@antares haha, i think youll be fine ;)
Honestly being on a few block lists is a sign you are doing right by your users. The only way you coukd stay off blocklists is to be very abusive to your own community for the sake of appeasi g other admins.
@antares how coukd tellibg them privately in any way be unethical?
@flexghost hmm i dont think i coukd support a company getting taxed more simply for being big. Though im not ready to say there isnt a problem here either, id need to look into it more to form an opinion.
I will say economies at scale does make food production far more efficient so in and of itself probably isnt sonethibg we want to discourage outright, but it can be problematic in other ways too.
Yes it would be nice if the op gave actual numbers to justify their one-sidism.
I can think of plenty if awful billionairs who are repiblican but for every one i can think of a democrat billionaire too. More over we are talki g oligarchies, which isnt limited to money, anyone in power is game.
Also for every rich republican i can think of probably 10 rich people in entertainment who are also democrats.
@rbreich dont think for a second the oligarchies arent fubding the democrats to the same extent. Why we are talkibg about Trump and not Biden in thisnpost is very telling. If Trump were still president, sure. But he is the past and we have a new, democrat, in office who was elected by oligarchies, lets focus on the now.
@dstephenlindsay yea there is a certain coolness from the fact that im looking at my own organs.
Outside is the last place they shoukd go... people can actually punch you in the face out there instead of just imagining it.
@ClaraListensprechen@universeodon.com
I agree with everyone else, you rock, keep up the good fight.
Yea there is some truth to that... but i think in todays world, at least in america and the uk, people are lookibg for reasons to be offended. Being offended is how people tell themselves they are doing good things.
I wish that were true. It may work for a while when your small but that doesnt hokd true for long.
I think you misubderstood. Im saying everyone will treat you like the bad guy. Im not tryibg to imply it is deserved.
As the admin you will always be the bad guy no matter what you do. I think you were more considerate than most admins woukd be.
