Exact kind of troll, low-quality comment that poisons most of this website. As is the reply by FuglyDuck.

I have the exact same frustration. Reddit has been a complete mess for years. Unfortunately, Lemmy is only slightly better, and still seems to be astroturfed and filled with overconfident, unintelligent people who spread misinformation. I shared the link above on one of the /c/reddit lemmy communities and it was heavily astroturfed and then deleted by a mod for a ridiculous reason.

I posted in various other communities about a completely different topic and the only intelligent response I received was a PM.

I’ve blocked close to a hundred “fluff” (low-quality) communities on Lemmy, so my feed is highly curated. But the fluff/low-quality communities vastly outnumber the high-quality ones. One of the problems may simply be that intelligent people are rare, and are not spending their time on sites like Lemmy.

People keep making threads about this, and speculating that Lemmy might be astroturfed by people who don’t want to see it succeed. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a viable solution. You would need extremely competent and active moderators, or we have to wait until AI becomes advanced enough to neutrally and accurately moderate.

This is one reason I opted to move my Reddit communities to a forum instead of Lemmy. The problem with that is small forums don’t show up on search engines. Some forum software teams are joining the fediverse though, so that should help. But not all forums have intelligent people either, so it’s definitely a struggle to find these days.

A good point, but this kind of atrocious moderation has existed for many years. https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki/Reddit

The main thing that changed recently is that the admins are now as capricious as mods. The admins don’t live up to a higher standard, they do whatever they want.

I’ve had worse experiences on lemmy.world subs so far. I switched to using the lemmy.ml equivalent due to it.

EDIT: A good example is the reply I got here: https://lemmy.world/comment/10323234. This !reddit@lemmy.world is full of pro-reddit trolls & shills, and the mods don’t fight it. !reddit@lemmy.ml seems better so far.

The destination part is the issue. That github link works very poorly. The rareeddit example is much better.

I did that and made my comments available on github

How? I’ve been looking for a way to host my data elsewhere.

I found this website https://www.rareddit.com, but I’m not sure how to do that, and I contacted the author and didn’t get a response.

That’s not “some blog”, so what I can gather is that you’re either extremely unintelligent or you’re purposely trying to harm people.

Can you tell me why you are confidently spreading harmful disinformation? Do you enjoy people being harmed?

Fiber won’t re-add the microbes that antibiotics killed off. Neither will probiotic supplements, but some of them are proven to be beneficial. https://humanmicrobiome.info/probiotic-guide

I don’t really don’t understand the dislike of Reddit

Have you been living in a cave? https://github.com/MaximilianKohler/Archive/wiki/Reddit

Yeah, here’s a fantastic recent article about it:

Taking legal action stops the problem at the source

It’s not going to stop a bunch of anonymous people in other countries, it is likely not even viable (Eg, and it would cost me tens of thousands of dollars to attempt.

Interesting. As soon as you posted your dishonest comment and it got 100% upvoted, the other comments in this thread seemed to have been vote-brigaded by the same people.

Lawyers will not take on your case unless they think there is a solid chance of financial or reputational gain beyond the standard hourly fee. They are telling you in the most professional way possible that they see no merit in spending their time on your theory’s reputation

My suspicion is that they feel your… zeal and passion for your theory is bordering on fanatical. They don’t want to work with fanatics.

This is entirely false and dishonestly fabricated by you. A lawyer never said anything remotely like that, and in no way was such a thing insinuated in previous comments in this thread. No lawyer turned me down.

This is blatant pro-reddit astroturfing.

Without substantial and demonstrable effects on your finances, what you are left with is just some low level insults on the internet, and one or more relatively anonymous individuals who know that trolling you will get them the reaction they desire. If you continue to react like this, they will continue to try to get a reaction from you.

your reactions and inability to let minor insults

You have no clue what you’re talking about, and are just making things up. You’re the one trolling now.

These concepts have been explained to you previously.

Oh yeah? When was that?

I understand that you believe you have found answers that have previously been ignored by medicine. I know how that feels. But research is already being done in this area and will take time to bear fruit.

Another completely nonsensical troll comment.

I care because they’re harming my reputation, business, and more.

Not sure what you mean.

And can you prove the comments were false/lies/intending to mislead?

Yes, very easily.

A subpoena would do nothing if they were using a VPN, and if they were in another country I expect it would be just as difficult/impossible.

Taking legal action doesn’t stop a whack-a-mole.

But it is the (legal) solution to your problem.

Yes, I noted that in the OP.

That would be quite difficult due the nature of my project. But certainly I could calculate some; monetary and reputation.

I actually assumed that they’d give up once they were exposed, and move on to their next grift, but apparently they are very dedicated to this one. And blocking their accounts does nothing to stop them posting libel about me.

Well, it’s not that simple because when people search for my project they see a bunch of disinformation and libel that these people are spreading.
