I'm going to need the precise definition of 'No-Nonsense', as it is being used in this context.

So another idiot then.

Pol Pot managed to killed maybe a maximum of three million people. This is nowhere near as prolific as the death toll that Joseph Stalin had.

As it turns out, blind loyalty can be fatal.

The quickest way to fix it is to either roll exclusively with the pre-teen class, or as though you are. Lose the option to go HAM.

Most white belts (and far too many upper belts, tbh) can give zero, seven, or ten easily, and will struggle to find the useful learning gears (one through five). It is a work in progress, but we'll worth the effort.

There's nothing better for your Jiu-Jitsu than having a wide variety of training partners of all sizes, who know that they'll get a quality roll out of you every time.

I'd get external opinions on your rolling intensity, just to make sure that you're self assessment is within reasonable range. That goes for your intensity level, your breathing patterns, etc.

Based on your description of what is going on, you need to rethink your entire approach to training. If you want to learn quickly, minimize your injuries, and never run out of training partners who are happy to train with you, you'll need to learn to love Jiu-jitsu more than you love winning.

You are not being evaluated or trained to go HAM. You winning (or trying to) through intensity and brute force will not be rewarded by your coach, and will not be appreciated by your shrinking pool of willing training partners.

Even if you happen to be significantly stronger than your training partner, you should be looking to find maximal results with minimal effort.

I'm an atheist, and I agree with the Imam. Eight years is not enough.

It won't work, Milhouse.

I was leaning towards letting the individual user decide, but now vote to either defederate, or ban the bot.

I'm of the mind that this is where I go insteadof reddit. If there's going to be overlap between what gets posted over there, and on lemmy, I'd rather it gets posted by a person who wants to engage, and is invested in the post.

Additionally, I am not in favor of any bot that can potentially make me engage with reddit in any way.

But wouldn't a meaningful response require empathy and situational awareness?

Reddit, like Digg before it, was a gathering place, where people could post or consume content, and interact with other users. It was much like a town square, where people can set up their soapbox and bark, or where a person could go and listen, interact, and enjoy.

Reddit is now like the Home Owners Association for that particular town square, and are actively trying to control the entire experience, by acting like they own the soapboxes, and as though the barkers are now obligated to ensure that content is HOA approved.

That kind of neighborhood holds no appeal for me.
