    Oh, I see. You’re simping for the owner of the website. Despite the fact that, in the article you posted, it was the police who did all the work and the website owner who did not.

      You haven’t answered my question. If you dislike anonymity that much, why are you hiding it? It’s important because a lot of people, especially on places like this, are fans of anonymity.

      If you shout loudly about how awful something is but neglect to mention that your proposed solution is harmful in some other way, then you’re being dishonest. Using pointlessly charged language like “simping” just contributes to that.

      And in the article, the police would not have been able to do any work if they hadn’t been informed with the help of the owner. Your dismissal is backpedaling: you asserted that K-Brooks didn’t do anything to stop abuse on the site, but he did, by encouraging prosecutions against people who used the site to commit abuse. You never demanded that he get out there and citizens’ arrest the guys himself, because you knew that would be a stupid thing to demand.

        Then why don’t you quote the police, rather than the website owner that you simp for?

          If you want to ask questions you have to at least pretend to argue in good faith: I’ll answer as soon as you produce something resembling an answer to mine.

            You attributed things to two articles that were not in the articles. Good faith? Where?

              If you want to challenge me on that then go for it.

              I’ll respond after you reply to my question.

                Do you know the difference between making claims and providing evidence?

                  I joined Lemmy recently so you have the privilege of being the first person I block. I hope you learn how to have a discussion without insulting people and having a tantrum when you don’t like the answers you get. I would’ve been perfectly happy to discuss how the articles I mentioned led me to doubt the claim you made, but not if you consider yourself above doing your share of the discussion.
