Hi, mod that banned you in the first place here. What
tool did you use to write your comment?
v elliottcable • 1d
Uh, my fingers, on my iPhone. Although I guess in
2025 we're past being able to prove that.
Darkest fucking timeline.

Are you telling me that you're the sole human that
actually types em dashes and ellipsis characters?

I really shouldn't be wasting my time on this thread,
but good lord you've hit one of my biggest pet
peeves: that typing like an adult now gets you
accused of being ingenuine on the Internet.
I doubt you'll even bother to click the link, because
you've already made your judgement; but feel free to
IF and search for "—" or "..." on, say, one of my
blog-posts from like 17 years ago: https://
web.archive.org/web/20241114074522/http://
blog.elliottcable.name/posts/community.xhtml
Fucking yes, some of us absolutely have been putting
effort into using proper and semantic typography for
decades. No, Als didn't invent that. They were trained
on our data so by definition anything they do is
something that real, actual, humans, actually, do.
Anyway, all of this is beside the point, because I
actually did the thing you blocked me for doing, and
y'all actually believe that thing is ban-worthy, so
we're just wasting eachother's time - but, seriously,
emdashes do not an ML model make, thuverymuch.
Unbelievably rude.</a></label><br><a href="https://files.functional.cafe/media_attachments/files/114/648/886/537/033/369/original/72e71a4385b0163f.jpeg" rel="external">https://files.functional.cafe/media_attachments/files/114/648/886/537/033/369/original/72e71a4385b0163f.jpeg</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/4750433">Untitled attachment</a></label><br></li></ol></footer></blockquote>

I’m unreasonably fucking pissed.
An r/me_irlgbt moderator banned me, and is now accusing me of being an A.I. … … … because I use fucking emdashes and ellipses.
