ck isn't so much grand strategy to me as it is a game of thrones simulator. The game is WAY less fun if you try to play it optimally. Trying to generate a mad syphilitic king who married his horse and is trying to become the leader of a black magic cult is WAY more interesting.

Downfall to the fediverse: You know what your friends see when they look into this stuff? Oh, wow, they use that site that has the pedos on it.
It's a serious issue. Most people don't and won't understand the decentralized thing. When these come to light in the media, and stuff like this ALWAYS comes to light in the media, someone is gonna say at some point "Hey didn't pigeon suggest that site to me once?"
As a mod of a few big subs, that doesn't really work either. Lots of us ban those on sight because of those stupid t-shirt bots.
And that is microscopic compared to levying massive fines on businesses that don't go carbon neutral and passing global laws to protect the amazon and MESS UP any government that toys with it.
And that is nothing compared to corporate emissions and air travel, but the internet LOVES telling you that how you live your life is wrong for moral reasons or due to some panic.
I say this as a chef that's generally vegan friendly. We gotta stop blaming each other when we're a drop in the bucket compared to big business. They got you attacking other people so they can do what they want with impunity.
Oh we're doing the anti-bike thing? Fun! Riding a bike to work for me would take 3 hours. Not everyone fits in the same mold.
Just deleting the account keeps the comments there, though.
You gotta use one of those wipers to fully nuke your tracks. Otherwise you show as [Deleted] and the posts remain.
I don't. Google reader died, and all of the blogs put themselves on social media.
The walled garden is almost complete.
General, another settlement needs help.
Yeah. In the end I think it'll be beneficial, honestly, to put more control in the hands of the user. If you notice all of the problem people are coming from on place, blocking them all feels so counter-intuitive when you can just block the source. And every argument I hear against it is the same tired "free speech means you have to listen to me and give me a platform" thing you hear from just about everyone who has an opinion most people really don't wanna listen to.
And they take over every new social media site until people find a way to filter them out. That's why they fight so hard against said filters.

Nah, it's a democracy. Hi! I'm that mod in question. Man we protested for the users, that's why all of that happened in the first place. I'm also the mod that started the discussion with the community about blacking out, and if the option was to either get a few people mad by having my hand forced by spez or seeing the place turn into kotaku in action? I'll take the heat, I'm fine with that. I'd do it again.
My concern first and foremost is the people, I'm fucking PISSED at what spez pulled (and made that VERY clear in our return post) but he forced our hand. If they hand the place off to some of the random mods reddit has in their pocket for this kind of situation or anyone that requests it, it could fuck up the community. I'm literally a mod because I care about that not happening. And that didn't change just because spez is a dickhead.
I'd prefer to see us migrate elsewhere. Until that happens I'm gonna do my best to make the sub the best environment possible for what we do. If that makes me a turncoat, I'll own it, because this ain't about my ego dude. It's about the users. And I'm damn sure not being paid to do it.
