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
steam moderation
steam community (by calling it a cesspit)
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.
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
if it's such an easy fix, why won't we fix it first, so that more people would be able to join the anti-car movement? I never said whe should have x or y tho. Just that we should have x before having y.
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.
how tf am i supposed to care about cars if i don't have anywhere to live? A roof above your head is at the literal bottom of the Maslow pyramid, as it's a basic need. People won't care about anything unless those are satisfied.
So yes, homes are more important issue even if cars is your priority
is it tho? Or youtub is just profitable enough to neglect the compute overhead cost?
