Sanction me?!? No. Sanction yourself.

You think TikTok is better than mainstream media for news?

Is a car required to live in NYC?

if he's heavier, it's grosser

Good point.

For instance, a community made to harass one specific mod.

This was yesterday afternoon.

Same. Just without talking, people always think the worst. The admins for Lemmy.World are a non-profit in the Netherlands.

They're a bit more professional than Midwest.social, who I absolutely respect. But there's a different level of professionalism here than the guy hosting a server out of his Ohio basement.

On the other hand, they don't have the big corporate backing and structure of something like Reddit. LW doesn't have a team of lawyers if they get into trouble. Do they even have one lawyer? How involved is that lawyer if they do exist? I can't say.

That can lead to harassment, which we're already having some issues with. But it's reasonable.

Why bother removing it at all?

And this is where it belongs. There's accountability for the mods in one place, and the garbage is actually removed from the main area.

The point of removing the garage isn't to just put a spoiler tag over it.

It's largely because of new tiered pricing. They want to extract the maximum price while not losing any customers.

To do this, they first double or triple all their prices. Then, for those who are willing to stand on one leg, pat their head, and rub their stomach* while ordering the right things, they'll charge you half price.

(*By this I mean use their app. The main purpose of the app and the deals are to charge everyone what they're willing to pay.)

I can blame McDonald's for a lot of things, but not this. They didn't really get a choice.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Shoplifting with your kid is a different level.

That's a real thing.

I suspect the Hallmark card is the story you were told.

When your kid goes to first grade, take it in, donate it, and tell the story.

It's interesting seeing it from the admin side. Here, at least, they're largely just trying to stay out of trouble. When lawyers or police come knocking at the door, it's already too late, and we're not always sure where that line is.

A couple things we absolutely know will cause trouble. I don't know if/where that line would be with shoplifting.

And of course the mods have their own opinions.

I don't think they realize how easy (and low risk) it can be to set up a Mastodon server. Particularly when you don't have to allow the public to create accounts.

I just think you're being a little overly critical of someone who criticized Bezos and quit her job over her principles.

If she was really as spineless as you make her out to be, she could have never drawn this in the first place OR she could have just STFU when they silenced her over it.

Instead she stood up for herself and what's right. And for some reason you think that's not enough.

Oh no, she waited until she had direct experience while doing the right thing before she quit her job over it.

If she was the drone you make her out to be, she never would have penned this piece.

I've already cancelled my subscription, but that's not until August or something.
