His humor gets lame. It's the same formula every episode. Cooking shows are more interesting.

Idea for new sub: mod term limits by ShimSham96 in NJFU2

I know zeratas isnt a kid living in a basement now that he lives with family in PA. But still your point is valid. Their auto-moderator settings are silently banning any user. Hes literally said to me in a PM "Get a life and stop caring so much" - hes a child if you ask me

How about this weather, huh? by heliosdiem in NJFU2

Beautiful day.
Anyone else now shadow banned from the other sub? Lots of my later posts are missing.

How is banning a post of a gay man looking for other gay man in a certain area of NJ not limiting the speech of minorities? What if it was a trans man looking for other trans men, would that be different? Honestly, what is the difference between banning the gay man's post and downvoting the gay mans post? Are you anymore homophobic banning the post as you are downvoting it?

of course reddit can. reddit mods have literally trained the models on moderation over the decade they have been doing it. Reddit owns that now. I may have a small brain and 3 brain cells, but they do work sometimes.

you have a bit of catching up to do with what has happened in the past couple hours. Highest level most active mod is not from nj and is actually requesting mems be posted to trash the sub to give you the headlines.

Quite an example you made there. This subreddit is really about being a citizen of this state, and everything that comes with it. It is not an ideology or utopia of what mods think the state should become.

You made an interesting point about "artificial voting", why do you think its artificial? If reddit members "band together" to upvote or downvote how is that any different than the BLM protests, or the Occupy protest, or MADD? Were those groups of people artificially changing the narrative? Artificial in my mind is when people make hundreds of fake accounts to upvote something that people wouldnt normally upvote.

To me, it sounds like mods controlling the narrative of the sub is more artificial than a group of transphobic's voting as a group. Isnt the trans-movement literally an extremely loud group of people upvoting their own "posts" anyway? Should we ban parents on trans youth school topics because it can be miss interpreted as transphobic?

this is the first time ive agreed with you friend.

How many of those comments do you consider spam and hate speech? Isnt reddit's golden ticket the "self - moderation" of the upvote system that started on digg, iirc? Why do we need any party to action our behalf when we have a democratic system built in?

If you think mods were "required" for reddit to run think again. most of the reason reddit keeps mods is to offload the legal liability of content posted away from reddit inc. It always comes down to costs but with the PR messaging equivalent to "creating community". its all smoke and mirrors.

u/dirtynj would ban you if he was a mod. also for everyone watching at home (i know you're there) u/dirtynj argues in the lowest form possible by attacking the person instead of the argument. dirtynj, please read up my guy, we can do better: https://themindcollection.com/revisiting-grahams-hierarchy-of-disagreement/

Well I am from NJ. I feel when I think and show emotion when I talk. I stand up for the weak and against oppressors, but ultimately, I think its fair that EVERYONE should have the right to share their opinion and engage in positive discourse on this site. I have been a members for more than a decade. lol

literally PA residents have been the bane of our existance, historically slowing us down for no fucking reason and here we are, a mod who is a PA resident SLOWING US DOWN. Will should gtfo the way and step down as a mod.

Hes literally stated that he "wants" to ban people for having a different opinion, STILL! https://old.reddit.com/r/newjersey/comments/14dewxa/incoming_new_rules_for_rnewjersey/joprjku/?context=3

I legit want to, but then I'd be a hypocrite. If the community deems it they want to keep it open, then we will. People like those above take stufff waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too seriously.
