How prevalent is sealioning on Lemmy? - Lemmy.World

Sealioning is when someone pretends to be interested but acts in bad faith to wear out and exhaust whoever they’re responding to. Discuss

Depends how generous or cynically you apply ‘bad faith’.

I’ve never experienced it on Lemmy but then again I don’t usually entertain people who, to me, obviously have little understanding of the topic at hand.

When it’s something I have little knowledge about I tend to lurk if I can or I’ll be more easily swayed one way or the other. If I care enough I go do my own research.

Look up wildginger, if they haven’t deleted it all by now. I kept most of my replies up. I’m still a little shocked

oh my god, did you make a whole post to vague blog about me?

Thats actually genuinely very adorable

Dude, this has got to make you like, at least, a minor celebrity. Normies don’t get pissy posts made about them.
For accidentally disagreeing with someone who takes everything way too far? Nah, he will be the celeb. Apparently he has a history of this. Im just his most recent target
Yep, he was so proud he deleted everything. Don’t worry, I got it saved

I didnt delete anything. As a rule, I dont delete comments. Its pointless in an age of archival.

Now, lemmy sometimes has a moderation glitch when mods across instances removing comments actually removes the comment from the profile of the user.

It also happens sometimes when a post updates from one instance version and overwrites the version your comment was on.

Kind of annoying, but lemmy is young.
