While it's probably true

This is how Bardfinn accuses you of being a liar while also not. This is the "left jab" before the "right hook."

Repeating:

While it's probably true that many employees knew that they were changing access terms for the Reddit API as of 40 days ago,

Here is where he acknowledges a degree of specificity, but really he's just trying to tell you that he's "in the know."

it's also very true

Here comes that "right hook." Here is where Bardfinn drop the pretense and directly makes an accusation of lying, by pointing out what he thinks is a contradiction.

it's also very true that many of those changes have plausible business cases for why they're necessary.

I'll repeat this part. "Plausible business cases" is bardfinn-speak for "reddit is lying to us."

it's also very true that many of those changes have plausible business cases for why they're necessary. Reddit can / has / will likely continue to justify that less than 2% of moderation activity was done via modqueues through third party apps.

I guess this means that Reddit jannies, having lost their favorite 3rd party apps, continue to do 98% of their moderation actions through the official reddit mobile app or the desktop site(s).

What they cannot weasel away from

This is the point bardfinn wants to make by connecting his weaselwords and BAD FAITH PREMISE.

WHILE IT'S PROBABLY TRUE, ITS ALSO VERY TRUE, THEY CANNOT WEASEL AWAY FROM

(((OH BOY HERE IT COMES)))

is that they were simultaneously running usage experiments that blocked logged-in users — including moderators — from accessing their login sessions via mobile browser,

Because that's an admin saying flatly exactly that they were running an experiment to do just that

There we have it.

Reddit is conducting illegal human research experiments.

Hey there;

We unfortunately cannot accept this post —

Though I am very certain that your intent is to urge people to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights,

The language in which that is couched can also be read as an Invitation to Treat for a transaction involving firearms or ammunition, and such invitations to treat and transactions are not allowed by Reddit Sitewide Rules.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Counterpoint:

Today, 10% of the world's population is left handed.

In the mid-1800's, that was 2%.

I'm trans.

In 1989, I was "0% trans", solely because there was a specific ontology available to me and my therapist that explained why I dreamt of wearing dresses, picking flowers, being a girl — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anima_and_animus

At the time, academic understanding of and awareness of transgender existence was suppressed by evolution denialist, cisheteronormative experts who imposed their own views and values on therapy, instead of affirmative and supportive therapy. It was also suppressed by the fact that Christian bigots harassed and were violent towards LGBT people, and by the fact that science about trans people was destroyed by the Nazis in the 1930's.

I grew up in a culture that literally did to me what The Matrix does to humans in the movie, The Matrix — treat people who don't fit in to the prescribed ontology as enemies and glitches to be eliminated.

Whether a trans kid needs or doesn't need therapy, of any kind, is a decision that is best handled by people who have a fiduciary duty to that child — parents, guardians, judges, doctors — with the understanding that the child owns their life, and has the right to medical care.

To get drug intervention, minors have to go through an average of three years of continuous therapy beforehand. Often it involves the therapy being cleared by the order of a judge. Those therapies are reversible puberty blockers — that then put the child through, on average, 2.5 years more of waiting.

Finally — this discussion about whether or not medical therapies for trans children are or are not appropriate, isn't something that is properly a question for debate by the general public —

Whether a trans kid needs or doesn't need therapy, of any kind, is a decision that is best handled by people who have a fiduciary duty to that child — parents, guardians, judges, doctors — with the understanding that the child owns their life, and has the right to medical care.

Accepting it as appropriate for public debate simply accepts the premises of anti-LGBTQ bigots, who want medical decisions made by law and politicians, instead of science and doctors.

Which cedes ground to anti-LGBTQ terrorists.

So this thread is being locked.

If it's in another subreddit, that's between them, the subreddit moderators, and the reddit admins — not you

Help them by directing them to the Reddit Moderator Code of Conduct, and tell them that if they reasonably believe the mods of the other subreddit are violating sitewide rules, the user agreement, or moderator code of conduct, they can file a complaint.

And then, very importantly,

thank them for their concern and wash your hands of the affair

Troll / chaos actor groups who spent 2015-2022 making moderators' lives miserable are still around, still finding ways to draw moderators into doing things as pretexts to get them mobbed / dogpiled / admin-actioned.

If it's a question about how another subreddit handles their moderation (short of "this subreddit is clearly asking people to harass my audience / me / break reddit") — that's beyond your power to know, your power to do anything about it.

If another mod team is perpetually muting one or a half dozen accounts — there may be a reason they do that.

If they're perpetually muting all banned accounts - that's probably just antagonistic trolling.

Either way, it's between the banned users, the mod team, and Reddit.

Don't touch the glue trap.

His trans child filed paperwork in court to permanently change her name and dissociate herself from Elon - she walked away from him, his money (any inheritance he offered was probably attached to "you have to stop this") and his power.

He's angry because he's a misogynist White Identity Extremist autocrat whose children hate him and his ideals. So he's making everyone else miserable in revenge
