What’s weird is it’s always the accounts with no activity making these complaints…
Including this thread, OP has made 4 posts and 20 some comments over the last year.

They also warn that the groups appear to be laying the groundwork for a concerted challenge to the result of November’s presidential election if Trump is defeated by Kamala Harris.
In other breaking news, the sun is expected to set tonight bring about a phenomenon called “night time”…
Obviously they’re going to pull bullshit like last election, that’s what happens when you only punish a few grunts and just let the people who planned it walk free.
Just like in American History X, the people who do the planning see the grunts as disposable, there’s always more.
It’s only going to get worse because Bidens DOJ is almost completely ineffectual. But Biden won’t replace Garland because he’s either too scared, or really doesn’t have a problem with his refusal to do the job Biden gave him.
She asked me twice whether I thought her stories sounded crazy, so she was clearly somewhat aware of her condition.
Not necessarily.
It’s very likely everyone in her life were telling her it’s all in her head, she gets mad and says she’s not crazy…
Then calls random repair people, tells them the story. And asks “am I crazy” because most businesses would never say that to a client. She was looking for validation, the same way people go fishing for compliments saying stuff like “I’m so bad at my job, I don’t know how you all put up with me”. Even if it’s true and they’re dead weight, most people will be polite and reassure them.
I just didn’t know how to deal with someone like that
Tell them that they should relay their concerns to a medical professional if they’re concerned.
If they’re seriously doubting their delusions, they’ll go get help and thank you for the advice.
More likely they’ll realize you’re not giving them what they want, get mad, and often blame you for being involved in the conspiracy.
But there’s a chance they actually get help.
Any kind of acceptance of their beliefs, no matter how tentative, reinforces it and drives them further into the delusion. Depending on how involved her family is, she might have called them immediately, and after cussing them out said even the plumber agrees she’s not crazy.
They probably thought you meant something different than what you actually meant.
…
You think they do an annual review of threads?
It was over a year ago I made the comment, they banned me for it five days ago.
I don’t know man, it’s weird you’re not getting that, but it doesn’t really matter.
I’m sorry if I’m explaining it poorly.
I did remember it wasn’t I blocked a mod, I explained why I might not respond. And apparently they didn’t like that I had blocked their instance
Weird, maybe because I looked at world’s modlog and not theirs like you seem to have done.
I clicked on the link, it was a comment from literally a year ago lol.
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844
I blocked the mod of that sub about a week ago, so they likely went and saw my last comment there and banned me for it.
Like I said tho, I’m perfectly fine with it. I blocked their whole instance a long time ago, I think it might have actually been that thread that clued me in it wasn’t worth ever going there again.
Thanks for finding that tho! I’ll remember to check an instance’s own modlog in the future for more details.
Quick edit:
(which your agreement to could be seen as agreement with trans-segrigation in sports).
Nah, I was explaining how the only way to get better at chess is to play better people, and there’s no reason for any classes based around gender. And the explanation for difference in skill, is simply that the best men refused to play women, so they never improved. The first female grand master was only that good because her dad was crazy good and made her and her sister play him constantly.
You need the experience of high level play to be able to play at a high level, and any gender divide in division just prolongs that. So I was arguing against any segregation at all.
That’s why they let it stay up a year until I blocked the mod of that community.
And suddenly it was transphobic.
A “tankie” isn’t the same as a communist.
A “tankie” is someone that takes China’s side (the tanks) in that famous picture of Tiananmen square.
Being a “tankie” is using communism as a facade for authoritarian governments where a small group of “upper party members” are essentially oligarchs.
Mate, let me save you some trouble:
When the vast majority talk of a generation or any type of group, they’re talking about the majority and not every single one of them.
Nah, I replied to OP and they deleted the comment.
Maybe that looks weird on some federated instances or apps tho.
If it looks like I’m replying to someone else, that would explain the down votes.
OPs post gets reposted pretty frequently, always by new accounts which tend to disappear a day or two later after some lazy posts.
I really do think it’s the same person who’s bans are in the screenshots.
It’s too random that a bunch of brand new accounts all find the post and quote it with perfectly formatting including all the pictures just to repost it the same place they found it.
Especially since the new account always claims they’re “helping new users” like they’ve been here forever.
But sometimes I do need face to face communication with team members I’m concerned about, or with customers.
Yes…
You need that, because that’s what you grew up with.
I’m sure you don’t know how to send a carrier pigeon, but at one point that was very important in business and government.
It’s not Gen Z’s fault that a lot of boomers are unable to retire due to the policies their generation voted for or their own personal irresponsible savings and retirement planning.
The youngest boomers are 60, so any “older boomer” is going to be well past retirement age.
Stop trying to insist every future generation has to compromise with your archaic needs.
You are the one out of place, they are the ones that are literally the future.
#2 in the article
This part?
A 2022 article from Harvard Law School explains that Gen Z workers entered the workforce during the pandemic. This generation began their careers when it was acceptable to send a quick text — something they are very comfortable with — instead of having a team meeting. They missed office facetime at a crucial point in their career development. This potentially created a gap in their learning and left them unprepared for industries where meetings, presentations and in-depth collaboration are the norm.
