What's Sealioning?

ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca · 42 pts · 1y (1 reply)

It describes people who act like the sealion in this webcomic. Essentially, harassing someone online by bombarding them with requests to have a discussion about a topic. The person doesn't actually want to have a genuine discussion, they just want to argue.

Oh shit, Wondermark is great - I used to read this all the time, but David Malki! took a break and I hadn't realized he had started up again.

I think you actually know what sealioning is and you are asking this question in bad faith. Please show some simple evidence that you were not trying to start a flame war.

Please be understanding, you're taking to a communist, of course they don't know what seasoning is.

Same, I am truly speechless !

"I've tried editing Wikipedia, and found it and the biased editors who dominate it censor or change facts to suit their views. In one case my factual edits were removed within 60 seconds—so editing Wikipedia is no longer a viable approach."

they edit it according their point of view without giving credit to mine even if mine is the only correct one

That's what a sealion would say

This is all I need to comfort me that Lemmy isn't as big as Reddit.
