  • IMHO, if you want an echo chamber then make a private community. Public spaces should be open to all, and banning used as a last resort - and even then only as a tool to force a “cooling off” period, so temporary bannings only (at least at first). People can just create another login to harass your group anyway, so permanent bans seem stupid & pointless. If someone just won’t stop even after multiple month-long bans, then permaban if you wish, but they’ll be back under another name out of resentment and anger.

    Maybe Lemmy could use a “controversial commenter” flag - not sure if should be set by mods or voting history - which people could use to block threads from those types of people if they don’t want to deal with such. This would allow those who want to debate to do so, and those who don’t to choose to be oblivious of such discussion.

    This has been an off the cuff response, so not thought out much. I expect to be destroyed for such stupid ideas, but hope they’ll prompt some useful discussion.

    Now that’s a great idea! Using Statler & Waldorf (the old hecklers from the balcony) for Peter Falk’s Grandpa role ought to be hilarious!

    I’m gonna be spending hours now trying to figure out which Muppet to assign as each character from TPB - like who gets stuck as Prince Humperdinck (or the six-fingered man)? Thanks… 🙄

    EDIT: noticed I somehow dropped the word “or”.

    I’d rather my friends than the ones you seem to have with the annoyingly odd behaviors. 🤨

    EDIT: Love the downvote from someone I’m guessing took this comment seriously. Chillax, my dude (or dudette, or dudex, or whatever you prefer).

    I don’t like musicals because I’m there for a story that’s believable, and that I can relate to - nobody just breaks out in song when they get dumped, for example. Muppets get a pass because I already had to suspend my disbelief in order to even want to watch them.
