I was shocked to see this log as it is the largest public health forum. No wonder why people are falling for pseudoscience and misinformation these days as problematic individuals are entrusted in important roles. I suppose it’s time for another migration.
What arguments, it’s like someone complaining about roads when they live on a boat and haven’t ever touched land. As the admin of the instance has said, should Jet fall short, they’ll remove him. Until then, either be an active member of the community or ignore it.
So you make ad hominem attacks? That’s not a rational response. That’s something a manipulator does. While accusing others of being disingenuous. Clean up your shit.
I’m gonna leave it at this. An ad hominem attack isn’t the same as providing context. I’m not a moderator of the community nor am I an admin of the instance. But I use the community a lot and as such I want a vibrant functioning community. For me personally, your opposition to Jet would hold more weight if you posted. But it’s akin to people wanting to ban gay sex and yet they identify as straight and live in a town which is 100% straight. It doesn’t remotely affect you. If you do decide to become active, I will happily make you feel welcome as that’s what a community is about.
I’m about to briefly engage with your distraction tactic but don’t for a moment believe I accept it. I also don’t think that any successful refutation of anything you say will change your mind, because I think you are merely dissembling. This is truly shameful behaviour.
People who post in a /c are not the only stakeholders. There is a huge portion of users in every /c who never post, and yet who are informed on the workings of the community, and get value from the /c. There are even people who do not directly participate in the /c at all who are none the less stakeholders, like the admins and other people contributing labour and paying actual money to try to develop our broader community (in the real world sense). And finally, there are observers who are not directly affected by the situation, and yet have relevant experience to bring to bear and merely want to help.
You are trying to draw arbitrary lines so that you don’t have to deal with criticism. It’s shockingly transparent. “Your opinion doesn’t matter because you are vegan.” “Your opinion doesn’t matter because you don’t post enough.” Sir, YOUR opinion doesn’t matter, because you’re a sophist.
