I used to post quite actively in r/soapmaking since, well, I’m a soap maker.
My wife and I raised the pigs, rendered the lard, and mixed it with other oils and lye to make soap. You know, soap making.
r/soapmaking was filled with people who bought soap that other people made, melted it, mix in perfume and glitter, poured it into moulds, and sold it. I pointed out that they weren’t actually making soap but were doing arts and crafts with soap that other people make.
They set upon my like a bunch of extremist vegans at a BBQ. I said that there wasn’t anything wrong with doing soap arts and crafts but that it wasn’t really soap making since they didn’t actually make soap.
They called me arrogant for not accepting that not making soap was soap making and banned me. I can’t remember whether it was permanent or temporary but I never went back.
Yet here you are having a temper tantrum over being banned for toxicity on Reddit
Is that a straw man or an ad hominem?
Either way is a fucking weak comment.
Do better.
This kind of toxicity is what got you banned from reddit. Can’t you just do your little hobby and let others do it as they want?
It must be really stressful to go through life so angry.
You have clearly misinterpreted the intent of this community and my position on these things. (I’ve edited the sidebar to make it more clear.) I think it’s fucking hysterical that the toxic soap decorating crowd banned me. I mistook r/soapmaking for a sub that would include, you know, people who make soap. I wanted to talk about recipes and processes, successes and failures, but got perfume and sparkles instead. I laughed when they got butt hurt because I didn’t accept the group think that they were making soap as opposed to buying soap that other people made and adding smells and sparkles to it.
I’m not “throwing a temper tantrum”, I’m laughing in their faces and sharing my amusement. I’m sorry you’re so fragile and defensive.
That phrase doesn’t go well with:
You’re projecting, and yup. I can see why they banned you, whether you were right or not.
Walk away from your computer. You’re going to have an aneurysm.
Yup. Projecting.
I just noticed you’re the mod of this community. I hope it takes off with better content.
It will probably shrivel up and die within a few days but that’s ok. It’s achieved it’s intended goal.
its* intended goal.
Wait… You made this sub because you got banned from Reddit? This entire place is so you can cry about being banned for your toxicity?
No, I made it because I got banned by c/vegan on Lemmy along with a bunch of other people who responded to a post that came up in All so that I could make fun of them. I just added the two stories from Reddit because they are also funny.
I’m sorry that you misunderstood.
You get banned through no fault of your own many places you go, huh?
K
lol that’s a yes.
I was rooting for you, but now I don’t know, man.
I mean, “…temper tantrum…” could be either a straw man (I’m making fun of them, not raging about them so the comment could be a disingenuous attempt to bait me into addressing the straw man rather that a genuine comment on my satirical position) or it could be an ad hominem (attacking me instead of my comment.)
I think it’s fucking hysterical that they then accused me of projecting when it seems to be them that is throwing a temper tantrum because they don’t like the fact that I won’t accept that soap decorating and soap making are the same thing. They’re butt hurt. They called me toxic twice, suggested that I was throwing a temper tantrum, and said I was projecting. At this point I don’t give a shit what they say and I’m just winding them up for fun.
