Artw, I've liked your contributions for a long time but you should have gotten a 24-hour timeout for what you did in that front page post last night. I flagged it myself and would absolutely eat the 24 hour suspension to underline the… [more]

Oh yeah, this totally could have been handled better, so apologies. Hippybear's derailing comments should have been removed sooner. Even if they weren't, articulating to those who were responding to them could have been done better in the… [more]

I find all the resistance lib era names for Trump kind of dumb and silly, but In general if there isn’t an actual reason to require other users to post a particular way there shouldn’t really be a rule about it. [more]

She very clearly rolled a bunch of 1s on everything and is pretty open about it. I think she does a good job on speculaing on what a better experience might be like, but she didn't get one. And she doesn't get to do a do-over and hope for better… [more]

It’s a stupid policy, but it doesn’t matter, because as above re:crime it absolutely isn’t about policy or the effects of policy on the external world, it’s about having the correct vibes and appealing to people’s bad instincts and inner demons. You… [more]

There’s basically only a shitpost derail because of a dumb reflexive deletion. It’s highly illustrative of how the mods absolutist instincts are actually making things more contentious not less. [more]

I’m really not sure what the pause was about. It didn’t seem to helped things - if it was a delay to allow a better mod response it doesn’t really seem to have helped. Mainly it gives the impression of hoping the issue will go away. [more]
