Cool-headed? What was going on I wonder with the modlogs inferring he spammed the ban hammer against her in four different communities (three would be unrelated) before the initiation of official instance action (all with the default reason cited, like he wanted to drive the statement of a grudge home)? The only thing she was elaborating on was how counter-intuitive it is American Democrats split their sympathies between the LGBT and the complete creed of Islam (hence the part in the OP about the LGBT, of note is the fact her asexuality is alluded to in conversation almost each time corresponding to something like this happening). Honestly sounds like a particularly agenda-based sentiment.
Thanks, friend.
I didn't know those existed.
That's nice but that's a performance art, the "arts" as opposed to a work of art.
But that's kind of what I'm looking for, permanent products.
Having read all of this a few times and thinking about each thing being talked about, there is one thing that comes to my mind: discounts
I remember when I was little, there were certain places like the movie theater or certain venues that have a "partnership discount system". They would treat groups of people with under a certain number of people as a singular individual, more or less, or favorably in certain aspects. They'd make the whole experience this way. If you showed up with a friend, you'd get more out of the experience than if you showed up on your own. Probably how the occupation/client aspect mentioned would work. So there are small social engineering tricks I'm sure which can combine in a contrived way to make a system that entices the middle of Maslow's needs to be fulfilled.
Something like that in of itself just requires privately enforced discretion.
So like Penny Proud but turquoise (and without the odangos, which I can see is persona-based)? What about the other stuff?
You were an exchange student? I've always wanted to be one of those. Any horror stories when abroad, like realizing you had to know more languages, finding a host, getting stuck...?
What was offensive? What did they say?
Is this to say celebrities are not allowed to keep secrets and complain about leaked secrets?
What colour hoodies are you known to wear?
Was going to answer this earlier but I thought maybe someone else might before I did.
Yes, you're on the right track, give or take a little nuance. On Reddit, this would get someone banned in a heartbeat, which is arguably not entirely out of left field.
To explain it in summarized terms, basically there's an admin of the ML instance and a community mod (the mod is from the community !casualconversation@lemm.ee).
The mod and the admin happened to meet up on a post about LGBTQ+ rights, the mod herself being on the asexual spectrum. The mod brought up (because she thought it was relevant, as a third party member I guess) that the American Democrat Party often appeals to groups (such as Islam, even not minding their extreme side) who have a history of not seeing eye to eye with the LGBTQ+.
The admin, who is known for being very articulate but reached a new low I've ever seen with this incident, tried getting his opinion in to no avail before removing half of her (the mod's) replies there, banning her from a bunch of random communities to get a point across, effectively made her leave the instance, exposed private information of hers out of spite if that wasn't enough, and then backlashed on Reddit when someone called him out on it.
Reading between the lines makes me think of the encounters I've had with Islamic extremists.
