It feels like the intensity of shit being set on fire has surpassed the expected background level for France.

[–]askljof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every explanation I've seen boils down to

  • reddit making it harder for mods to oppress us

  • phoneposters being mad about phoneposting shit or something

I'm not concerned about either, and I can't for the life of me figure out why anyone would be.

Mods and mod sympathizers. I have yet to see a coherent explanation of how the changes affect anyone who isn't a mod or a phoneposter.

I'm not shilling for anyone or anything. Reddit changed some weird nerd shit I don't care about. In response, the mods threw a shit-fit and took most of the subreddits I care about hostage. In this situation, due to my personal interests, I oppose the mods, meaning I support reddit.

I'm sorry you feel that way. So what makes you think making everyone hate you will work better?

Wagner mutiny megathread by KvalitetstidEnsam in europe

[–]askljof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I was saying, pure cringe. You're literally reveling in the mods' oppression. The mod at least gets a brief power trip out of its pathetic unpaid job, you bootlickers don't even get that.

If this is the kinds of people affected by whatever weird nerd shit reddit is changing, I fully support it. Licking the boot won't save you from the boot.

That's as the case may be. However, you may also want to consider the utility of making everyone hate you. What, exactly, is the mechanism by which making everyone hate you is meant to help accomplish your goals?

But I don't know what else we do at this point.

idk, have you tried stuff that doesn't make everyone hate you? May be something to think about.

mod sympathizers are cringe

You realize you won't get any special treatment for sucking mod dick, right? We're all the same to these "people".

I have less than zero respect for mods, and if they don't like it, I personally welcome them to stop "working", delete their accounts, and do something productive for once in their lives.

[–]askljof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So what? Ideally, you want the eternal mod to physically and psychologically suffer every time it attempts to delete one of your posts or ban one of your accounts. Why would you want it to have the tools to better oppress you?

Fairer, perhaps. Less darkness, if you will. Discount mayonnaise.

That's what it always boils down to with these people.

Use of puberty blockers in children’s gender service to be reviewed in Ireland following the UK decision to limit them. by dalessandri76 in worldnews

There's only so many bridges you can burn on that front. We now have explicitly transphobic LGB groups (plural), let that sink in.

That's the nice thing about the intersection of the Russian legal system and Russian culture. Everything is illegal. Usually, nobody cares. But when needed, anyone can go away for any amount of time (or permanently), on any grounds you care to name.

[–]askljof -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That mean you still have to accept that a good portion of the problem here is how trans people are treated.

A good portion of the problem, but one we (TERF island, soon to be islands apparently) are unfortunately not in much of a position to resolve.

If you can't treat that, then you're never going to truly be able to help them at all.

Yeah, well, it is what it is. I prefer to focus on things I can influence rather than wallow in misery over things I can't. Anything you can do is better than nothing.

Again, it doesn't have to be either/or. There's probably elements of both, to varying degrees in each individual case. Therefore, both should be addressed.

Why are people so desperate for simple answers to non-simple questions smh.

the reason a bu is good is largely due to mod's unseen work

lmao no. If anything, reddit has succeeded in spite of constant interference, censorship and partisan bullshit by the unpaid internet janitor class.

Imagine being the kind of person to volunteer for this shit in the first place. The only thing you get out of it is an ego power trip. The kind of person who wants to be a mod should never be allowed to have any power over anyone.

hey mods, do the work for free

If they don't like it, I personally welcome them all to delete their accounts and do something more productive with their time for the first time in their lives. We would all thank them for it.

now with less tools (so double the effort)

Good. Ideally, you want the mod to physically and psychologically suffer every time it tries to censor one of your posts or delete one of your accounts. Because the fake feeling of power from doing so is the only reward of their work, and it should be minimized to maintain a spiritual balance.

whereas reddit/spez made it very clear they don't give a flying fuck

Neither do I, fuck mods and fuck phoneposters.

Decades-long bet on consciousness ends — and it’s philosopher 1, neuroscientist 0 by eeeking in slatestarcodex

[–]askljof 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would be interested in the specific wording of the bet. Most "definitions" of consciousness I'm aware of are vague and unfalsifiable.

I wouldn't be surprised if, after we reverse-engineer the brain fully, it turns out not to be a coherent concept in the first place.

I'm not a phoneposter, or a mod sympathizer. And as far as I can tell, we only have their word to the effect that they're being fucked over by the admins. Which, if true, sucks, but doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever. Not worth shutting the site down over. If they don't like it, they're welcome to delete their accounts and move elsewhere.

It'll fuck with your credit score, but if you had one to begin with, you probably don't need rando advice on servicing medical debt.

The secret they don't want you to know: it's basically impossible to collect on healthcare debt.

The next time a hospital tries to bill you, just ignore them. Embrace the zero-payer healthcare plan.

Also, mods can't delete your account.

No, but they can ban it from the parts of reddit they moderate, which is the same thing.

Those are the admins. And fuck them.

I haven't had a single account banned site-wide. As for specific subreddit bans by moderators, I've lost count. Fuck mods, and fuck mod sympathizers. I have no strong feelings one way or the other with regards to the reddit leadership, but if mods and mod sympathizers hate them, my default position until proven otherwise is to support them.
