Where in the hell is this?

To all the nerds having a fucking hissy fit about poor little "Palworld"

If you want to play adult Pokemon, play Shin Megami

Then that's a far more pertinent thing to change than the TDT's.

Should be an option that's visibility is off by default and can only be turned on in account settings.

Something 72T mentioned in their selfcrit

This was not just my own isolated belief - other moderators who pay closer attention to the broader site culture than I do (as I stay in the news mega 95% of the time) were adamant that these changes be made, as they have repeatedly said that comrades from certain minority groups have been turned off from joining or staying on the site due to the site culture.

How exactly do we know this about the joining part? And how much of “site culture” is being misconstrued by liberals on other parts of lemmy? It’s no secret that other lemmy instances lie like anything else about here.

Here a couple of thoughts.

If you’re an admin posting, don’t do bits. Have an alt and preferably recognisable as such.

Mod actions shouldn’t be anonymous. Own your shit.

Admins need a scheduled Q&A session with the community where it's genuine discussion and no shitposting.

According to kristina, 10% of the site are mods (hyperbole maybe but who knows). So who's to say users having legitimate dissenting opinions aren't being silenced by particular mods because they don't like the blowback. Certainly no transparency around mod actions as mentioned.

the_dunk_tank in the past month is ranked; 6th users/month, 3rd posts, 2nd comments.

Ah yes changes to that comm are exactly like a site wide discussion on banning "some random guy over a weird comment".

Say the line Bart

"deeply unserious"

its impossible to know exactly how everyone is going to take every small change that must be done, and i feel like this is genuinely a really small change.

Well it is pretty obvious from the reaction that it wasn't

I have had parents ask (me) if we can assure the blood we're giving their kid is from white people. Which... no, we dont take down that data. The kid either gets this blood or they keep getting sicker. Wanna risk your kids life on your racism??? It's the same fucking blood.** Since there's a donor shortage where I live**, we end up importing blood from the US from paid donors.

Where would this be?

So I can post here where I fucked up and copped a temp ban and try to explain myself?

Or just ban people for opposing it I guess

Also not having ownership of who has actually done the post removal/ban is bullshit. Own your action. Rarely i'd say there's been consensus. Too much happens on this site to be discussing every action.

Like if something is deadass a major problem with the site, pitch you case for changing what is wrong.

And site examples so users actually know where the line is and why something is problematic. Can't learn anything by just scolding and effectively saying "you know what they did wrong"

It honestly feels like

Users:

"Please let us have a discussion if you plan on making any drastic changes to the site. We all know what's happened in previous ongoing giant struggle sessions"

Mods:

Show

Also to add.

Can mods/admin stop making big changes to the site without posing the question to the community? Can this be written in big bold font somewhere? Was nothing learned during the vcj incident?

Late to reading up on what was happening till last night/this morning (AEDT; UTC+11:00)

Perhaps all we want to do is point and laugh, perhaps a baby leftist sees something Not Good TM somewhere else on the internet, and while they do not have all the context or education on the matter to make an effort post of why said thing is Not Good TM, they do have the ability to identify it as Not Good TM and can post it to let other people tear it apart.

I think this is the point people were making in the other threads, right?

Getting people to do homework for every post just kills the vibe

Is this like the vcj incident where mods have just decided something, regardless of user base input, and subsequently have blown themselves up?
