@AncientGood it's almost like it doesn't even matter that their a CEO, they have the same spectrum of shitbess as any other human if that's how we describe it.
@freemo I just love slowly pouring oil into fire, when I see MAGAist, I try to find good deeds of Biden, when person is Bidenaught, I try to find what Trump did good. Maybe not really ethical, but hey, this is Internet
Mostly because politic doesn't make sense for me.. like, for any CEO position any company gonna require couple universities, 100 years of experience, whole hand in other words, yet for President position all need is to be septuagenarian at least, and yell the loudest on TV? no resource management degree, no even economical college, no neither math nor statistics, no such idiocy. I feel like ~30-50 years ago a glitch happened in our simulation, the last chance we have is as humanity plea to Gods, I mean Admins*, they should read logs anyway, to save every sentient being in this universe on disk and restart simulation. I think it was buffer overflow and now total humanity IQ stays constant yet population grows exponentially
* there is a theory that this simulation super-duper-computer actually runs by Mormons
Is it unethical, sounds like they are being the unethical ones by allowing themselves to be triggered and become offensive over a matter of opinions.
I've known quite a few really good CEOs who are high school drop outs.
@admitsWrongIfProven Well thats kinda my point. The ones who deserve your time tend to get it without asking from people who see their worth. So they dont have as much of a need to ask for your time because they arent socially deprived of quality interactions.
@admitsWrongIfProven Typically its the people with the least value who want the most of your time. The reason is because they cant get anyone elses time so when they can **force** your time out of you they will, its the only way anyone will give them any time.
@admitsWrongIfProven Ha! I mean you gotta prioritize your time somehow.
@admitsWrongIfProven Ahh ok.. I mean, I dont think i have anything against him. PRetty sure I blocked him for wasting my time over some conspiracy theory nonsense with vaccines or something when he wouldnt disengage.
@admitsWrongIfProven I dont mind you asking.. im kinda curious what is going on that prompted you to ask is all.
@admitsWrongIfProven So just checked, seems he is in my block list. So seems I have disengaged with him. No clue who he is.
@admitsWrongIfProven I would take it more as a "I am bad with names".. chances are I know the guy just not by name.
Who is Jeff Cliff?
@randahl I dont distinctly remember it, but i didnt forget it. Like all i get when i look at this is a wave of nostalgia but cant recall it specifically but feels familiar.
Criticisms of vaccines in an educated way isnt a problem. I myself have criticized some choices in that regard. Namely that the vaccine was rushed through without the proper safety, which at this point it has achieved that level of safety so i no longer make that point.
That said, blatent "viruses have never been isolated" conspiracy theory stuff and generally anti-STEM posts with 0 stem value (AKA an endless stream of conspiracy theories against scientific mainstream knowledge such as viruses or flat earth nonsense) will get a response from us. That response is to check if you are a STEM professional or not and review your timeline.
In short, unless you are just spewing constant conspiracy theories and lack STEM credentials in those fields, then you will be asked to stop.
That said you'd have to take it to a pretty far extreme for it to get you a ban for sure. Simply having an opinion in a field you dont have credentials for certainly wont do it. Your entire feed needs to be a trash heap and quite obvious you are here only to exploit the academic freedom and not as a member of the STEM community.

@freemo While there have been users who "walked the line" (something I suspect they'll have a bigger issue with with Threads joining the federation, frankly, welcome to moderation in the real world), you absolutely do moderate.
I've seen servers which "do not moderate" (or not in that particular area). If you did not moderate, I would expect it to look a lot more like that.
"He rubbed me the wrong way." is weak reasoning.
There is also some weirdo who thinks that every person called "Jeff" is the same person. I even suspect he is doing this deliberately. In any case, it's a different website.
@flamingofire@freeatlantis.com
> You do not moderate, you dictate. You've banned people even though they break no rules. For what they had to say went against mainstream science at the time.
Your opinion, but regardless we arent free speech, clearly.
I had already explained when you were banned why it was against the rules. So I have little need to debate that aspect.
#universeodon is now even lying to its own users about #QOTO, and they seem to be getting the hint.
See this post: https://mastodon.acm.org/@LiveByReason@universeodon.com/111931444289540696
My full response to this was the follow:
If you are interested here are direct links so you can see my replies, he is lying about QOTO because we called him out for abusive moderation practices against his own users and now is engaging in a campaign to defame QOTO as a result.
See my reply to you herE: https://mastodon.acm.org/@freemo/111931848544933260
Also here is the original thread, that he hid from you, that promoted him to make retaliatory posts against QOTO (keep in mind i did not make this post from QOTO): https://mastodon.acm.org/@freemo/111908751487276074
Also a post of mine pointing out this was in retaliation: https://mastodon.acm.org/@freemo@qoto.org/111910018732266904
Also as a reference here is one of the many third-party administrators who stepped up to say QOTO absolutely does moderate racist: https://mastodon.acm.org/@Raccoon@techhub.social/111917501785785346
@ech I mean i literally have run public companies, and been in charge at very large companies. Me being aware of how they are run clearly isnt in question.
You seem to be the one who thinks people at every level can know about something but somehow the guy at the top is the only one who is oblivious.
Yea your bias isnt against racism, sorry, but thats some pretty big bias clearly in favor of Trump here.
I mean sure youc an say the high up wont know certain things at their company, for sure. But we are talking about something shown to be known at every level of the company, these arent the same thing.
