Just tell them that you're using a plug-in that reverses the position of the voting buttons and you forgot.

It's a janny, not a cop. It doesn't warrant a non-emoji response.

🦀

Or start identifying as votingsexual.

Even Twitter jannies are less uptight than this.

Wow, that's scary, do you think they could remove an account for upvoting abusive posts or comments? I mean, I'll be very careful next time because some people on reddit use sarcasm to push their wrong thinking and it's sometimes very hard to see that. Anyway, thanks for the heads-up and I hope everyone here keep their account safe.

Yes.

This is dumb as hell.

I honestly think I hate pink hair internet admins more than redhats now.

Welcome back.

Yeah, it's been almost 6 hours, I worried that we lost him.

Look who just joined the party😎

Missed you bae

Do you have any idea of the crap they have to put up with day in and day out? The number of attacks they get, both from inside and outside of Reddit? The hacking attempts trying to get the site shut down? The visits from the feds asking for user details? The weight on one's mind when they feel responsible for someone dying as a result of a random post (ignoring lives that are saved from other posts)? The amount of hatred they get from external news sites for allowing supposed racist and bigoted content? It does something to one's nerve.

99.9% people of people of people wouldn't last a day before they cracked. They've been going for 2 decades and they've only just surrendered within the past 5 years or so or so. I think that deserves a round of applause.

Admins are based chads.

The Red Hat Society is an international social organization that was founded in 1998 in the United States for women age 50 and beyond, but now open to women of all ages. Its main purpose is to provide women with opportunities for pleasant social interaction, both for reconnecting with old friends and making new ones.

imagine voting

Imagine bussy. 😍🥰

YOU HAVE LIKED SUS CONTENT RED ALERT RED ALERT

Is this related to superstraight stuff? I got a 3 day suspension for something similar

I was upvoting the fuck out of SS content so I'm surprised I didn't catch one

I doubt it. Half of this sub would receive that notification...

How dare you give internet points to the wrongthink! Maybe next time you'll think hard before you silently give internet points to a post that the lily white BIPOC of AHS disagree with!

I think it is pretty clear what kind of content they want people to avoid. It's mainly the fault of morons who are so petty that they go online spew their bullshit. Why do you thing these communities get shutdown? I think it is a good think. Losers like that should be shunned IRL and online. Even this community. This is a place for drama yet people post clearly agenda post.

I'll bet you downvote the lolcows too, huh? Keep yourself safe!

Seethe

This is a place for drama yet people post clearly agenda post.

There won't be any drama if Reddit wrongthink is wiped off the site.

I don't think it is about wrong think. Like people should have absurd opinions and and should be allowed to ridicule them for it. The problem is people that have hateful opinions. That requires little thinking if any.

The problem is that all kinds of shit can be spun as "hateful" by politically minded people.

No it can't. People are not that stupid. Read a court docket on something like harassment, slander, or even hate speech in a country that has those laws. People use this stupid argument because most are two pathetic to have good manners and just be decent. People that spew hatred should be shunned. I digress this is a good thing.

What world have you been living in? Someone trying to point out anything about traans women in sports that isn't absolute acceptance gets immediately labeled as a bigot and hateful. Plenty of scholars and journalists (like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi) have been thrown under the hate bus because they didn't toe the line on certain subjects.

I'm not denying the existence of hateful behavior. I'm saying that a lot more than just hateful shit would get swept under that umbrella if such absolutism were implemented in the US.

Your outright dismissal is absurd.

I can't speak on the journalists but your initial point yeah that would be perfectly fine. But some asshole promoting violence intolerance is not.

See the problem here is you want to lump in degenerates with people that have an intelligent opinion on something, something that says hey we should look at this. Conversation like that is fine. Being an asshole for the sake of one is not

promoting violence and disinformation is not.

I stick to my initial point.

the problem here is you want to lump in degenerates with people that have an intelligent opinion on something, something that says hey we should look at this.

No, I'm saying that people acting in bad faith or just politically aggressive lump them together to silence opinions they do not like.

Makes no sense. If you want to waste your time pretending to be the other side so you get an IP ban go ahead. Now it's shifting to bad faith this or that. Like how would that even happen? Like look at trump morons, plenty of people on both sides have shunned them, but these morons stick together. No one who wants decency will want to rub shoulders with one that does not. Makes no sense. It also goes against the principle of having discussion if people engage you in bad faith. Most people that I'm thinking of are exactly like this. Their beliefs are set in stone and they just want to spew their toxic rhetoric.

