Clearly I’m a bastard.

All cool on many things, except one:

they seem to love to hate on Apple there

That's the only thing they're right about, though. They shouldn't have banned you for your comment, especially not if it's true, but Apple DOES suck in nearly every way possible 🤷

To which, all I can say is:

First off, …HEY! 🧐

Secondly, this isn’t “Goldmember”. Should I arbitrarily hate other countries for shits and giggles? …And who says I’m even Dutch? Maybe I’m like Kirk and I only work in The Netherlands.

Thirdly, they seem to love to hate on Apple there. I had the comeuppance to suggest Jen Simmons and the Safari team actually read the bug submissions (and she’s recently been on numerous videos, podcasts, and in posts on Mastadon saying so) and pushed back on their emoji-malarky.

On some instances, opinions other than the admins need not apply. Hopefully you’re not suggesting as much, even with the digs at the Dutch (who aren’t that bad, but like many, many other countries, aren’t all good either).

Oh, I got banished from a whole instance on Mastadon for saying that the Apple Safari team looks at every bug request (and they do):

First, you have to catch them. Without plates on the bike, they become anonymous asap.

Secondly, you need to understand us Dutch. Rules are for the Germans, as it’s always smart to ask forgiveness than permission (read: catch us if you can)

Now you’re getting it.

Actually, I’m on vacation and I don’t need this shit.

If you don’t see the similarities, then it’s not worth anyones time explaining. Enjoy your circlejerk.

So, the SovCit playbook.

Yeah, no kidding. You don’t get to act like a red hatter, acting like your decisions about what constitutes “freedom” disqualifies all others, without being called out for it.

I’m getting so sick of Lemmy… It’s just like the worst parts of Reddit now. No opinion, other than the hive mind. No discussion, besides name-calling and finger pointing, and yeah, they did it first. This place is for children.

So it just shows you to be petty. Was that what you hoped to achieve?

And yet, here we are. Get it yet?

I read that linguistically, Australian English is closer to American than British versions. Having never yet been there but occasionally having a Violet Crumble when available, I can believe it.
