This is true, but on the other hand, no one can really interrupt you typing, and reading is faster than listening, so depending on the group it may still be more efficient.

They would care if a large enough group stopped paying taxes. But good luck getting +10 million Americans to actually take a stand for what they believe in.

Yeah I’ll just unsubscribe thanks, I don’t wanna be a member of a community that’s so authoritarian. Now I just have to figure out how to keep it from showing up in All…

Oh. That’s really shitty. So this community is protecting bots, huh?

Definitely lawful neutral behavior, not chaotic good.

Edit: typed wrong alignment

Not that guy, but, uhh, where? Looked for it, cannot find it.

Oh, across the broader population you’re absolutely correct. In that initial comment, I was referring to the users here on lemmy. Sorry, “we” can be rather ambiguous.

They printed a rebuttal to that in one of the punisher comics.

“Kill two”

Disliking someone less is not the same as liking them.

“it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.” - Douglas Adams

Whoa, whoa, you think there are politicians that we like?

There are a lot more cats than just the bakaneko.

To be fair, that guy was a giant asshole.

I like your strong language rule. But rule 6 is such a vague catch-all that it basically says “the mods will remove anything they don’t like, at any time, with no warning”

Which seems kinda fucked.

Nah I’m confused because I did read it. The sidebar for world news says that this is rule 3

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

Which doesn’t even make sense to apply to a comment.

And says that this is rule 6

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

(I was jokingly accusing you of violating rule 6 because the removed comment could maybe be said to violate that one. It’s a bit of a stretch but at least plausible.)

So still kinda confused because you quoted a different rule 6.

My apologies, saw the wrong list of rules. My mistake.

Though I never stated or implied that anyone was banned.

Where can the correct rules be viewed? If I look at the rules for this community, the numbers don’t line up. And searching for lemmy.world rules doesn’t give any useful results.

Looked in the modlog. Doesn’t seem like that violated rule 3. Seems like you violated rule 6. Gonna ban yourself?

Edit: crossed out the bit where I was wrong, but left it for context
