Still won’t help you get around a permaban if that’s what you’re thinking. Can’t think of another reason why you’d want to buy one.

This dude thinks he’s a Vulcan lol

Nah, just the few naive folks who think a handful of good mods makes up for the horde of insanely toxic ones. The percentage of crap Reddit mods is so high the role shouldn’t even exist. Perfect use of AI.

Reddit mods are some of the absolute worst people at their role of literally any role in existence. I’ll die on that hill and take all of your downvotes. They destroyed Reddit way before Spez made it official.

That’s why it’s in quotations

Reddit mods are one of the few “jobs” that I’m perfectly fine with AI replacing. There’s absolutely no way AI could do a worse job than what’s already being done.

If we don’t get a Picard covering his face with his hand in shame I’ll revolt lol

I actually disagree on the majority. As someone who grew up in the Christian south I’m well aware of the misguided beliefs people can have but a majority of religious practitioners are not extremists and are much more malleable on individual topics and beliefs than many in the atheist community would care to accept - I say this as someone who considered themselves an atheist for a time but stopped when I realized religion has many benefits when used as a tool and any community, including atheists, is prone to having toxic extremism that makes the whole seem worse than it is. Take Islam for example, there are two major divisions of Islam, Sunni and Shia, and most people in the west think the extremist views of the Shia are what most Muslims believe but in all actuality they only make up about 15% of Muslims. The extremists are what get attention, not the majority of folks that use their religion and culture as a tool for living lives they think are good, beneficial or fruitful.

Thank you, some of the most toxic content in the fediverse comes from there and am happy that this server’s experience will be better now.

As a Taoist, I don’t believe in any deity and my beliefs boil down to letting people be who they are meant to and want to be and supporting them as much as I can in their personal journeys. That’s not an outdated or childish belief system. You’re conflating Abrahamic religions and mysticism with all religion and you don’t seem to have invested much time in understanding religion as a tool and concept outside of those areas.

Respecting people’s cultures and religion boils down to respecting people - if you believe that people shouldn’t be generally respected then your views are no more developed than that of a selfish child and you are the thing you’re complaining about.

I’ve lived all over the US as well and can safely say the proportion of assholes is about the same in every state. Generalizations like this are just ignorant.

Usage data that profiles your political leanings and in turn allows them to counter adjust your feeds to make you more sympathetic to said nations views, or even more maliciously, incite artificial political discourse. Profiles made from usage data could also be used to determine individuals who have access to sensitive information which could be made into phishing campaign targets. Or even further, these profiles could be used to monitor and keep tabs on western individuals visiting the country or even monitor Chinese individuals abroad.

I feel like you have to be willfully ignorant to ignore the very real risks that exist here.

OP really can’t grasp why a malicious foreign power having so much data and influence is bad.

Never been more glad that I don’t follow shitposters or shitpost communities. Can’t believe that community is as big as it is anyway considering how annoying shitposting is.

Sam the cooking guy is around 3.5M and I think he’s pretty underappreciated too.

Man this truly is an unpopular opinion. Curious, what anime does someone who thinks the best anime there is sucks actually think is good?

That’s the most straw man argument I’ve seen in a while.

Maybe take a step back and think about how using nazi analogies when discussing meat eaters is counterproductive to your beliefs and frigging offensive to large swaths of the global population who were affected by nazis. Those two things are not comparable and you need to do some self education if you think that’s okay or persuasive.

You’re doing the thing that creates the opposite world you wanna live in again.

Some people really think being a good example of the product of their beliefs and being obnoxiously obtuse and argumentative about their beliefs are equally effective at persuading others to think like them.

I can tell you no person ever in the history of humanity was convinced by the latter.
