via certified mail, and even then they kept losing my letter. The gyms around me start at $40/month so I do not go to the gym anymore.

If you read all of the words I said its clear im not saying that gender is binary anyways.

It's pretty clear

It was not clear... not to me and others too it seems. I quoted your removed comment because I was so confused. But I think we've already gone over that misunderstanding. Your modlog is public, and is usually what this community looks at, but I get the feeling it has reopened that wound, for that I am sorry. I have said things wrong as well and take the L from them, and learn from them. We are not perfect. Your explanations here were much better, thank you for explaining. I try not to be intentionally hurtful, but even I fail at that.

Lemmy didn't have much content at first so you would run out of things to read after a while. It felt friendly at first, but certain topics still set off people at lemmy to the point I thought about leaving. Then lemmy seemed to improve and I could talk about those topics again, but now there are more trolls (even ones that seem to follow you around since they troll each post or comment talking about something) and spam bots that weren't there before. I think a lot of conflict on forums like this has to do with miscommunication, but sometimes people are just mean and there isn't a fix.

In that case, you completely fumbled your comments (it does sound transphobic). But as I said, you can improve from this. Saying what you said instead that you think gender should not be considered a binary between men or women, and cutting out the rest, would be an improvement and open dialogue.

Edit: just to be clear, I am not calling you a transphobe. I think there was a miscommunication with your removed comment and it is why I tried to clear that up.

My only guess is that about a month before I got banned for saying, (and I am sorry and I really am not trying to hurt anyone and I'm not invalidating anyone's existence)
Is that "nonbinary" is not the most accurate term for people because it, seems to me, to imply that gender is binary. The offensive part is because I think it's popular because the concept of "binary" is popular... (I'm a programmer, I love binary).
It's not like, a big deal to me or anything, I just think there's a better term out there or waiting to be made. non-gendered or something makes more sense but doesn't sound as cool...
I stated my opinion indelicatly and I get why my post was removed... But not being called transphobic or banned from that com for life because I questioned the temporary ban, and then a month later 20 more comms like I'm a Nazi just trying to harass people or something.

I read your removed comment on your modlog and it seems the community did not want you to start a debate and flame war about gender identities. I can understand since nonbinary is not a "futuristic" sounding name that they chose to sound "cool", they are people who are not men or women, but very much do have genders. The nonbinary umbrella is quite large and full of genders. Your comment seemed like you only see man and women as valid genders while nonbinary are seen as nongendered to you, do you see how that comes across? Nonbinary people do have genders, that is why nongendered does not fit at all. They should be the ones to choose their name. From what you said about questioning the ban, it may have been beneficial to listen to them. No matter how close you are to the trans community, you can still make mistakes and say transphobic things. Even women themselves can be misogynistic. But hopefully you can learn from this and improve, we can all improve. I only brought this up as it seems to be relevant to the ban from this post.

Edit: forgot to mention agender matches the term you want to use, nongendered. Nonbinary is not necessarily agender.

You got banned because no one wanted to be around you, there is no nice way to say it. Not just having awful takes, but repeatedly going on rants even after people told you to stop. Whenever someone told you to stop going off-topic and starting what are essentially flame wars, you then started screeching about being silenced. You also bash random people at times about their contributions not being good enough to you, which is uncalled for and toxic. Your article reads like you view yourself as the victim. But you are not one. I am surprised you even made an account just to whine at me on lemmy, which is a leftist social media platform, I'm from one of the anarchist instances even.

If someone made it clear to you that you made everyone uncomfortable, then maybe you would get it (I am guessing you have trouble reading social cues) but instead they "troll hugged" you until they got sick of it. The "code of conduct violations" (aka bigotry) is why they got rid of you. You can write the best code, but it does not mean people will be willing to work with you. You will not be able to find some magical rule to win and get unbanned like a lawyer in a legal case. It is not stalking either when people don't want to be associated with your views, let alone their project they have been working on for years. Your views are harmful to people in real life. But you dismiss the very real harm and hand wave it as a "culture war". That is incredibly messed up.

It doesn't matter what anyone says to you, you disregard whatever people say because you just have to be right on whatever subject comes up and you feel personally attacked like the injustice is happening to you. That is exhausting to be around. You should aim to be more empathetic. Picture why the other people were uncomfortable, why they asked you to stop ranting, why they banned you when they are supposed to hug trolls until they feel safe enough to open up and change (supposedly, I maintain that doesn't work with randos). My solution is to get a therapist, I know that sounds like I'm being mean, but a therapist can literally break this down for you and help you uncover why this happened, all in a safe place. You need to reflect on this. Or you are doomed to keep repeating the same mistakes.

While it is true that this is said to patients, ibuprofen is not enough pain relief. Insertion is often rated as extremely painful, but patients are told it is similar to a menstrual cramp. It was a 10 out of 10 for me, and that was with extra ibuprofen.

Patients’ pain experiences during IUD insertions often do not align with what practitioners perceive that pain to be. One study shows that women rated their highest pain during a procedure at around 65 on a scale of 100, while providers estimated it at around 35—highlighting a deep-rooted disparity between patient experiences and provider perceptions.3

“Women are left in the dark about the reality of this procedure, and that needs to change,” Hart told Verywell. “For many of us, it’s not just mild pinching or cramps, and the first step is to bring this out of the shadows, validate women’s pain, and show them that there are options available to help them manage it.”