Like how would that even happen?

...AHS runs concerted campaigns to get shit they don't like booted off the site.

Brigading is against the rules as is this conduct.

I don't speak emoji

No doubt. You burgers are notorious for being shit at all forms of communication other than yeeehaw and wokescolding.

You need to learn some manners boy

😧😧😧

You gonna learn today.

How “troublesome”! cried the liberal pig, which deems itself educated, but in fact is dirty, repulsive, overfat and smug...

― V. I. Lenin. 'Yet Another Anti-Democratic Campaign', Pravda, Nos. 24 and 25 (2 and 9 September 1912)

Holy fuck this is me.

Lenin don't miss... 😎

I meant the quote. Not the quoter. Gonna be honest didn't even read who it was from. Now I did.

I know, did you think I was comparing you to Lenin? 😂🤣😂

Initally know, but then when you said Lenin, I was like WTF.

What conduct?

I am confused they go to a sub they don't like, than what?

Mass report submissions. It draws admin attention to the subreddit in question.

Okay. So than the admins go there and ban them, well why would they ban them? is it a TOS violation?

IIRC LoveForLandlords has been banned before and then unbanned. I'm still not quite sure how they violated the ToS.

If they did then they deserve a ban,. Better example is the Donald. People brigading, discussing violence, ect. There other shit to. I think we can agree we can discuss Ideas but there is some dumb shit people do on here. These are the people to shun. Zero value

I never disagreed with you that there were genuine shitheads. My point was that the standards for hate speech are very subjective. In a German legal system you'd have professional judges determining the basis of legal accusations, but within the sphere of social media you have a bunch of low-paid or unpaid people having to exercise precise legalistic judgement on the basis of a vague ToS.

All right dude now where running around in circles. Generally speech laws are broad because itis subjective. Those subs got banned because they clearly where a threat to society and a business threat to read. And you have point to courts, judges suck, but that is a good system because other places you dont even get a shot. Anywyas agree to disagree goodnight.

like Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi

As someone that followed GGs career for decades his fall from grace has been delicious, especially since the Edward Snowden thing should've absolutely buried him though most of the media bought his bullshit and are completely illiterate in NetSec issues and didn't even follow up with his supposed "real evidence he totally had but you haven't seen it it lives in Canada." GG has always been a hack.

Taibbi started going on the offensive when his buddy Gavin went all 1488 and inserting things in his rectum with shocking ease.

When did Snowden's revelation become a bad thing? I think he was a bit of a tool b/c he basically just did a smash-and-grab of a bunch of data and then fucked off to Russia, but he finally dragged the NSA'a shit into the public spotlight.

Oh man this story is great but in NetSec circles he was immediately panned because experts were well aware of the failures of the Total Information Awareness programme of the early 2000s... But his twist was that he had proof that the alphabet soup agencies essentially had back door access to RSA encryption which you know freaked a lot of NetSec professionals because holy fuck that'd literally ruin the internet.

Once the dust settled they found the two big programmes that Snowden "exposed" were actually pretty well known and completely legal, albeit not widely known by their internal names. PRISM for example was simply a standardization processes for tech companies to comply with lawful court orders. Once he and GG were confronted about this they changed their story that what they produced was only a sample and they promised to publish the super serious and super evidence of malfeasance.

Turns out Snowden may have been selling toolkits to very bad people (possibly even X-Agent the worm that stole the DNC/RNC emails in 2016) and used Americans not undeserved knee jerk reaction to surveillance overreach to kick up enough dust to abscond to hk then Russia.

This is the one time where I see a wall of text and know that I'm in for something good, rofl.

I tried to broad stroke best I could but the real story gets far more fucking insane, literally Robert Hansen levels of espionage and intelligence seep, allegedly but very convincingly.

OK, where the fuck did you find this stuff? This is gold.

NetSec is one of the spectra of my job, and a huge passion for me. But for prism program it didn't do what he claimed in interviews, or even what the evidence he supplied stated:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/06/12/heres-everything-we-know-about-prism-to-date/

Reporting by the New York Times and CNet offers some clues about how PRISM works.

The Times says that major tech companies have systems that "involve access to data under individual FISA requests. And in some cases, the data is transmitted to the government electronically, using a company’s servers."

