Half the time those people didn't even create the subreddits they're moderating, and even if they did, they're still modding them in a way that reveals their severe hunger for power.

Like when street-level Reddit mods got a little too arrogant and attempted that absolutely hilarious blackout a while back, where all the wannabe-revolutionary Reddit mods thought they could shut down the whole site with their mod power. They probably forgot that the 'power' they have is just borrowed from the actual site owners and can be taken away at any time. Most of them fell in line after that. The ones who didn't lost all their power.

But yes, when Reddit makes the decision to ban people for glorifying actual violent threats and destruction of property...I agree with that decision. So, in this case, I agree with the site admins over the tantrum-throwing Reddit mods.

Weren't you a community moderator of a user created space?

i've been off the internet for a good 5 years, and I came back to gamefaqs actually to find that messaeboard experience of the old days but to my surprise i showed up and see they closed CE and nowhere else really had that kind of energy. I loved it. I miss it so much.

Complicated. Sometimes they're too sensitive, but those are usually the subreddit-level mods who ban people permanently for small political disagreements.

The site-wide rules tend to be more reasonable.

Why are you always being so snarky?

Because people have been upvoting too many violent threats and doxxing efforts.

Most people make such posts using throw-away accounts, meant to either be banned or deleted after a couple of days. Those posts still get tons of upvotes, pushing them to the front page. The person who made the post might get banned on one account, but that's not much of a downside on a site with free accounts.

So, instead of punishing the person who made the throwaway account, they will punish the people who allowed the rule-violating post to reach the front page in the first place. That's how you stop things like this.

Not like anybody posts on those anymore lol

For the most part I use my "Home" page, which is nothing but One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Bleach, Star Wars, and World of Warcraft memes.

lmao may as well be posting on myspace

That's a very hostile comment, admittedly you are a felon though

but I like Jeff Dunham

against what?

I got banned from r/comics for saying that Republicans aren't all monsters; most of them are ordinary people with their own lives and thought processes.

i just downloaded a different ublock

San Francisco does not border anything in Canada.

Paying more for eggs is now patriotic.

I thought you lived in Canada.

Bluesky is still composed of some of the worst people humanity has to offer. If it were possible to anti-sign I would.

I'm of the opinion they make a lot of this stuff too difficult for drug lords ect.

I get it, they make the government and law mad. And what they do is "illegal". But they also have to deal with a LOT of crap in thier jobs up to and including rival gangs actually trying to kill them.

The fact that the government puts crazy restrictions on them trying to prevent them from earning any stable income is just overkill.

I don't get it.

I thought you were doing a Simpsons reference.

Elon Musk would love me if we met.

I'm not sure why you'd want to put your money in the laundry, but it's pretty easy to do. It can damage paper money, though, so be careful.

While also carrying more debt. And basically inescapable debt, unlike other forms that can be discharged via bankruptcy.

When you look at the average graduate, it probably is a waste of time. It certainly feels like most kids who don't go for an advanced degree (and advanced debt) don't even wind up working in a field relevant to their degree much of the time. On top of having debt over their head.

Everybody tends to look at the more exceptional cases for college's successes rather than the averages, though. There are a handful of degrees that can lead to better incomes (although, again, debt can be an issue), but most don't really have that performance and even the things that are supposed to lead to a better life are a crapshoot based on either cycles or the market's whims.

Well, it's definitely a significant investment of time and money. On top of the actual time spent, going to college probably shaved years off my life since I'd go one day a week without sleeping and a lot of my sleep habits date back to having to juggle college and working full-time to pay for that college, etc, to ensure I graduated debt-free.

Yeah, I can see that one being a poor investment.

Honestly, if colleges were run for the benefit of students and society rather than to make money for administrators and professors, a lot of programs would be cut.

phd + postdoc

I found one in my trash can once. The pet snake we had at the time ate it.

Kinda weird how the IRS can track the petty incomes of 300 million people, but not a handful of billionaires.

Sounds funny to me.
