As an aside, we recommend that all LW communities have at least two moderators so there is some redundancy in resolving reports themselves, and to reduce the workload on individual moderators.

I’d like to add that, while it’s not bad to add someone with moderating experience, you should see how many communities that person already moderates. I get asked to moderate new communities sometimes and I always have to turn them down because my voluntary workload is heavy enough as it is.

Or ambergris. Whale puke. They use it to make perfumes. Seriously.

This is what it looks like before it’s dried out:

You really can’t be honest at all. Amazing.

As always.

“Traditional Chinese medicine” would be my guess. And it may not be possible to breed them in captivity.

I admit I’ve never tried to smuggle 29 turtles into Canada, but there has to be a better way.

Pretty much. He “tells it like it is” when they agree with him and it’s a joke when they don’t. Reality is fungible for them.

There’s actually a surprising number of photos of him looking like a complete dipshit. His entire life.

Here he is at 17.

Yes, 17. Not 12.

And they just keep going from there…

People like the one I replied to apparently don’t understand basic concepts like raising tax revenue.

The U.S. could afford Medicare for All and fund Ukraine right now with some budget adjustments. The U.S. could afford a massive social safety net the likes of which the architects of the New Deal could only dream of if we just raised taxes on the wealthy.

Can you really not be honest for even one post?

Here is you lying about me saying it’s normal. In context:

Here is you lying about me saying they can’t do it. In context:

I really don’t know what you hope to gain with all of these lies.

I would assume your brain is made from a great many atoms. This creature’s brain apparently only has one.

Bloody Jerry’s gotten the better of us once again. I told them they shouldn’t use the long-delay fuses.

Look. Sometimes things get a little frisky at SquidCon. Don’t judge.

I admit I’m guilty on Lemmy of too-short paragraphs, but it’s usually more as a conversational emphasis thing. For example, I’d say something like this: "I was traveling down the road and I saw this dog. It looked back at me and we just stared at each other for a while.

Then the dog spoke."

But better short sentences separated by carriage returns than no paragraphs in my opinion.

nobody would know you were Jewish if you did not bring it up.

Yes. I am proud of my heritage. I come from an ethnicity that has faced centuries of oppression and genocide and still survived to produce me and the culture I grew up in. Why shouldn’t I bring it up?

I will repeat myself: nobody would know you were Jewish if you did not bring it up. I’m judging you by your “irrelevant” actions, not your heritage.

You’re judging me by my banning of Linkerbaan, who has accused every moderator who ever banned him of being a Zionist and just got an instance-wide ban from both Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml for constantly getting banned for violating rules, then claiming it was because of Zionist moderators.

You know, rather than judging me by the four year old Reddit screenshot that proves you’re just a liar.

Looking at the downvotes, I don’t think I was the only one who misunderstood, but thank you for clarifying. I agree. It only matters in an academic sense.

And it’s already happened in this comment section. 1 hour within me posting. Sigh.

Ah, so that’s the part we were at.

Cool.

Headline: “Christopher Columbus was Spanish and Jewish, documentary reveals”

You: “Is that supposed to explain why he was known to be an asshole?”

So if you didn’t mean being a Jew explained why he was an asshole, did you mean that being Spanish explained why he was an asshole? Because I can list plenty of non-asshole people from Spain too.

I don’t really care about your irrelevant banning gripe.

This is about Jews being accused of supporting Israel even when they regularly denounce Israel.

Which you just did.

You proved my point. Thank you.

My comment: sarcastically claiming a list of really cool people who were Jewish and definitely not assholes were actually assholes.

You: “Bernie Sanders is an asshole? Never seen him portrayed as such.”

What am I not understanding?
