I’m not a mod anymore, but downvotes are disabled on beehaw.

I don’t feel the need to go into detail, but it was an interaction in the mod discord that changed my mind.

Deciding to contribute regularly, let alone to mod a community, isn’t a light decision for me. It’s a lot of time and effort to spend.

So for me it doesn’t take more than one interaction that feels disrespectful and dismissive to decide that my time and energy is better spent elsewhere. I’ve been around more than one online community and feel as if I can recognize patterns by now. That’s what made me want to take my time and attention to another instance.

If the other party to that interaction wants to weigh in, that’s well within their power to do.

@alyaza@beehaw.org Frogman has a good point so maybe we can leave it as-is. I just won’t use it.

Still it should probably be fixed before you get a letter from a lawyer about GDPR violations.

My feelings about beehaw as a community changed today, which is why I’m leaving.

But I will give some thought to it. Maybe if the admins don’t delete it I can leave it in place and the comments and posts can be of some use to someone.

I just locked your post, but I can’t remove anymore https://beehaw.org/post/1051360?scrollToComments=true

Yup! I type my password, get logged out, but the account still exists. Also I press “leave mod team” and it doesn’t take.

I can’t seem to leave the c/news mod team either.

Thanks.

I feel as if I have to remove this because of the source being so non-credible.

If you can find a more credible source than a person on youtube, please repost. But I am removing this with an eye to the following guideline:

Social media should be a source of last resort.

I think a sports community might be a better fit for this. I’m also noting that you’re getting downvotes, which are necessarily off-instance since they aren’t supported on Beehaw.

But right now I don’t find any sports communities while searching, and so that makes me think it can stay here for now. This is related to an international event, even if it is a sports event.

Not every protestor is necessarily prepared to face big jail sentences.

Take some time to think about whether these are positive contributions you’re making, or if you’re just being argumentative. You’re also not approaching my argument with good faith.

It has nothing to do with us.

I think you will find that the liberal-capitalist world order with some semblance of norms like national self determination and resistance to overt nationalistic annexation does benefit the US.

Note that I’m not saying I like this world order, or the US politic. But your assertion looks false to my eyes. Even if there was no moral issue of enabling Ukrainian self defense because Ukrainian self defense is a moral good, the USA benefits from preventing authoritarian regimes from using military force to swallow up their neighbors. And so do the European countries.

It’s just in the main calling app, the standard ‘phone’ one. Possibly a Graphene exclusive.

I still have it on my GrapheneOS Pixel

I would rather give them a higher amount of higher-cost and more accurate weapons. I know why the US wouldn’t, and why Ukraine accepts this. It’s their choice in the end.

I don’t think we particularly need to celebrate this though.

“In the past, it was not uncommon for an archaeologist to find (remains) and say, ‘OK, this individual has a sword and a shield. Therefore, he’s a man.’ Of course, deeply mistaken, because it assumes that in the past gender roles were the way we conceive them today,” García Sanjuán said.

Just to put it out there, but no serious archeologist has believed this for a while.

Consider the two clearly gay women burried together in an Old Norse tomb, with their cannabis seeds and Swastika-engraved Buddha statue. The idea that male dominance and disarming of women is universal is not something anyone can believe after making a serious study of history.

Just consider the Albanian women who took up male identities to become warriors. Note that I’m still referring to them here as women since arguably these historical practices are less about trans identity and more about social positions.

😆 No, I meant Windows. I gave it a brief shot after some trouble with Linux gaming, but the user experience was much worse.

I tried once the last decade and it was a pretty bad user experience.

Can’t blame em for trying to win the cat/mouse game of adblocking.

IDK; I blame them.

YouTube has become part of the world’s social infrastructure. In a way, it is the town square.

Frankly it should be publicly owned.
