Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
A little bit of feedback for you (please take this as gentle ribbing and nothing more): I would have left this lib unbanned long enough to see the response to my comment and, more succinctly/clearly the comment by Babs below. Because I think we (especially Babs, actually) really got to the root of the "misunderstanding" (it well might have been intentional, that's what I want to know!). And I would have been curious to see their response, because I want to know if they were actually being obtuse on purpose (likely) or if it was an honest misunderstanding (unlikely). But now because our hexbear mods are so online and ban-happy (again, I mean this in a friendly way, I'm usually glad you're online and ban-happy), we will never know, and I'm a little sad about that. (That last little bit is 100% sincere, I really would have liked to see how the lib would have responded to me, but mostly Babs, because her comment says what I was trying to say, but better.)
Yeah I do sometimes wish we had a bit more time to play with them but either way works for me
Fair enough, noted. I'll keep the educational potential in mind a bit more.
If he was being intentionally obtuse (likely) I wanted to drag that out of him. With patient explanations.
