Live feed of the best moderator on the internet, straight into your veins.

Here's todays official post from the BARDCHIVE:

03/17/15 01:04:30 with a score of -17: https://old.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/2zb9h3/buddy_fletcher_who_is_married_to_the_ceo_of/cphfq42/?context=8

I'm talking about The Karpman Drama Triangle.

This entire thing is KotakuInAction staging their public production of "Ellen Pao Is A Corrupt Feminist SJW In League With SJW Moderators To Cleanse The Defaults Of G*mergate".

They cast You, the Public, as The Victims who are Being Kept In The Dark And Censored.

They cast Themselves as The Victims who are Being Censored.

They cast SJW FEMINIST MODERATORS as The Persecutors.

------ ask yourself this question:

WHAT ACTUAL REAL SOLUTION IS BEING PROPOSED FOR THIS SUPPOSED CENSORSHIP BY THE CONCERNED MOB?

Is it to make a subreddit where they can discuss things without censorship? Is it to make reasoned arguments about exactly where and how the moderation rules of the defaults are destroying actual vital discussion? Is it to point out where Pao has caused actual harm?

No. These things would be too much work. There'd be too much effort involved in running a subreddit, and attracting an audience, and tightening up a group of moderators, and establishing a governing body for the subreddit to ensure transparency and journ*listic credibility. Too much.

Instead — ah, instead:

We get shitty robotic voices reading a vague complaint about the CEO's spouse, that could just be put in motherfricking text, in order to skirt the rules of /r/videos by technically being a video.

There are no solutions offered. There is no action outlined. There is only the call:

"Let's raise awareness of this!".

Raise awareness of what? That these idiots keep toeing the line of the rules set by the people running subreddits? That they perpetuate their victimhood by purposefully breaking rules so they can claim they're being persecuted?

It's a giant G*merGate-as-victim psychodrama circlejerk.

NGL I was really confused by this in my inbox b/c I'd flushed this convo from my cache

Let me back up to "I know from a trusted, reliable source" w/r/t Aurora in specific.

Let me further assert that I have come to trust the millions who report and record such incidents as kneeling on necks and constant arrests for "solicitation" predicated on being a woman of colour on a sidewalk after dark, Over the assertion of "if that were true, where is the proof?", which has become a trite, denialist cliche.

In short, it speaks volumes that you came back after a month to "Nuh uh" me.

Live up to your name. Shake off thought terminating cliches and embrace the life of the mind

Hey,

Just a head's-up,

I was on the team at r slash witchcraft when a certain troll website's users decided that mass hexing the moon would be a good prank, something to wring for lolz

The entire point of me being there was to spot and shut down those kinds of things, but -

And so now I get to be the voice that says "imagine what the trolls will do with this", just in case someone realises a real showstopper reason to not do … this.

I have an ulterior motive for raising a flag, too, which is that prayers for harm (if such are intended by "hex") are not my style; "Heal their hearts" is _right there_

Many of you are too young to remember, but more than a decade ago, the most hated Republican in office - hated by Democrats and Republicans alike - was Ted Cruz.

I sincerely hope we finally shed power off Ted Cruz this election cycle

Not really. He did things that anyone in a position of power should be impeached over.

The stupidity is that Republicans are never held to that proper standard

I always encourage subreddits to recruit more human moderators. Someone should check the mod queue a few times a day.

I've seen a few very badly flagged collisions on Reddit (trans people who get flagged as transmisics).

The ultimate problem is that these collisions undermine the ability to trust the labels.

The secondary problem, but the very practical and more immediate problem: the system can out closeted trans people, or woodworked trans people, which is currently a practical threat to life / health / safety.

It should be replaced.

There's also a technical problem with the hashing algorithm in the Bloom Filter implementation it uses; it has an order of magnitude more false positives (hash collisions) than it ought to have, so there are occasional accounts that are marked transphobic or trans friendly for no reason other than their account designation, when hashed, collided with an already present entry.

Because of the weakness of the hashing algorithm, it's also feasible to brute force / compute account names that collide on the desired table, giving them cover or infamy.

SE was useful but needs to be superseded by other methods

I am certain you do not wish to argue that several years ago you assaulted me at Tanglewood Forest. Several of your fellow company members have chased me and thwapped me with Amtgard -legal boffer weapons on Company Road while I was making announcements on behalf of Kingdom Officers.
