spujb OP , to Fediverse in Community for moderation accountability?

TIL! pinging @Soullioness to see if they’re active and/or have thoughts.

cuz yeah my most recent callout post went to !196 and a lot of people got really upset at me for being “off topic” 😓 (it was effective btw, yay!)

spujb OP , to Fuck Cars in No Competition

i have a shameful admission to make: i have never played cities skylines (either version) and i just pulled a logo from google to represent what i see in this community 🫣

my apologies go out to the cities skylines fanbase and their families at this time

spujb , to No Stupid Questions in why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out.

everyone is kind of giving snarky answers with a couple helpful tidbits in between but the true answer is:

trump is polling well. current polling indicates that trump is doing good enough at what is expected of him, which at the moment is simply running a campaign that will beat the democratic candidate.

people only really start calling for dropping out en masse when polls start to significantly falter because it’s an indication that the candidate is no longer running a competitive campaign.

spujb OP , to Fediverse in Community for moderation accountability?

ah understandable! thanks for sharing your thoughts and hope you can get some rest :)

spujb OP , to Fediverse in Community for moderation accountability?

Hmm it almost seems like you are responding to a different post? I didn’t really say much about timeliness here. :) This is more about corrupt or inappropriate moderation activity.

spujb OP , to Fediverse in Community for moderation accountability?

Nope not really that wouldn’t be good for my health (:

spujb OP , to Fediverse in Community for moderation accountability?

Appreciate the effort in responding, but I count 20 instances that defederate yours, covering several thousand users. That kind of hobbles the functionality of this as a concept. :/

spujb OP , to Fediverse in Community for moderation accountability?

Yeah, I suppose my idea of a decentralized accountability sublemmy would just help make that process a little more efficient.

Obviously it’s still rough and a mess but I think it’s a fair enough decentralized fit-in for Reddit’s centralized moderation authority.

spujb OP , to Fediverse in Community for moderation accountability?

This would be a perfect solution I think, if most major mods and subs weren’t hosted on .world and .ml.

The conflict of interest is real and intense; I have been told directly that certain problematic .world mod activity cannot be addressed because the mods in question are close friends with instance admins.

Thanks for your thoughts :)

spujb OP , to Fediverse in Community for moderation accountability?

These are valid concerns that could certainly prove problematic without further insight. :) Thanks for sharing.

spujb , to World News in Hathras crush: More than 120 killed at religious event in India

This is a very myopic and hateful comment, man. People died because of poor crowd control (something that happens at non-religious gatherings too, by the way) and your first instinct is to use terms like “stupid” in relation to these people’s religion. In states where religion is a protected attribute, saying something like this aloud to their families would quite literally be considered harrassment and discrimination.

It is not yet clear what led to the crush. Witnesses said the exit was too narrow and when people were leaving, a fierce dust storm led to confusion and panic, causing many people to become trampled.

You are literally a mod here, so I shouldn’t need to quote this at you but:

Community Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. "Ironic" prejudice is just prejudiced.

Emphasis mine. Quite disappointed to see this, dude. Come on.

spujb , to Technology in Structural problems with tech platforms prevent fact-checkers from focusing on harm and virality

you discovered the importance of multiple non-associated fact checking institutions holding one another accountable :)

ask :)

spujb , (edited ) to No Stupid Questions in Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day?

not sure why you are getting downvoted.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_chicken_stereotype
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermelon_stereotype

such stereotypes absolutely exist to dehumanize. the other comment about red foods and juneteenth, while not factually false, fully misses the point of OPs question to an embarrassing degree.

edit: i guess to nitpick rather than “a meal imposed by oppressors” you should have said “two foods associated with stereotypes imposed by oppressors.” just to be fair.
