I'm amazed at how trusting everyone is. A user shows up saying they've just been perma banned for doing nothing and saying nothing, and that all of their appeals were used up because the mods were being unreasonable meanies. And the reason for the ban was that someone was sifting through every single profile on the server list one by one and happened to see a naughty word?

I have no idea what actually happened, but gosh, this all sure does sound very plausible and trustworthy.

Clearly you haven't seen the Discord Mods memes and how true they actually are lol.

i don't deserve this much attention ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And yet here you are asking for it. Clamoring for it. BEGGING for it. And here we are 32 replies deep into giving you exactly what you want.

Can someone lock this thread please? There is no worthwhile discussion happening here. The steam forums are for discussion about steam games, not complaints about other internet forums.

If someone chooses to announce that they are a bigot in their profile, I am allowed to judge them for it, and/or ban them from my online community. this is not ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rocket science. It is basic.

This is for discussion of the game, nobody cares that you're suffering the consequences of your actions on some discord server.

Moderators and certain individuals in general don't really have any internal strength so a facade of strength must be portrayed externally to validate their ego. It is the child lashing out because it is incapable of overcoming an obstacle by normal means so resorts to the only method it can, to abuse violence for the sake of securing itself. The typical keyboard warrior on a power trip essentially.

I do miss the glory days of the internet, uncensored unbridled degeneracy with a strong undercurrent of free thought expressed to its ultimate form, aside from spam and cp I honestly don't care what someone posts online. But nowadays you can't even make a sarcastic ♥♥♥♥ joke or they'll think you're dog whistling lmao. There's something wrong with these people who see enemies at every corner and are paranoid about everyone being a terrible person if their views don't align. I honestly think and am proven time and time again that these people have more corpses and unresolved trauma hidden in their closet than any one else.

Also I think the argument that the internet is a ''private / corporate space'' is a dumb argument, it's clearly not and should not be treated as such. It is called a forum for a reason. Otherwise it would've been called a 'private meeting'. Y'all are tripping trying to hide behind private ownership when it comes to censorship. These are public communities unless a location is strictly restricted to a set of individuals no greater than a handful or by strict means of conditions which by nature exclude certain individuals.

Or they are just robots with no internal monologue. In some religions they call them people without the "spark" (or no soul), might be the descendants of the golems. It makes them easy to program by the mass media.

Yo you got any sources that I can see for that claim regarding the cultures which share that thought?

I find it fascinating since it is often said that people who can't imagine things share the same fate. However I myself used to have complete aphantasia (not able to imagine anything, just a giant black screen) but have been able to teach myself to actually have imagination. I've always dreamed every night for example, whereas some people I know never have dreams or extremely rarely.

I think aphantasia is a different thing all together but perhaps its somewhat related to not having an internal monologue? The spark and the golem come fro kaballah(jewish mysticism). But you will find similar concepts throughout other religions.

Huh guess you learn something new everyday. Still I wonder whether having an internal monologue really makes you not have the spark. When I'm hyper focused I don't tend hear my own voice either. Many who claim not to have an inner voice seem to have much stronger imagination to compensate. Rather than hearing ones own voice they see their own monologue in speech for example as if it is written down. Personally I think the spark has more to do with how you move internally inside your own mind and are able to reflect upon your true self and the nature of others. Even though I never had any imagination in my teens, I was able to conceptually understand practically any concept even though i couldn't visually imagine it. Now I can do both visually imagine it as well as conceptually keep it only as an idea, a flash of lightning so to speak.

I wish the Jester award never existed. People getting thirsty for 100 points to buy anime backgrounds and the like. Really added a layer of Reddit on the already trash fire Steam discussions.

The spark is more the "quality" of the soul, rather than the lack of. One could say its
a level of sapience. Animals have souls of lower quality. Which is why some humans are seen as not much better than some animals.

I dont think anyone hears themselves constantly. It can be really exhausting when i have days where there is a lot.

That kind of means they still have a form of inner monologue, no? It is just in a different format.

Is that not what an inner monologue is? If you are experiencing your emotions or actions out loud its not really a monologue is it?

I think again this is the same for most people. If you have a cosy life as a protected teen there just not much to monologue about. Secondly the brain is still developing so it might just be spending time absorbing information rather than reflecting. It will differ from person to person i think though.

I'll preface this by saying that I am a diehard free speech advocate and also a progressive, politically. I will fight for anyone's right to say what they want to say, when restrictions actually impinge upon people's rights. And the latter is the important part. That said:

"The internet" isn't a private/corporate space, no. However, individual websites ARE NOT "the internet." The websites have owners, either individuals or corporations. "The internet" is merely the means by which you access various websites. In some cases, especially in the case of things like forums and social media platforms, websites can have terms of service, and in some of those terms of service it will be stated that in order to use the service they provide, you agree to not do "x," "y," or "z." They are within their rights to do this, as these are NOT publicly-owned services. So, if you then decide to do "x" anyway, then they can terminate your account or deny you access or whatever, and they are within THEIR rights to do so.

I've never used Discord, but as I understand it, anyone who signs up for an account can have a server. Therefore, that person or company or whatever can then make the rules that their users of their server agree to abide by. You break the rules after agreeing to abide by them, you get kicked out, and they're within their rights to do so, too.

I don't understand why this stuff is so difficult for people to understand.
