As a mod, what are the rules in regards to leftist/socialist communities and posts?

Jump

  • Please link a source. I haven’t been able to find anything about this.

    • Chicago Rule

    Jump

  • I live in Chicago lmao. I take the red line regularly. I go allllllllllllllll around the city and have never once had a problem here. The only reason why you hear about crime or shootings as much as you do in the news is 1) because it's already been sensationalized, and that sets the pattern, and 2) the entire Chicagoland area (including the suburbs, which get news stories blown up too) has a population of about 11.5 million people. Statistically for even a murder rate as low as Chicago's is (and it's not even in the top 20 most violent cities in the country), shit's just going to happen.

    • I love Twitter rule

    Jump

  • Since she was being sarcastic it means that she is trying to say that Obama wasn't bad (because that's how sarcasm works).

    I mean… no? Sarcasm works in multiple ways lol. This is like a children’s picture book-level of understanding of sarcasm.

  • Yeah mine act like I get shot every time I walk out my front door

    • I love Twitter rule

    Jump

  • Obama’s biggest controversy was the mustard

    That's not what she said lol. Sorry as a neurodivergent person I get that this tweet might be hard to read possibly, but she's being sarcastic here. Maybe in poor taste, but it's a joke. She's well-aware of the shit Obama's done and isn't a fan of him.

    Jump

  • I didn’t post it because her joke was funny lol

    • The new system to replace Reddit coins and awards is here. You got out at the right time.

    Jump

  • In order to be truly independent from platforms like Reddit, communities need to be owned by their members in ways that platforms cannot take away.

    Is this a fucking joke

    • FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users

    Jump

  • Enterprise starts at 20k a year before traffic

    My Mastodon server has just under 1.5k MAUs and has raised $4k so far this year. We've only been open for six months. This is not hard money to raise.

    • Why do so many tech companies, like Reddit and Twitter are making their platforms worse for their users all of a sudden?

    Jump

  • To expand on this, it’s not just capitalism - it’s greed.

    No it's just capitalism lol. Every company has to continue reaping in profits for capitalists or else it dies. This is just Reddit's way of doing that.

    • Fediverse situation right now

    Jump

  • Idk, gonna be a very hot take, but I like my beliefs challenged and believe that everyone deserves a voice

    Nazis had a voice once, and folks listened to them. And we ended up with the Holocaust.

    Might be controversial but I don't believe that people who want to murder minorities deserve a voice. I feel like that's a pretty reasonable bar to set lol.