The problem arises when workplaces expect Gen Z to conform without offering any middle ground. This communication gap can easily lead to misunderstandings, mistakes or even the appearance that these workers are not engaged — when in reality, they are just using different methods to communicate.
That explicitly states over and over the issue is “face to face” and not phone calls?
If you’re still confused you might want to ask someone else, maybe I’m not explaining this well but I have zero idea how to make it any simpler.
Not only can you speak quicker than you can type,
I’m not exactly “young” anymore but I can type on a keyboard waaaaay quicker than I can speak.
But the article is specifically talking about “face to face”. Getting a couple people to jump on a Teams call to sort something out isn’t something impossible for Gen Z.
They just don’t like the “face to face” bullshit that comes with working in an office.
I’ll take a team meeting online on a call over having to do it in person, everyone show up early, and all the distractions that come with an in person meeting. It just wasted time for “socializing” with people you don’t want to socialize with. Co-workers don’t need to be friends, and definitely aren’t family.
Gen X and Y are the same, it’s just Gen Z is the first to be overwhelming raised by those two generations.
X/Y can put up with it because we grew up with people like that.
For Gen Z it’s literally like having to put up with their grandparents bullshit, something they only had to tolerate infrequently, and recent graduates just went thru years of distant learning.
So they know all the “face to face” shit is extreneous
some issues can’t wait days or weeks of back and forth. A phone call with that older generation is fast acting.
Again, the issue that they take “days or weeks” for email exchanges…
Modern workers are stuck to laptops, they see an email notification when it comes in.
But phone calls aren’t what the article says GenZ isn’t good at or even don’t like
Comments make more sense if you read the article first mate
Yeah, expected bullshit cuz Forbes, but the psychologist actually knows what they’re talking about about.
Doesn’t outright say it, but the “problems” are all outdated shit boomers insist on keeping around because it’s what they’re used to.
Like, “face to face communication” not only isn’t important now, it hasn’t been for a long fucking time.
Even when you need to talk to someone one on one to figure something out. IM gives you a record of what was discussed to refer to
If I’ve got 20 things going on and someone wants a face to face or even a call, I’m very unlikely to remember the details a day later. IMs or emails, I can go back and get all the discussed info in like 2 minutes.
We’re asking these kids to do shit that was outdated before they were born because the people in charge are at best in their late 60s and still are scared of computers.
They’re just pissed life passed them by and the skills they have are outdated.
They seem more like nationalists who coopted socialism/communism to white wash what they actually support and overlooking the elite ruling class that they are not a part of.
…
Yes…
They’re defenders of USSR and China…
So obviously they’re not going to actually be socialis/communist.
The problem is when capitalists lump actuall socialists/communists with the fake ones.
On the other hand, I’ve blocked both those instances months ago and it’s been great.
Strangely I did notice I got banned from a blahaj community like a week ago despite not commenting there for at least 6 months, maybe ever?
Which is kind of the whole point of me blocking them
Both have mods/admins that are very very opinionated about things. And they tend to refuse to let things go (much like OP or you making that sub)
So if they see something they dont agree with, they’ll pre-emptively ban an account, because, and this is doubly important right here:
It’s trolls feeding trolls drama in a big loop
You making that sub, OP making this post…
All you’re doing is encouraging them
Can you really not understand?
I’ll try and remember to come back and check if you respond, but I don’t get notifications from instances I’ve blocked.
Edit:
I was banned five days ago apparently for this comment from a year ago:
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844
Definitely not because I blocked that mod five days ago and they desperately found a way to “get back”.
Great example of my point tho, silly instances like that there’s no point in fighting them, just block their instance and go about your life.
but that doesn’t block those users on them to be fair. That has to be done individually.
It blocks notifications of replies.
Sometimes I’ll notice a .ml responded to me, and if they seem decent I’ll reply back. But I’ll never get a notification and that’s almost always as far as it goes.
Which is fine. Lots of people can make one civil comment to rope someone in a conversation.
just advising new users to watch where they are active; I
Your profile has 10 posts/comments and has been around for a week…
Are you the original OP who just keeps making new accounts to spam this?
Or do you think 10 posts/comments over a week means you understand Lemmy and should reach out to teach “new users”?
World is kind of the vanilla instance.
Just.works is a “free speech” instance, I never see many communities hosted there, but a large amount of trolls make accounts there because just.works is unlikely to nuke an account.
Yeah, a little suspect OP’s account is a week old with barely double digit posts/comments if you combine them and most are from this post…
I’m guessing their favorite (of many) accounts got blocked by .ml, so now they don’t want anyone going there.
I don’t get the .ml drama tho, never have. I realized it was a silly place long ago, so I blocked the whole instance.
I did the same for a couple others. It takes like two seconds.
Who cares if it has bigger communities than others? If that’s all I cared about I’d still be on Reddit
I think a lot or people (like OP) can’t drop this mindset because they’re not on the fediverse willinging. It’s probably the only social media site where IP bans aren’t a thing. So people IP banned from the big ones, are gonna trickle down here and do dumb drama hunting shit like OP.
