Just a head’s up. Rule 1 and 2 will be used against you. Apparently all the other, ACTUALLY violent, and ACTUALLY racist, shit, is fine, but not that.
So “thanks”, Dom. Being exactly the type of janny we thought you were. 👎
Such fucking bullshit, and you know it.
Well, this was entertaining to read, if nothing else...
That ain't a riot. Not in this country, and not in the US, either... Not after "mostly peaceful", last year, certainly...
In slight seriousness, can you Temp ban me? Might do us both some good.
But no, I can do that myself. I've had enough of all this, for a while. It's making me look even more mad than I probably am...
Even the guy who was agreeing with you called it a riot: https://kotakuinaction2.win/p/13zMs9HcYP/aus-riots-check-out-the-female-r/c/
What the law calls a riot in the US is very small. Basically any amount of public disorder in a group of people can be declared a riot.
Here's one from New York State:
And no, I'm not going to just temp ban you, you didn't do anything to warrant that. That would be ridiculous.
Anyway, it's nice to have a (largely) reasoned discussion with you, rather than "Lalala fuck off, we don't like you. Mute", like my experience on Reddit (not KIA2. I mean generally).
I'll give you that much.
My daily life consists of being yelled at and berated, so... This is somewhat of a nice change of pace, I have to say.
For what it's worth, my experience as an outside observer of the moderation on both versions of kia2 is they do a lot of CYA style post removals for things that could be uncharitably considered incitement. But they appear to be very light on the ban hammer, even with the trolls, grifters and spammy weirdos. Of course it's hard to say really who's been banned, but some familiar faces have been around for a long time despite a somewhat antagonistic relationship with mod(s).
As for the post removal, it's kind of a pain but pretty much nothing is off limits with a little care for the phrasing, which is always good practice on a public forum anyway. Posting like you expect it to be read by a cop and used out-of-context against you in court one day is a good contingency if you're in the habit of opposing big brother authoritarians. For example I bet if you'd posted or reposted the same article with something like "It's finally happening" instead of "we did it" in the title, it wouldn't have been removed as potentially accidentally incriminating.
Stop being so reasonable in the middle of a flame war.
I definitely want to avoid that unless I'm dealing with purely bad faith actors.
You're clearly not, and you're passionate about saving your country from Fascism which is 100% admirable and justified.
Yeah, true that. Unfortunately I think it might be a bit late to “save” this place, though. We’re completely fucked.
I’m really just counting down the days until I can get out... Or something.
It’ll be nigh on two years of this, by the time that may even be remotely possible. Hence the frustration. And I was already, as I’ve pointed out, fairly fucking pissed off with things, even before all this...
Eh, I'm not giving you the "riot" thing...
But fair, re the ban. I guess, as we've all reminded ourselves today, this place IS NOT Reddit.
And I do appreciate this place as a distraction from some pretty... Dark shit, in my own life, right now. Should just probably step back from it, for a time, though.
It's healthy to do that whenever you need to.
We'll still be here when you get back!
*as in mentally unstable.
We all already know I'm far, far too angry about things. But I'm not overly worried about that being completely obvious.
