So this is the second sonic mashup I've seen today, what have I missed?
Just going to leave this here for the denial club:
RUBIO ORDERS STATE DEPARTMENT TO STOP ISSUING ACCURATE PASSPORTS TO TRANS PEOPLE
The rich love convincing themselves (and the general population) that the working class and therefore society at large depends entirely on them and on their gracious "job creating" generosity to not only survive, but exist.
In reality it is the exact opposite that is true - without the workers to exploit, they are nothing, and if the workers of the world unite, we can get rid of them, and their oppressive systems, for good.
Imagine the shock and awe they would experience when that finally happens.
Lol at Errol Musk supposedly not being a piece of shit because he was a member of a progressive party at one point, undoubtedly to serve his own financial interests and reputation, and not because he suddenly decided that exploiting oppressed people in his emerald mine (and other businesses) was bad.
He also married his stepdaughter, who he ~~raised~~ groomed from when she was 4.
He also apparently supported trump before musk jr. ever did - https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-father-errol-debunks-controversial-claims_n_67475372e4b08e4755035f4e (if anyone wants to actually watch the full interview where he apparently "discussed his family’s ties to the South African apartheid regime" among other things, and report back, you're more than welcome, but I ain't doing it lol)
They both have zero redeeming qualities.
It's a bit too late for that, the digital information is already out there, and trying to hide any of it now wouldn't be much use against physical door to door/workplace/school/church raids anyway.
so which mod did what is actually visible to everyone if you know where to look.
Where do you look? Because on both my current and previous instances it only says "mod" in the modlog, and seeing who made individual decisions would be an improvement on that for the reasons WrittenInRed mentioned.
Some users are stupid and focus on pedantry and technicalities. If you struggle to deal with such users, send them to another mod.
Would be great to not use ableism in the rules, perceived intelligence is not why people are trolls/bigots/harmful.
Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
I personally think this removes all accountability from offending users. They might not like hearing it, but they'll never learn unless they are held fully accountable not only for their intent but much more importantly, for their impact.
In any case, good luck to you!
For what it's worth, I'm adding my voice to the "keep the no tankies rule" pile.
People who don't know what they're talking about hurling it as a generalised insult at leftists doesn't devoid it of its actual meaning, nor of the importance of explicitly keeping tankies out for the safety of the rest of the community.
People licking Xi or Kim boot deserve the exact same treatment as people licking Trump or Musk boot do.
This.
It works as a great self sorting filter, a lot like how mentioning the patriarchy does - those who feel it personally applies to them feel attacked and get defensive, outing themselves.
I'm an an-com, and have never felt attacked or excluded by the term tankie because I'm secure in the knowledge that I don't support authoritarianism in any form. If someone calls me one (and they have), I have a chuckle to myself at how people would rather display their own wilful ignorance than address a valid point or face an uncomfortable reality, then move on with my life. It's pretty simple really.
Your, or even any, office not receiving official orders doesn't make this not true.
Cool post, but the only thing going through my mind as soon as I read the title was this 😂
For starters, you made a blanket statement about the post in its entirety claiming it, and the experience of the person who made it, isn't true, you can backpedal now, but that's what you did.
Secondly:
In other words
Thirdly:

You not being comfortable confronting reality doesn't mean it isn't happening.
