How the fuck do I explain this to my wife.
Seriously, fuck off.
The admins, when setting up this site, said they’d accept and welcome user feedback. I’ve provided that feedback.
If you want to insinuate transphobia or wrecking on my part, find some actual fucking evidence. Otherwise, do not reply to me again.
I’ve explained this several times already.
Being edgy, hated, outcasts has always been part of the appeal of both the pod, sub, and site. Why do you think everyone was so happy to be banned?
And
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all
Please be kind and courteous to your fellow leftists. There’s no need to be mean or rude unless it’s a chud.
Respect that people have differences of opinion
We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone.
Moderators are held to a higher standard than other community members. If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they should expect less leeway than others.
We believe in unrestrained criticism of power
Power to the posters.
TLDR; Yes, we have a prescribed tone. If users think mods are not abiding by the standards, they do have the right to criticise them.
We’ve all agreed to certain codes of conduct for interactions on the site. Mods are violating those. That doesn’t change our approach to those outside the community. Piss on Thatcher’s grave, massacre slave owners, hang all transphobes, but also form a “safe and welcoming environment” in which to do so. These are not contradictory.