Data is "shared after company lawyers have reviewed the FISA request according to company practice. It is not sent automatically or in bulk," the Times reports. The scheme is "a more secure and efficient way to hand over the data."

A source told CNet's Declan McCullagh that PRISM is "a very formalized legal process that companies are obliged to do." A source — perhaps the same one — says that "you can't say everyone in Pakistan who searched for 'X' ... It still has to be particularized."

In fact hacker news boards eviscerated him far worse than I could do here.

Where can I find the netsec discussions, though?

I was using hacker news a lot back then and that's where the fucking nerds dunked hard on him as he his claims. Used to be a lot of guys that never claimed to be alphabet agency but... You knew based on their bitching habits. Honestly now yarrr NetSec is my go to because when shit posting happens there is god tier.

Usenet was the best while it lasted before the Google take over.

I'm disappointed in you blueballing me on the details but I appreciate you exposing me to this legit hot take.

Sorry about amp, and while I'm aware of his own issues Schindler here is on point and scratches the surface.

Np for AMP, it's a plague. Ty for the link.

Not only is the article scathing, should really drive into the links. The case against him is damning

You've already piqued my interest, bruv.

If you could pull a switch and get rid of the emotion of hate forever in all humans for all eternity, would you do it?

Or do you think it's served (or is serving) any kind of purpose?

This is a really good question. However my perspective is different to begin with hate is not an emotion anger is. Hate is the extreme, where emotion becomes a state of mind. Hate is irrational. So yes I would get rid of hate.

Could you say then that hate is anger over time? So that if you feel anger at something for a length of time (say 24 hours), then that becomes hate?

I tend to think of constant, lingering anger as hatred.

Hatred is irrational. Anger is not.

I tend to think of constant, lingering anger as hatred or bitterness, something which everyone is guilty of, even towards their closest friends/family sometimes.

Yes you are correct. Perhaps bitterness is the extreme of jealousy. Jealousy is also useful to us.

However. I have to be honest I come here for drama, not deep convo's. I'm sorry friend but I don't want to continue this further.

No worries, PM me if you want to continue the convo!

So I'll say this time plays a role I agree. You can act on your anger immediately, or it can come later after learning something or failing to act. There is a point though where the anger is irrational. You've heard the term rent free in your head. That is the point. Good convo. Goodnight dude.

Hey here's a thing you can use to show you like something, STOP LIKING THOSE THINGS!

The bullied have taken over, and they are incapable of not being pathetic.

Are you share this glorious post with us or what?

This is usually the beginning of the end

What’ll happen is you’ll continue to get these “warnings” at least twice every week. Then around the 5th week, you get a 3 day suspension for “upvoting a post or comment”. What happens then is whenever the 3 day suspension is up, you receive another about an hour later, locking your account in a suspension loop. Eventually, the loop will end and you’ll just get permabanned.

It’s like reddit infecting you with a cancer, putting your account on a timer. As for why they do it? Who knows.

As for why they do it?

IPO babyyyy 😎😎😎

whenever the 3 day suspension is up, you receive another about an hour later

Is this something that actually happens?

Happened to one of my old alts

Wait, it's my fault for upvoting a no no comment, not theirs for not doing their jobs and removing it?

Oi, you got a license for that upvote?

Reddit 2021

how do i get one of these? i upvote crazy shit all the time, their system must be terrible

Do better. You clearly didn't get on gigajannies radar enough yet.

I received an admin "hate" warning for simply QUOTING salt from another sub (usernames blanked out). I wasn't pro or anti either side.

End times my 'nauts.

lmao I never even thought about some of the quotes used here thinking it's obvious that it's a quote from whatever dumb shit is being linked in the OP. jfc

In case it's vamoosed, you can probably use reveddit to see how innocuous it was. I did not deserve that message :(

Hate hate hate

They've outsourced their admining to the Phillipines or something and basically given them a list of words to ban people for I got a 3 day'er for quoting pulp fiction

I wasn't sure what the issue was, then I realized you got this for upvoting something, not just commenting. Holy shit

I was giving a warning for "spreading hate" in a Drama thread I hadn't even participated in.

I can feel the chadmins circling closer and closer. The end is nigh my sweet little r-slurs.

the secret is to only participate in loser subreddits that dont attract attention
