I'd rather you didn't harass my instance's moderators. I heard your community is defederating, right? Sounds like the decisions has been made for us already that we can agree to disagree.

If we were at war and they were soldiers, sure. Otherwise it's murder.

Let it rest, we've all seen that screenshot a dozen times now. Literally, let Moss rest. Mods are people too.

Being called a liberal is insulting enough. Most liberals will identify as progressives.

I agree with all of these takes. You're still a tankie though.

There is no one to the right of authoritarians who want to silence dissent and use violence to right the inequalities in society.

Moss don't be leaking DM's in the future. You need to be tactical to be socially responsible. You could ask us - should we remove the banner? Or make a post saying that it may be upsetting Hexbears. I think the sentiment would have gone absolutely the same without showing your cards.

I hope you dive deeper into the podcast rabbithole than NPR someday soon.

Shocked to see their politics described as leftist.

I hope you find and appoint a few excellent new mods so that you and Ada can get that weight off of your shoulders.

I think you should slow down and wait a few days.

On the contrary, I'm super glad to find out I can block the posts of a community without generalizing about the quality of its users.

Suntimes also has weather!

Typical lib take, increasing democracy, again? What are you gonna do, vote for the blue landlord over the red landlord every 4 years? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) /s

I serve thee, m'lady

I agree that this would be a false equivalence. But, the title is a form of persuasion. By saying "this was done by an evil villain" and then saying "no, this was done by who you thought to be the hero" the post can catch some liberals off-guard before a defense response kicks in and this could begin their path leftwards.

Because I have to live here. Every. Single. Day.

This is so true but corporate media has such a grip on this topic. Sure conservatives are scared shitless, sure. I live in a small town and want to move to a small city or a big city if I can. I'm scared too! The messaging that cities are more dangerous started when I was a kid and has never stopped. It's hard to find positive takes and resources about why cities are safer / not dangerous.

When your expression of freedom gets in the way of my health, my gut reaction is that I need you to stop.

Wow.
