This is some fine trolling

Fuck juniper fr though

100% probably some privacy protected flavor of Linux that doesn’t show up on whatever survey they used

We’re gonna put it on a scheduled repost loop, with it being stickied for at least an hour every post. A different hour each time too.

Well did you find out?

Worked in IT for over a decade, lawyers are the fucking. worst.

This is a pretty level headed take, and I maintain a similar policy in communities I moderate.

It’s highly suspicious yes, lol

Also not what I posted

I also wasn’t banned so… idk.

Admins of remote instances can see what mods are taking what actions

I mean look for yourself. It’s right there.

Calling comparing to Xi Jinping to Pooh bear racist is hilariously victim complexy. It has nothing to do with his skin and everything to do with his goofy lookin face.

“Misinformation”

You mean he’s pretending Hong Kong was super into being subjugated by China on live tv

Or pretending tiananmen square didn’t happen

Like, cmon. It’s basically just CCP propaganda, and even that’s ok if you’re not going through and removing comments that disagree with it

I mean, it’s davel. I can see it in the mod logs.

You offering or…?

Yeah it’s unfortunate

I mean credit where credit is due, this post is still up, and they’ve got good memes

This post specifically is what made me think about it

But that same admin has a history of posting highly questionable information and deleting anyone who disagrees.

asks for example

provides example

reports comment

I agree there. Then you look at the mod log and it’s stuff like “Hamas is bad” or “Stalin wasn’t so great” Or “China is pretty capitalist”

Then you look through the mod log and something like 50% or more of removed comments are all from .ml

Definitely wouldn’t make it my home instance

This is the post that made me think about it

Compare the deleted comments to the mod log and it’s just like… wuht?

And every single post in the thread was deleted by the same guy, who just drops the same post with a ton of links to questionable sources to every comment before deleting them.

I’m questioning the optics and impact of moderators/admins participating in discussions while removing opinions counter to theirs, sometimes under false pretenses. If you want free and open discussion, that’s not how you want an instance to operate, it’s just another form of authoritarianism and censorship in its own right.

That’s what’s interesting, “reactionary” has started to lose its meaning and more turned into “reacting with an opinion I disagree with”

But that’s where the conflict of interest comes in. Any discussion is inherently imbalanced when half of it is blanket removed- but it’s okay as long as it’s the other

👌 thanks for your contribution to the discussion
