• Fidonet is EVIL

    From Alex Galiyev@1:129/14.1 to All on Thu Mar 12 04:23:50 2026
    Hello All!

    FidoNet has become ROTTEN. Decent people left long ago, - especially after Ward aligned himself with Barinov.

    What remains is an ugly, broken culture that tolerates harm and treats people as shit (ask for proof).

    Chistian Community turned into PURE EVIL (Espesically Michael Luko, the EVIL himself (ask for proof)).

    WARD = TRUMP = BARINOV = PUTIN <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    I wish this community will be extorted ASAP. You're the ones who are destroying our planet.

    Most of the Fidonet leftists, like Poindexter & Mike Miller, and decent when they talk to people. They don't say stuff like "Fuck you, Nazi!"

    Only people with behavioral health disorders talk like that.

    No.

    From your statement I can tell that you are
    1. A Leftoid - who can't understand human nature.
    2. A newbie.

    If you had been around Fido Net since the 1980's, you'd know that it's never worked. The best that can be done is a "gentleman's agreement" to take things to private messages or other groups, and to kick off the more egregious ones.

    Is possible to build a better behaviour as a network culture?


    I've been wondering the same thing...

    The only thing I can come up with is to lead by example.

    Stay positive in the negativity. Don't succumb or respond to the passive-aggressiveness. (ie don't feed the trolls)

    Don't assume people are idiots just because they don't know as much as you know or don't catch on to something as quick as YOU
    think they should. Be patient. Remember that the knowledge we have regarding BBS software and Echomail is 95% USELESS anywhere else, so you might as well share it with others here in abundance. Otherwise, what's the point?

    Try making a light-hearted joke when you see a thread that you're following start to go down a dark road. Maybe people will lighten up.

    I don't know. I've only recently returned, so I'm still just observing for the most part and getting to know the personalities in
    the meantime. I don't know the history between a lot of the members, so I tend to stay out of things.

    Or what the heck do I know? Maybe that's the point of Fido and the culture people want? Maybe people want a place to slam the sh*t out of others and vice versa? Who am I to judge?

    Oh well... Just some thoughts as I'm drinking my coffee and waking up. o/

    It doesn't take far to look to see much better interactions in othernets.
    You can't change human behavior, but you can change how it's reflected
    online.

    One network doesn't want political arguments, and people respect that.
    The respect for the person who created the network shows.

    I once knew a guy who defused an argument about racism that had lowered
    itself to angry namecalling by responding with a 3 word reply.

    "I like ham"

    Just absurd enough to make people laugh.

    What I miss about the '90s is people could lash out online, then meet
    face-to-face at a gettogether and realize we're all people. The two
    people at the heart of that argument met at one of our gettogethers. We
    expected some friction, but one poster held out his hand, they
    grudginly shook hands, and continued their argument, albeit more
    boisterous, alcohol-fueled, and much more light-hearted. Right up until
    closing time. We got kicked out and disinvited from future events
    there.

    That face-to-face contact is something missing these days.

    This should be part of your treatment plan; who cares how much money you or I make?

    Is that Russian culture? Do the wealthy think they're better than the poor? I've heard about that on TV but this is the first time I've seen it in real life.

    I don't care about money either way. Got more money than me? Shove it up your ass then. Got less money than me? Get a job.

    I take it back. You are actually dumber
    than them. I suppose you might could be
    the rule in action. There is ample
    evidence of complete morons at the top
    of companies and governments sitting
    atop massive stashes of hoarded gold,
    making decisions that destroy nations
    and societies. Access, determination
    and success do not inherently confer
    intelligence or wisdom. But, someone
    who can unironically say that it does,
    well, I think we can just let your
    words stand on their own and better
    minds can laugh at the historical
    inaccuracy of that statement. I bet you
    yourself could compile quite the list
    of notable retards of means.

    I didn't notice that pattern until now, but it seems like it's their sense of elitism and coming to the USA goes straight to their heads. They're "better" than the people back in their home country because they made it to the USA, and they're "better" than the American people because they get tons of overtime as a Home Depot contract worker.

    It's actually true to some extent; permanent residents (people not born here, but are here legally and permanently) are subject to more scrutiny than American-born citizens. The can be deported for taking welfare, or for conviction of a crime. They don't have the same rights as people who were born here, unless they become citizens (naturalization) but of course even then, they're still eligible for "denaturalization" and deportation under certain circumstances.

    Watch your language. I can also come and denaturalize your whole family. Don't speak this way. I know where you are located.

    Wow. DHS really needs to find out about the stuff you say online.

    It's actually true to some extent;

    I know it's true. I just mean that if
    we believe in free speech, we
    shouldn't allow it. I think it's
    a double standard that no one should
    be held to, and it gives too much
    power to the state, and specifically
    the executive, to silence people.

    Which, we've seen this admin do
    explicitly several times.

    It's probably not a good policy to deport people for things that they say, but I doubt that it actually happens. I don't know anyone who has ever been in the USA legally who was then deported.

    Trump tried to and is still trying to
    do it to several people who wrote
    anti-israel/pro-palestine articles, if
    you will recall. It's one of the first
    things his admin did. Not unique to
    him, just to iterate, but his admin
    made a show of it and was bragging
    about it. Dems also suppressed that
    speech because it threatens their
    Israeli ties, but this admin said
    "nah, we're gonna threaten your path
    to citizenship because you wrote
    articles I don't like"

    You have to do a pretty serious crime to get deported if you are here legally.

    And most of us don't hang out with those kinds of people.

    No, I don't recall and I don't know anyone fitting that description. I have yet to meet anyone who has been deported. Have you spoken with them after they were deported?

    And even if it really does happen, I haven't met anyone who's been deported, but I've been informed by legal immigrants that they face deportation if they f around.

    I got to look up the two specific names
    tht got national attention, but they
    specifically were kept from being
    deported by a federal court. Rubio
    had the one guy arrested and brought
    from his home to a detention facility
    in Louisiana, iirc, and is still
    trying to do it.

    Let's see... Mahmoud Khalil was the big
    one, the other was some college
    student. If there are others, they are
    small cats and aren't in the media.

    Whether you like their speech or not,
    Rubio used those aforementioned rules
    to try and cast them out based on
    their speech alone. He has the
    right to try, according to our laws.
    I just think the law is fucked and
    anti-American, and I'll stand on that.

    apologies for typos and formatting
    errors, btw. I'm on a commodore and
    contrary to the one ad, the
    Commodore is not keeping up with me.

    I sense that you're the kind of person who cares a lot about others, even when it's people you've never met, and that's a good characteristic.

    I'm an American and a former soldier,
