Putin riding in the frickin Beast, are u fckn kidding me?

He who drinks with the enemy while his ally bleeds is no hero but a fool. You grant him honor while he seeks to burn your and your ally’s home. No word of peace holds meaning while his sword is still raised against those who stand with you.

        It’s an article NOW. See the Edit where I explain that.

        When it was posted, it was solely an image and was removed. When OP corrected it, I restored it and added the edit to my comment.

            LOL - Reddit mods would just nuke the comments and not say why. I’m at least going to give you a reason.

              Exactly , on reddit the entire chain would be either deleted and locked with a few bans handed out , or the post locked for civility or whatever or outright deleted haha.

              People really get angry at you for properly modding without the heavy weight reactions of reddit mods.

                Lemmy in general gets mad at modding full stop. There’s a large contingent of anarchists who chafe at anyone else daring to tell them what they can and cannot do.

                Well, welcome to “life” kids. Without mods, this place would be over-run with spam, CSAM, propaganda, calls for murder and mayhem, and overt toxic hostility to other users.

                We don’t allow that shit. Don’t like it? Nobody is forcing you to stay.

                  thats just false anarchists then, anarchism is kinda all being on the same level and helping each other , your helping us just by keeping all the bad stuff out in short said.

                  btw thanks for modding.

                    Thanks! Yeah, they don’t handle explanations well. LOL.

                    I always liked this definition from “The Anarchists Tool Chest” (free PDF download):

                    https://lostartpress.com/products/the-anarchists-tool-chest

                    "Anarchy from a Woodworker’s Perspective

                    I hesitated to use the word “anarchy” in the title of this book because it means so many bad things to so many good people. In my high school, the “anarchists” wore “Bad Brains” leather jackets, black make-up (that was the boys) and had questionable hygiene.

                    They weren’t anarchists. They called themselves anarchists, but they knew as much about anarchism as they did about flossing.

                    Anarchy is the precise and correct word for my situation. And if you’ll bear with me, I think you’ll understand why a boring guy from the Mid-west who likes blue jeans and button-down shirts is a quiet anarchist.

                    For me, it’s quickest to explain what anarchy isn’t. It’s not about violence, the overthrow of governments, the dismantling of corporations or even the smoking of a mild hallucinogen made from boiling banana peels (actually, I tried this. I don’t recommend it or the searing headache it brings). Instead, anarchism is the realization that all large institutions – governments, corporations, churches – have divided up the tasks we do in our jobs to the point where these institutions do wasteful, dehuman-izing and stupid things.

                    Eunice Minette Schuster states in the book “Native American Anarchism” that American aesthetic anarchy is “the isolation of the individual – his right to his own tools, his mind, his body, and to the products of his labor.”

                    It’s a desire to work for yourself and to run in social and economic circles made up of other individual artisans.

                    Hey, that’s me. Heck, I have to believe that Schuster’s description applies to most woodworkers I know. We generally labor alone, producing objects that are the result of just our tools, our minds and our hands. These objects are a slap in the face of the cheap, mass-manufactured termite-diarrhea furniture in the discount stores. And we’re proud of the fact that our furniture is better than the stuff force-fed to the masses.

                    Though woodworking might seem a traditional, old-time skill, it is rare and radical stuff in this age."

                You’d prefer a mod who just operates silently? Offending bullshit is going to be removed either way, the choices are doing it with or without transparency.

                We don’t have anywhere near the trash reddit does, but that doesn’t mean we tolerate it.

                Reddit would just be:

                Removed
                Removed

                Removed
                Removed
                Removed

                Removed

                I’m at least going to tell you why something got removed.

                  A message about how the thread is locked because “y’all can’t behave” would be the cherry on top of this

                    I’m never going to lock a thread because it’s “too hard to moderate”, reddit does that all the time and I consider that to be giant pussy mod behavior.

                Do you realize how much effort this takes?

                None. At all. Bu-ban, unban. :)

                Fastest permaban I did was on a spam account. Caught it within 7 minutes of account creation and posting.

                Fastest ban I’ve seen was done by an admin on one of those hundreds of “Anti-Yanks” accounts. Banned instantly on creation. They didn’t even get to post.

                  Oh my god, that’s genuinely made my entire week. I’m crying with laughter right now.

                  I don’t know what it is about subversive behavior appearing in official documentation that amuses me so much.
