What other wonders can we blame on shit-posting?

Could you edit that with a link or text for the accessibility of it all?

Maybe look over my comment history esp re language usage

Nah, too much effort, like proof editing a comment. Better to just plop out comments into the lemmy commode & flush them away with a press of the Post button. Right? 😉

ducking

This is lemmy: pretty sure you can write fucking without burning our virgin eyes/ears. Maybe. Don't quote me on that.

To compound the situation, the reporting process against moderators is hidden from view & a joke, and they practically prohibit any place to openly share notes on bad moderators, so users can't collectively gather compelling evidence, organize, and condemn bad moderators.

Moderator Code of Conduct: Rule 3:

As a moderator, you cannot interfere with or disrupt Reddit communities, nor can you facilitate, encourage, coordinate, or enable members of your community to do this.

Interference includes:

• Enabling or encouraging content that showcases when users are banned or actioned in other communities, with the intent to incite a negative reaction.

Again, fuck that place.

Possible, unlikely, worse. The most accessible content is native text with the full content structure of the original. Quoting without compromises & feeble games would be better.

It's scary until you notice you don't get banned for disagreeing & challenging their dumbassery (as long as you follow the rules), unlike reddit where the slightest wrong move & it's BAN BAN BAN. Fuck that place.

It also helps to check which instance a post comes from & adjust your expectations accordingly.

what’s stopping me from just screenshoting

Images of text? Accessibility.

So, another sacrifice at the altar of social media to deliberately break a straightforward feature at the expense of people who need accessibility.

• ableism +1
• accessibility 0

Social media can be such trash.

They need to put out an advisory to stop breeding with that man.

Definitely, especially when the "damage" is meaningless, imaginary, clearly not even directed at them, and well within someone's capacity to disregard & not take personally.

They really need to bring back the "Sticks and Stones" nursery rhyme: cultivating all this fragility & learned helplessness ain't serving humanity.

The Mesopotamians had some cool myths extolling humanity's ability to endure the gods' multiple attempts to exterminate them with disease, pestilence, drought, great floods. I think people have some capacity to get over themselves & endure some ridicule not directed at them. Imagine if the Mesopotamians instead wrote legends of the gods exterminating or curtailing humanity with the slightest hint of ridicule directed elsewhere.

Enki, however, as always never at a loss for creative ideas, devised a way that he hoped would finally solve the problem caused by the quarrelling gods themselves. He decreed that from now on the humans' lifespans would be severely limited from the outset (in biblical terms to 120 years) by the indirect ridicule of their peers.

Beyond pathetic.

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.

Source unclear, often attributed to Richard Feynman.

That's…such a non-issue. If that totally devastates someone, maybe they should work on their resilience or fortitude? Do we really need to pull out the world's tiniest violin for every contingency?

Glad you understand it, though.
