you do not need a comms team to say, "we have removed their ability to post, but are leaving the offending post(s) as a matter of public record until we hear from our legal representation".

But also, they should have a comms team, because they do seem to be dumb babies.

then take away their ability to post.
November 14, 2025 at 8:24 PM
honestly, not a big deal, I get where you are coming from, though I really do disagree with your assessment of the situation.
November 14, 2025 at 8:11 PM
I don't take advice from hypocrites, thanks anyway.

People famously don't do illegal things. Also, that's not the type of weed the article is talking about.

what anger?
November 14, 2025 at 7:45 PM
unless you think it's okay to be condescending when someone is correct, in which case, fair enough. you do you.

I don't know why you think pointing out the most obvious thing is raising the temperature, but I can't read your mind.
November 14, 2025 at 7:44 PM
talking down to me is pretty condescending.

not my fault someone decided to post their inability to think where other people can see it.
November 14, 2025 at 7:42 PM
wait til you hear about screenshots my dude

I find the label more lazy than wrong.

neither are arbitrary.

bombing boats in the gulf to lie to the public is a reason

defended johnny cash is also a reason

both are very bad reasons (for different reasons), but they aren't arbitrary.

not moderating gives tacit permission

should it? no, but it does.

you better believe I'm going to drive the same speed as everyone else, and if I get pulled over, I'll be annoyed.

unless that was sarcasm, in which case, ya got me.
November 14, 2025 at 5:32 PM
why do you believe them?
November 14, 2025 at 5:31 PM
what is the current ratio?
November 14, 2025 at 5:29 PM
they suck at their job, so even if they do something that is relatively inoffensive and fine they fucking blow it.
November 14, 2025 at 5:29 PM
like, I'm labeled rude, and that was because I said rude things, so whatevas. It is annoying that it is a blanker label so even if I say, "hey, cute bunny" it's flagged as rude, but it's more funny at this point than anything else.
November 14, 2025 at 5:26 PM
beyond a moderation document they lifted from some other platform that they probably haven't even read, that is.
November 14, 2025 at 5:25 PM
I might disagree with their ban, but like, I can understand the reasoning, I think the whole issue just really highlights how dogshit their moderation team is, and that's more an issue for me than a dumb ban.

I am highly dubious that they have any sort of internal documentation on how to moderate.

you seem particularly dim

"Congressional Research Service that summarized existing research found backlog estimates ranging from 90,000 to 400,000 kits."

they do not care about justice, and it's chump behavior to carry water for people who couldn't care less about you.
