  • You da real MVP

  • As a mod, I've seen this too much.

    Not saying all, but many green party people advocating for Harris' defeat. As much as they may hope, Jill Stein was never a viable option, so who were they rallying for?

    Those are the same people I never heard advocate for green party at local, county, state, or other federal office positions.

    A few - like 3-5 people - were militant enough, I can believe it COULD be (not saying it was) a leftist.

  • "we need money to fund our special military operation kthxbye"

  • Hey, mod here. What they are saying is correct. Police intimidation/fear is justified for a large percent of the population, even those that are law-abiding. That's why the phrase "walking while black" exists.

    I urge you to not make these kind of comments, as they detract from the overall conversation. I also urge you to edit or remove this comment, as it violates rule 1.

  • This is why I said I DON'T WANT TO SILENCE PEOPLE.

    I try hard to work with people, if possible. We still have rules, so it's not "anything goes", nor will it ever be.

  • That works. As you know, it can be a touchy subject, and wording can make all the difference. I don't want to remove content, as that feels like picking sides, but I have to keep things civil.

  • Hey, mod here. I get your views, but the way you expressed them might break a rule (rule 1). The way you wrote it can easily be taken that you think all Muslims are terrorists.

    it’s crazy seeing so many who defend the Muslims right to be Islamist terrorists

    I'd rather not silence your voice, so could you modify that so it doesn't read that way. The rest is completely fine.

  • As a mod, what I can say is this:

    If something of yours is removed, or you receive a ban, send us a message. We can work through it. Also, if you see something, report it.

    We're volunteers, and don't police every comment or post, as we have full-time jobs. We tend to look at the reports, try to gather some context if time allows, then take action or not, based on the community rules.

    Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it!

  • Hey, mod here. Your comments can be taken as ignorant (not dumb/stupid), or trollish. If it's the former, let me educate you.

    Churches have been used as polling stations for MANY years, and is a completely common occurrence.

    If you knew this and were trolling, please stop.

  • Looking back, that was a bad day, with tons of reports coming in, and I believe the mod team was just working the reports as fast as they could.

  • It's not that simple though; Israel wants to eliminate Hamas (and they have plenty of reason for that -- if Mexico attacked the US like Hamas attacked Israel, there would simply put no longer be a Mexico). It would be tone deaf to Israel to say "leave Gaza" without that mission accomplished. They claim they don't even want the area, they just want Hamas gone. Furthermore, Hamas is fighting with guerilla tactics. They're intentionally trying to provoke war crimes. Israel doesn't have to be so dang willing to fall for the trap. However, Hamas is making it exceptionally hard to fight a clean war from what I've read. Citizens in the Gaza strip are not just being abused by the IDF but by Hamas. I wouldn't be surprised if Biden has his own Intel to back that all up. If it were as obvious as people want it to be, I'm pretty sure we would've stopped sending aid by now.

    This was the comment. Emphasis added.

    The reason a mod called it bad faith: Israelis were actively settling the land after the IDF cleared it out.

    1. It was 5 months ago
    2. when a user is actively commenting and violating the community rules, we may ban, then remove content.
    3. When it is an active thread, we may accidentally put the wrong reason - yours was actually "multiple rule violations", but it appears I mixed you and someone else up when putting in the reason.
    4. You were being an ass
    5. YESTERDAY you reached out to us for help. I explained I don't like perma banning, and I was willing to work with you. I linked to your mod log, and invited you to appeal the ban. You decided to not appeal it, and called my moderation team corrupt fascist .
  • I've not heard that. Source? Not doubting you, but I'm curious.

  • Do you know who uses the hell out of BLM land?

    Traveling folk aka "unhomed".

    Fuck these people for trying this stunt.

  • A single franchise owner "

    I hate McDonald's, but for many other reasons. They avoid politics, because that hurts the bottom line

  • Sadly, just time. Federation isn't always instant

  • I'm on Mobile right now. I restored the comment, as it broke no rules.

  • I locked the post due to a ton of reports on comments. That's not happened here.

  • Too many reports. Locking this down.
