  • But also, why is everybody so offended by censored words here? I don’t get it.

    The biggest reason seems to be that it will evade filters, which people set up very intentionally and specifically to keep these Fedi-spaces a safe place for them mentally.

    So, for example, someone comes here to get away from the ‘real world’ and news and whatnot, may have a filter that blocks anything with the word “Trump”, or one I actually see censored a lot more often, “Israel”

    Then someone makes a post about “Isr*el is so bad” and it sails right through their filters.












  • Yeah this reads weird… the wording sounds like “employees stealing from employers”, but the graph references things like “minimum-wage violations”, which implies “employers stealing from employees” (a form of labour value theft)…

    Yet overtime violations and rest-break violations could be people not being paid for OT or given mandated breaks, or it could be people claiming OT they didn’t work, or taking longer breaks than agreed upon ?!

    In this case I think “Data Is Confusing” may be more accurate than “Data Is Beautiful.”






  • Conservative/right-wing views have absolutely nothing to do with it in my books.

    This is a smaller community with seemingly slightly more accountability, or at a minimum, decency and respect for our fellow humans and internet citizens. The majority of the animals on reddit because behave like 10 year olds in a COD lobby - hiding behind internet anonymity to act like complete assholes, and be as rude and disrespectful as they possibly can, because they believe there will be no consequences.

    When I see someone behaving like that, seemingly unable to carry on a civil conversation, I do not hesitate to suggest that they go back to Reddit if they’re going to behave like those people. We do NOT want this community to devolve to that level. It is not a serious suggestion that they return there - it’s more so an invitation to examine their behavior, and maybe take a step back, and look at this community overall vs. that community overall, and give some consideration to maybe behaving like a mature adult instead. Spelling it out that way when dealing with those kinds of people typically just encourages them to double down though, so it gets wrapped up in that little retort instead.
