@SrRochardBunson Because taxes were taken by an entity that did nothing to earn it. Meanwhile the "value you produce" is due to someone providing me the resources and taking the risk to enable me to produce that value, of which I share it with them...
@raymondlesley We have no such rules on gore or injury, CQ is only required for NSFW content (nudity) and movie spoilers. Both of which are due to practical reasons, not tendency to offend.
But unlike spoilers and nudity I cant think of a practical reason we should hide all images of firearms. Its not damaging for it to show up on your screen in some settings (as with the other stuff). It seems (correct me if im wrong) the main reasoning is "I dont like to see it". Im not sure thats a good criteria. Its also important to remember why most people who support gun freedoms post this stuff, to normalize it. So putting it behind a CW would defeat much of the reason we share this in the first place.
@raymondlesley I dont think your understanding the question... what guidlines shoukd one use to decide if somethibg shoukd be marked sensative. You suggest images of guns be one of the things I mark sensative. I am willing to consider that.. the question is why and how woukd that logic apply to other things? Whats the logical criteria we are applying here.
@raymondlesley I am not resistsnt to the idea. I am tryi g to figure out the logic here.. what sorts of things do you feel shoukd be marked sensative by someone wishing to set a good example?
@frayoshi he may have. Seems cheap if he did.
@frayoshi he already owned thr domain since he started paypal though...
@ceoln short reviews are common, so i expect some repeating. As a customer i may not bave even noticed honestly.
@raymondlesley I cant predict which content someone will like and what they wont. I also cant expect everyone to like 100% of my posts.
That said I want yuou to enjoy your experience here. For that reason I try to be very consistent in how I use hash tags on my post so you can use that to filter your feed as you wish.
If you think this is something that the whole instance should try to avoid, we can discuss a new rule, what did you have in mind?
@frayoshi hmm good to note. ill see if next version fix\es it
@ceoln Fraud is usually a numbers game. Chances are they never once made a sale at that level but are hopeful. They probably engage in smaller scale fraud that does make money.
What I find odd is how they have 8K + people who are almost all good reviews.
@raymondlesley Are you suggesting the instance shouldnt allow non-stem topics being posting in the plain? Im confused, what new rule are you proposing?
@freemo Thankfully I was a good child who took their amphetamine.
1) Anyone, including whites (non-natives) can start petitions on lakotalaw.
2) The use of a hashtag is likewise not an indicator
While you may be able to find some native somewhere that finds this offensive, neither of the two points you indicate in anyway suggestive of that and I assure you, the overwhelming majority of native americans arent worried about mascots. In fact we are happy to hear our culture is appreciated enough to be embodies in mascots as a symbol for others.
@anna_lillith As a proud native american I can say with confidence, neither me, nor the vast majority of Native Americans find this offensive. Obviously while there is plenty of racism worth focusing on this is not where white peoples focus should be, focus on the deplorable conditions at reservations and mistrestment of sacred land instead of wasting your time on stuff like this.
Thanks for caring though, but no thanks.
