Never defended anyone. I explained why you’re making of this situation a bigger deal than it is, but i do not condone the behaviour of the person from your post. Stop thinking in extremes. As i said previously, there’s still a report button on everybody’s steam profile.

And while you’re claiming that i’m blaming everyone, you’re the one, who blamed

1. steam moderation
2. steam community (by calling it a cesspit)
3. me

i was only blaming you for doing a counterproductive job, as there are wrong ways of doing a seemingly good thing. Instead of reporting the person in question and blocking them, you’re spreading the screenshots there, on lemmy of all places, crying about how bad the steam moderation is. The only thing you might achieve by doing it like this is stroking your ego. You said the person in quesiion spent all weekend spamming? Did you report them in the first place? Or whining on lemmy about how much of a cesspit steam is was your first instinct?

There are no steam representatives here, you haven’t provided any links for people from here to go and report the troll. In other words, your post is of no substance, and you’re either too ignorant to do it the right way, or you’re purposefully posted it to instill tribalistic behaviour.

Not only you think in categories like “us vs them”, but also self-righteously force it upon everyone else. This is a way of spreading even more hate than there already is. You’ll only end up in an isolated echo-chamber full of hate, not much better than the people you hate so much yourself, practically taking their place, instead of being better than them. Good luck in your self-destructive endeavour.

but of course. I never said otherwise. it’s your words about it meaning “frontier” in russian is what i was debating, please read my comment again.

The word “Ukraine” itself doesn’t mean anything in russian nor ukrainian, it’s just a name for a state

i like how easily you can disregard my “uninformed opinion”, but you can’t disregard a very informed, it would seem, screaming of a random kid.

everybody has the block button, given that everybody presses it, the person spreading “hatespeech” would be simply ignored. Not to mention, that there is a report button on everybody’s steam profile page.

The ‘bigger deal’ you mention is the hundreds of users who have already left…

if they left insteaad of reporting the person in question and blocking all communications with them (another feature of steam btw), i can only pity their inability to use the software at hand properly. Not to mention, that “hundreds of people leaving” sounds like a plain dramatization, if non an entirely made-up fact.

i’m sorry, but of all people, you’re the uninformed one, as, it seems, you have no clue how the words work. Spoiler, it’s not the slurs that make the words hurt.

The longer alarmists like you cry about a kid shouting slurs, the longer a behavior like this will be seen by the kids like this one to be effective at bringing the attention, the more this practice would be widespread.

By the way, the fact that you’re all worked up about something as dumb as a single word means the kid achieved exactly what they wanted.

if everyone blocks them, they’ll just get ostracized. Reaction is what such people want. It’s not a targeted hate, it’s a provocation by inappropriate behaviour.

L on steam moderation side, but you make of it a bigger deal than it actually is imo

how about you explain to me than? What a certain term means is a matter of agreement rather than discussion. The same word could have different meanings in different contexts after all.

I’m rather more curious about your thoughts on my USSR = state-wide corporation take tho.

exuse me le foque

“Jesus is a hologram”

was not something i expected to hear

i’m not talking about the overthrowing itself, but rather about what came after. Before leninists established their rule, there was a period of anarchy, just like there was in the 90s, not to mention that for people of a less internationalist view, USSR rule was just as tyrannical.

I am starting to suspect you see history not as dialectical process but as set snapshots.

you’d have to explain to me how my words you quoted made you think what you thought. The way USSR was at the end of it is a result of dialectical process.

What i said there is, while (after NEP) the banking system was nationalized and even small enterprises shut, enterprise is still an enterprise, even the nationalized one. USSR before perestroika is basically a country-wide corporation, and after perestroika it’s just a plain capitalist country, so i don’t see why you oppose ussr to capitalism, when saying that “capitalists came and forced ussr to crumble”. I know that soviet propagenda would claim otherwise, but capitalists were inside all along, they just had monopoly on everything, and were referred to as government.

Call me dumb or whatever for all i said, but i think that eversince people understood that money should circulate rather than be hoarded and kept, anything we do is inherently and unavoidably capitalistic, thus categorizing a subset of people as “capitalists” in opposition to other subset is inherently wrong.

i fail to see the connection. Literally the same kind of chaos occured when the revolution happened in 1917. Not to mention, that for capitalism to be “introduced” it should be foreign in the first place. USSR, especially late one was quite capitalistic itself, albeit with it’s own uniquie flavor.

bro, the 90s of the post-ussr region was literally ruled by gangs and otherwise criminal mob. It had nothing to do with any doctrine, as the politicians didn’t matter much.

And yes, i wholeheartedly agree, we can’t compare any two countries from two different times, even if they occupied the same territory, as we’d inherrently ignore lots of historical context that way.

do you perhaps know the specifics of the “socialism” fall in now-post-ussr region? Because it was more of introduction of total anarchy and rule of the strongest than it was the introduction of capitalism.

Of course USSR was better than the crysis which consequences we’re suffering to these days.

sorry, it’s not really related to the discussion you had with the lad, i’m just in a rambling mood ig :D

no wonder, considering how exactly that capitalism looked like, and how “well” people where with handling their finances.

Collapse of the USSR in terms of how destructive it was is comparable to the one of Roman Empire. It was litaral anarchy in the 90s.

Lots of people lost all their money they hoarded in a single moment, simply because just keeping the money hidden in a safe place was considered prime financial safety. And then lots of people lost their money again as they had no idea how to handle their finances properly, and people like Mavrodi emerged with their financial pyramid schemes, promising huge profits for all the investors.

tbf, USSR did great, especially considering that basically whole world pressured and opposed it in many ways. It still managed not only to persist, but also to help other countries. But comparing its economics to even all the combined economics of all the countries that were a part of it at the time is not fair, as USSR had in total more than 70 years to develop, and was occupying vast expances of land that had big cities, lots of fertile soil and just as much of any other resource. If you want to make a more fair comparison, you should compare it to EU.

*gasp*

well, i guess your pc got into a pretty certain state of being, at least for that evening, so technically it worked:)

the only people making a mobile os their whole personality i know of are apple users

yeah, i’m suffering with dental problems whole life myself, people that happen to have them none or minimal are blessed

is having a baby tooth problematic in any way (besides the aformentioned trouble)? I imagine them to have weak roots and be more succeptible to corrosion?

ooh, poor lad

oh, no free teef :(
