You’re right, nothing on earth is a herbivore, because everything can eat meat. By the same logic, nothing is a carnivore, because everything, cats included, can eat plants. Therefore, cats are not carnivores. They’re omnivores, as you say.
Horses will also opportunistically eat meat if it’s available. Are horses carnivores?
I think that’s called a virtual machine
Sounds like you haven’t experienced the bliss that is fairy bread with Nutella instead of butter.
The future is now, old man!
Which mod is queerphobic? Can I see the evidence?
If you were never a member of the community, then you’ve lost nothing from being banned, and the mod was right to decide that your comment wasn’t a good faith contribution from a member of the community.
It does. You’ve opened the conversation about voting as participation and helped us reach some new ideas on moderation practice. It’s dialectics. As I said in another comment in this thread, I think the existence of posts like this is good even if this ban wasn’t a problem.
Participating in a conversation ain’t homework. And if you don’t want to have a conversation, don’t bother replying.
I wanna add that I like your community, I like how you stood up to that rogue admin, I like when you annoy carnists, I like your ban of OP, and I also like that c/fediverselore has posts like this. This community is a tool for calling out mod decisions, and some of those decisions will be good ones that don’t need calling out. It’s still better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Justified ban imo. You weren’t there to discuss veganism as a vegan, you were there for drama. It’s not spam when they make a lot of posts to their own community. Unless the content is hateful, the correct response is to block.
Users cannot vote in a community that has banned them. If the mod wants to restrict voting only to people who vote in good faith, that’s their prerogative. It’s probably a good idea, it prevents downvote spam from bots and the like. When you have a community that has very different values from /all, maybe kicking the /all people who vote against the sub’s values out is good. Voting is participation.
Cause over the last few weeks, a bunch of debates over moderation drama have been full of people attacking vegans over the cat taurine debate. That drama is over and it reached a consensus resolution between the mods and admins. If they’ve made an executive judgement that the moderation drama is no longer relevant and baits carnists into breaking rule 5, then removing that debate is a valid application of rule 5.
You’re right, how could I be so blind. They’re actually sausage sangas
I think we need a doctors note for more than two days
I don’t understand that policy. The only times in the last 4 years that I’ve needed more than 2 days of sick leave was because I had covid, and I think that’s a very common experience. And people with covid should absolutely not be going to the doctors office and exposing themselves to the sick and elderly. If someone has covid, you should be telling them to stay home. We’re currently in the middle of a worldwide pandemic.
You should read these memes slower so you can pay attention more. This meme is about calling in healthy on the day of. People don’t know if they’re going to be healthy in two days. So your comment has the opposite meaning of the one intended. You’re saying you do ask questions if someone asks for time off on the day, and therefore that you’re a restrictive boss who wouldn’t allow this meme.
Mod ban for bad reason.
Planning to offend bigots isn’t the same as trolling.
A few weeks ago I had a lovely conversation with Shovel on SLRPNK about playgrounds. There was an image with a LARP arena for the children in it. Shovel was complaining that a LARP arena is too niche and specific, and kids aren’t going to use it. I pointed out that playing swords and castles is a lot of boys’ favourite thing to do at playgrounds. Once the issue was rephrased in familiar terms, Shovel realised they had been wrong, and tons of boys like to LARP. They just don’t call it LARPing. In conclusion, Track_Shovel is left wing, interested in social justice, and willing to admit when they make a mistake. Those are good qualities.
Track Shovel isn’t a troll. Squid was wrong.
Great Depression taters
Why don’t you cut out the middleman, avoid wasting your doctor’s time when there are sick people who can actually be treated, and call your work directly? This corporate beaurocracy is ridiculous, there’s no point getting doctors notes for these things.
