1·6 days agoInteresting. Might be cool if Lemmy allowed mods to apply a NSFW tag that only a mod our admin could remove.

The Ayes have it.
OP, when the body is taken into account you have positioned this post essentially as a leading question/rage bait. AskLemmy is intended for genuinely open-ended, thought provoking questions. For example, “What might be some viable alternatives to prison/policing”. Please update your question to be less leading and more open-ended and thought provoking.
Edit: Sigh, I tried. Not an open ended question. Locking.
OP, please clarify the question.
Rule 5. Locking. Edit unlocking subject to rewording.
These things are especially evil in Australia where consumer protections are stronger and usually exceed the stated warranty.
I’ve had this conversation many times:
“Can I interest you in an extended warranty with that?”
“No thanks, it’s no better than consumer protection”
“Fair enough. Had to ask”
Make the temporary ban on US Politics in AskLemmy into a permanent community rule.

Do you have any references for this?

153·13 days agoThe nuances on this issue are challenging. On the one hand, there are those that simply see the murder as being abhorrent. On the other, there are those who see it simply as being comeuppance. I believe the issue is one coming out of deep seated and wide-spread resentment at structural inequality and in many cases, personal stories of suffering caused by the failure of the existing system. The victim was a key player in that system, but he was also a human being with children.
A key function of social media is to provide a space for debate about social issues, and to facilitate discussions about how we can collectively build a better future. The challenge for moderators is to try to find a line between extremes that balances conflicting perspectives in a way that respects the community, and I believe the intent of the fediverse to be free from corporate control of discussion. In terms of rules, the key sentence in the ToS seems to be “We do not tolerate serious threats or calls for violence.”
I would suggest that:
- comments/posts that actively call for violence should be removed. e.g. “Someone should shoot all CEO’s”.
- comments/posts that more reflect a dissatisfaction with the system should not. e.g. “He contributed to untold suffering. I’m not surprised someone took matters into their own hands.”
OP, can you please edit your question to make it clearer. Remember, open-ended and thought provoking.
Not an open-ended question. Locking.
