Asking the eugenics advocate nazi to use nicer words about disabled people is kind of pointless considering he’d probably kill them if he could.

This should be a condemnation letter, it rubs me the wrong way that this is titled as such a defanged “please stop.”

While I appreciate the cynicism around that truly absurd cliche “protecting their country,” there’s no credible evidence or even accusations linking either of these two individuals to war crimes, real or alleged.

I hope your next suggestion is as great as this one is terrible :)

Yeah this is also where I am more or less coming from. I think it’s good for it to be said in a meta post where the discussion is built for it.

This is an excellent point, added to the cons list in the body text

That’s kind of been my position too. Like I guess “people were posting low quality content” but if it’s no evidence of malice/rule breaking, what’s stopping people from just curating their feed and blocking users they see too much?

Still fifty-fifty on this for the record but I am glad there is more wholesome and constructive discussion on this still coming in :)

Valuable analysis ty

That’s an excellent point. Like, if we are going to have high-volume power users (which is an inevitability) it’s honestly arguably good and transparent for them to use single accounts that individual users can block—like at least they are known power users and it’s not being obfuscated.

I’m personally still fifty-fifty on the rule but this did sway me a bit.

Thanks for your input! It is valuable.

Re: your last paragraph. I’m literally just a third party user who was not involved in any of the conflict in any way, suggesting one potential resolution that at this point I still think could go either way.

It’s fair to assume that I was talking about myself but rest assured I have no personal investment here and my only commitment is to what is best for the community. :)

I certainly think the number of the limit is a key consideration and really makes it or breaks it.

Your comment is confusing because this is a petition post, not a rule change. I have no leadership role here. If anything changes there will most likely be internal mod communication and then an announcement post if the rule change is significant enough to merit it.

Thanks! Of course I never had any doubts about this being left up but I do find it funny the number of people who were rudely adamant that this post was impossible, impossible I tell you!

thanks OP and others for sharing the photos! evidence that people are turning out is push to make the next one even more appealing—this is already the movement’s second organized demonstration and it’s already being seen so much more across fedi than the first time! :)

there’s genuinely been some class consciousness getting into play

i saw some users from both countries compare prices of eggs and vegetables, and they even did the necessary math of accounting for average wage and cost of living. the chinese users are not allowed to talk about their politics (sadly; this is a bad thing) but they are allowed to talk about foreign politics and they are probably bigger fans of Luigi Mangione even than i have seen in English speaking social media. there are candid discussions of queerphobia as well in its different social (and for the US, political too) manifestations between countries.
