  • I did, because communities I moderate were not being moderated after I left.

    I asked around for others to take over moderation, but nobody stepped forward.

    Unmoderated communities are at risk of being closed.

  • Someone reported your comment.

    that's glorification of violence and then there's nuclear options....

    You don't have a pocket nuke, do you?

  • We do not condone piracy or other illegal activity on this instance. It's in the instance-wide TOS.

    I'm done with everybody attacking one user for speaking up against piracy.

    Locking this post, and asking admins to review all threads here.

  • I mean, that's why we are against train. With train tracks, we can have 2x density, with bidirectional traffic.

    Unicycle or bust

  • down with trains!

    *This message was written by big unicycle

  • Yeah. I'd think so, but moderation is now going to be done by a different mod or admin, because I let myself get involved. I don't moderate threads/posts if I get involved.

  • Having other moderators moderate this, as I'm now a part of this.

  • It's not opinion. It's a fluff piece on how someone made money for their employer.

    It's advertising. For tick-tock or however your spell it, and for Staples, as well as for the content creator.

    Either you are willfully ignorant, or your directly tied to this piece.

    Calling what I'm saying an opinion is misinformation.

  • Oh god, this. DEI doesn't mean they can't advertise.

  • You're in the wrong. I figured I'd let the community show you. This won't happen again.

  • Yeah. It's gray. I agree, but they are a real user (read: not a spam account), plus I was tired of them DMing me constant insults, as I never block a user. Rather than keeping it removed, I figured the users would show them what the community felt.

  • Advertising:

    The activity of attracting public attention to a product or business, as by paid announcements in the print, broadcast, or electronic media.

    Oblivion "teaches/informs people about services at Staples", according to the article.

    Her engaging videos showcase little-known Staples services, boosting customer interest and store traffic.

    How wouldn't this be advertising?

    It's soft reporting on someone advertising for their company.

    Hell, directly in the article:

    Katie Omstead—the President at Lo & Sons, who also makes PR and marketing analysis content on TikTok under the handle @ktomstead—made a video on Feb. 12 that called Oblivion a “content and marketing genius,” and shared what Staples should do going forward.

    This is why it was reported so much.

    Before you go "it wasn't paid" I'm damn sure she didn't do the work or wear the outfit for free. Anything you do for a company on company time is paid.

  • They fought the removal.

    It's news, just not what the community says is news, according to the down votes and reports.

    Keeping it up, but feel free to vote it how you like

  • Your comment was reported for "threatening violence"

    I disagree. You're encouraging action in accordance with the Constitution

  • Wow, the comments went off the rails here.

    I don't usually do this, but I'm locking this post. Too much fighting.

  • This has been reported as AI.

    I'm not sure. What do y'all think?

  • I'll say this. I moderate large communities. Not because I want to, but because I can handle the mind fucks we see. Some things we have to see we can't unsee, but we have to review all reports, like yours. We seldom take action on posts or comments that weren't reported by the community, as there aren't enough hours in the day.

  • I'm a volunteer. I give the justification I have time for.

    Don't like it? Be the change you want to see. Create a community and moderate it, or help moderate communities you care about.
