  • There are plenty of comments removed that don’t include such provocative language.

    Which I commented on in my post already in point 3, and why I agree with blocking (as well as a revisit to see if further action is needed).

    Why are you so focused on that one example?

    Because its a pretty ridiculous example to use. Probably the worst example in the list, and its in the post multiple times.

    That doesn’t change my opinion of feddit, though, as I said. The fact that I find feddit as a whole to be an indicator of whether or not someone will have what I consider to be some of the worst views also has no bearing on my being disappointed with that sort of comment being used as an example.

    Edit: Its also a violation of rule 2 right here. So using it as an example when its explicitly something against the rules right here makes it especially ridiculous. Making it also very worth pointing out how shitty it is to see.






  • I’ve got a few thoughts on this.

    First, its insane to me that someone could read the rules and decide anti-zionist is anti-semitic. That is either someone who doesn’t understand words and has no interest in learning them, or is someone actively zionist (and supports genocide, thus the issue with zionism).

    Second, I’ve got my complaints about what I’m seeing from the flotilla/friendly instances.

    • Someone saying “Fuck off you piece of trash” getting banned from a community is in no way a surprise.
    • The same goes for “You’ll get the wall”
    • Same for “kys”
    • Same for calling someone a Nazi for what I assume is a supportive comment about the war in Ukraine. Just to note, don’t bother trying to respond to me with anything about Russia being in the right on this one. I’ll just block.

    Third, there are quite a few comments there that are completely appropriate (support for Israel is support for genocide, etc), the thread about quokk.au is utterly nonsensical to me, as are the discussions in MoG (which shouldn’t really be a surprise).

    To sum up my thoughts… At no point do I regret voting in support of rule 8. I am really disappointed by some of the comments I’m seeing being used as support for de-federating though, some of those are just disgusting.

    Overall, I’m in support of dropping the comms due to the blatant zionist posts that go on there.

    Edit: formatting fuckup, and a whole word.


  • I hate to say it but its kind of true.

    I have zero care nor concern about what I wear on video, and that includes some pretty hefty level clientele. I was on with some c suite assholes the other day while wearing a TMNT hoodie to explain how they wasted a bunch of money on a bad design and now they need to spend more.

    Not one comment and they signed the contract the following morning.

    I think its because the people who truly do not give a shit are the ones most capable.

    (Caveat: I’m only good and known at the stupid shit that I do, and consider myself 100% dumbass for those things that are not what I do.)







  • Prose literacy: Can you read a newspaper article and understand the main points?

    Document literacy: Can you fill out a job application or interpret a map?

    Quantitative literacy: Can you balance a checkbook or understand a chart with multiple data points?

    Someone reading at a 6th-grade level can handle most day-to-day reading tasks. They can read their prescription bottles, follow basic instructions, and understand straightforward news articles.

    What they struggle with is synthesizing complex information from multiple sources, drawing inferences from technical documents, or navigating websites with multiple layers of information.
