you need to reread my post. I am challenging that your statement “as a user” is putting any distance between you as mod. It carries the same weight as yelling I declare bankruptcy.

Sure, one of the bullet points is assume good faith. You said otherwise.
So much for beehaw folks assuming good intent…
Taking off your mod cap doesn’t give you the distance you think it does. You essentially contradicted the pinned mod post you made.
It’s not a bad thing at all.
Sorry, you’re misunderstanding my point. Some people don’t see the cause and effect relationship between politics and their well being. It’s not that theyre not being impacted.
Hmmm, and the third party developers are the reason they’re not profitable?
If all you have is hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Eh some people don’t realize the impact politics have, not sure it’s privilege
I wish you’d own your point of view instead of using weasel words. Do you support the respect and dignity of all people or not?

Have you even heard that they were missing before this comment?
How could anyone who’s been on beehaw in the last few days not have heard about the Pakistani migrants?
How could anyone in this thread not have heard?
We absolutely pick and choose whose lives have value.
I don’t know who you mean when you say “we”. If you mean governments and power structures then yes, I agree and it’s one of the biggest flaws in our society. If you mean individuals, then yes, some people do, but it’s wrong to do so whether it’s billionaires, migrants, or anyone else. And I know a lot of people have a hard time with this.
Disagree re: strawman, plenty of people are saying fuck the five billionaires in the sub.
Fair, let me amend…
We don’t get to pick who’s lives have value unless we want to be hypocrites and no better than “them”
This viewpoint is misguided and inhumane, I’m sorry to say. We don’t get to pick and choose who’s lives have value, even if they do something risky or stupid.
I don’t see why I should then have a huge amount of sympathy when these people inevitably die.
Ugh
beehaw: the enlightened platform where you can dehumanize people as long as youre polite and well-spoken about it
I think it’s unreasonable and a huge generalization. Tell me what the 19 year old billionaires son did to contribute to human suffering.
exactly, why isn’t this a gpl violation
Family, learning, creating
It’s not banned now (for what that’s worth)
Very much appreciate this reply 🙏
