visor? i hardly know her.

i don’t think that’s a pilgrim hat. her pope mitre is, however, not correctly made.

gotcha. thanks!

same and same! it’s all good! 🫡

i had content recently removed for “advocating violence” (iirc it was when i suggested criminal charges for all shareholders of corps who do violent things like allow death when choosing profit over people, yadda yadda.) No example of what the offending remark was and I could not find the old comment to manually review or correct or apologize. in this case I messaged a mod. no reply yet. was it a legit removal? probably certainly! was it poor “customer service” to not follow up with me? probably. does it make me confused as to what the line is there and therefore distrust that community? certainly.

anyway yeah. so the feedback loop could be improved. mods could be more human. and commenters could be less dicks all around! :)

I think the case of of legit vs not is a case by case thing and that’s why there are mod teams. Sidenote: is it possible to message an entire mod team vs trying to find one who is online when there are questions?

re point a: if the rules of the instance are not followed, of course mod action is legit. that guy was a douche it seems.

i think mods of nsfw instances also deserve certain praise; modding that stuff must be … ugh. especially since the instance could be on a 486 in someone’s bedroom. having ran newsgroup servers back in “the day” - turning on anything “alt.bin” was .. not advised.

if a community cannot take legitimate criticism then its volunteers need themselves to move over too. Having volunteered places for literal decades, it’s important to not take any of shit horseshit to heart.

hint: my modlog has shown that in some communities there are VERY thin lines. so no, I am not “part” of the problem, I am saying finding the line is sometimes … undocumented at best.

yes but - when mods do act like inconsistent children with power trips it’s as crucial to remind them we can go elsewhere to another instance.

protest and running for office?

ok. works for me. i just think that if soup-to-nuts people “felt” the choices the corporations made in ways they actually felt - wallet or free time - things will change. corps will be dissolved. c suites jailed. yadda yadda.

“what are you in for?”

“i was majority shareholder in a corp that chose profit over people.”

anyway back-forth aside thanks for the replies and also fuck the criminal corporations. 💚

ok so - yeah I tried to edit the comment thinking the “edit” would show me the og comment - I wanted to know what was “too far” for this thread. sigh. i was probably indeed too hyperbolic. though I know I didn’t mention “the wall” lol.

still getting used to how comments and edits work on lemmy. so you can’t see the original one either? thanks for looking though.

where did I advocate violence? the violence here is the corporations. also, I am US .. maybe a diff generation? I’m over 40. /shrug.

of course I understand the difference - you don’t seem to understand how proportional response would work when grandma is told her 401k is fined because she funded a murderous corporation. her fund manager gets a few days time. the corporation c suite gets months and the board gets decades.

haha i am of course not sending money to hamas lol. it’s just to prove a point in the thread.

right. no one picks but they FUND. so when they are punished for funding - the SYSTEM will change. stop being thick.

i’m saying proportional response is the key - the ppl picking the stocks and the people owning them. i 100% included your cohort in my response. they ALL need to be given credit for these corporate crimes.

haha true. but when I send money to hamas, I’m “supporting terrorists.”

but grandma allows her money to be sent to a corp that chooses to kill people and … she’s just little ole grandma?

pfft. :p
