For what its worth, my personal easiest-to-consume media is podcast (ideally in a form where its a proper conversation and ideas that are being presented are being challenged). Less about text-vs-video, more about time-i-have-free.
Podcasts at least I can focus on while doing other activities.
This does feel like an interesting video to watch, though I'm about 5 minutes in from your start-point) and I may be a bit out of time.
May get back to this at some point, but I sadly don't have the 80 minutes to finish it, much less the time to do the additional research required (since IMO a lecture by itself on a subject like this may simply take some things I disagree with as fact, rather than proving them to me)
I truly commend you for that. Wish I could - just realized I've talked to you a bit here already! I continue to wish you the best!
For what its worth, it took me a half hour (some of which was while I should have been paying more attention to my baby....) to get through all related context.
Your right - so I actually finally just spent a half hour to read through all related available material that I could find
100% took me longer to read through and reply to this stuff lol
Wow it sure is easy to prove someone is a dumbass when you put words in their mouth, isn't it.
Sure is easy to post something like that when the vast majority of the community agrees with you. Almost like it gives you... Authority to just kinda be mean.
Why am I replying. At this point it's caused me as much stress and time as it would have to actually give the post the time it may have deserved to research.
So, the bare post is 1500 words, not counting any links.
Do you really read posts at 300 words per minute? To me, that's skimming, which I try to not do. Can't imagine trying to read something that quickly that I wanted to properly digest.
Wait, are we literally seeing different things cus of different instances?
I see 1500 words (did a copy paste check). Screenshot is too large for me to post.
But to be clear, I'd also need to read all linked articles. This is not a quick task, unless I'm misunderstanding something.
Have you ever read something that you disagree with where you feel the need to do supplemental research in order to form a accurate opinion because you feel like the source is biased?
Get where your coming from here, and I generally agree.
It felt like it would have taken me several hours to get to that place though.
God why am I even relying here I don't have time to get 7 more replies for a comment that boiled down to 'sorry I couldn't finish but I don't think I agree'
Really just don't want to, since I got a third a the way in.
Realized I was only a third in
Realized I didn't really agree so far
Remembered some of the ideological differences between myself and some posts here
Decided it would be too much effort to go through the rest for too little benefit.
It is simply not possible for me to read through all of this. Wish I could.
But it sounds like your harassing someone for taking positions that you feel are contradictory, when they are not. And your taking great pains to justify why it's ok to harass this person.
Spoiler, it's not justified.
EDIT:
Spent 30 minutes trying to read through everything linked in the post including:
The original article
The original hexbear post
Jessica's linkedin
Her Atlantic Council bio
(an failed attempt to find) the original linked CIA document
Have some questions/comments/summary
In general, do people here feel as though the noted content moderation policy ("Do not post content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual or a group of people; likewise, do not post content that glorifies or encourages the abuse of animals.") is wrong, unfair, or incorrectly implemented?
I can understand the plausibility that she was made a CEO of reddit by the CIA, but I'm curious if anyone opinions about her would actually change if it was somehow 'knew' that she was not - I ask because it feels (to me) as though the actions she took could have reasonably been taken by someone who wasn't a CIA plant, which to me should affect the thought process
I can 100% understand blocking posts on a job-related website that disparage your work, and I think it would be unreasonable to expect otherwise. Like.... legit. Does anyone think it would be reasonable to keep disparaging posts on your linkedin bio? Just not the vibe.
I know some of you do really try to read all context for posts replying, but do all of you? Like, if I posted something here, and important context was basically a book.... would you really try to read it all before replying? Is that the standard y'all hold yourselves to?
Even assuming The Atlantic Council is a CIA firm, I still find it reasonably plausible that the CIA did not put her in the role - her roles for The Atlantic counsel feel like a natural fit for a content moderation team executive, and (per what I said in #2) it doesn't feel like she made any decisions that a CIA plant would have been much more likely to have made.
Thank you to those who have been kind in this process of me doing the research, and spending the effort to make this edit.
I don't hate y'all, but some of the posts here can be indigestable.
Some posts simply assume everyone is on the same page with something - which is likely true, since you've been a community for a long time.
Maybe I'll come back and edit this with an example at some point.
I expect it likely works quite well in a community where everyone knows and agrees to that.
In my opinion, when the pond gets too big it becomes too hard to tell if what the abrasive-but-fair from the just-being-a-jerk comments
Like, I was distracted for hours and couldn't sleep then couldn't work because of a side-comment insult im a post because it went against someone I strongly believe in. Had to research everything that was being said in the post and carefully reply to move on. That is not the life I want for myself.
Don't know how much of that really apply here, since like someone else said, I haven't actually seen 'mean' hexbear comments outside of hexbear, and never gotten one.

Man, I was refering to one section of the video you linked me to didn't mean it to be a personal attack.
