like some fucked up torture treadmill

Welcome to industrial animal agriculture. I stopped eating animal products 7 years ago. My only regret is not making this change earlier.

And before someone says "just buy from small local farms": I live in an urban area. Unless I burn gas driving all over fuck, the industrial animal ag products are what is in the stores. Easier for me to just go plant-based.

I didn’t imply any connotations.

Imply? You straight up said, and I quote "violating the consent of the members of that community."

People signed up for the content the community described. This post is not that.

Social media is never going to be 100% the content that is described in the sidebar or forum description. There's always going to be some deviation, some off-topic, and some marginal content. I didn't sign up for meta debate about whether the act of posting non-conforming content is violating people's consent or not, yet here we are.

Just because I could take various actions to prevent it in the future, doesn’t make the original action ok.

The stakes on this are super low such that actions to prevent it in the future, and the options that you have available to you, are good enough. The original action may be dubious, but it frankly isn't that big of a deal. OP didn't post something that is abusive, misinformation, or otherwise harmful. Nor have they been spamming posts here. You are spending more time worrying about it than it would have taken you to simply ignore the post and move on.

If this is truly an issue for you, you should stick to more tightly-moderated segments of social media. That may admittedly be difficult to find on Lemmy due to the lower user base; another commenter pointed out that there is only 1 active mod for this sub. You may find that the modding on some of the larger Reddit subs to be more to your liking.

Anyhow, I've said my piece and I'm moving on.

Wow, 1 active mod for a sub with this level of activity? I actually don't know what would be considered typical, but gut instinct tells me more than 1.

Where it will quickly get removed?

Apparently not that quickly. OP is shown as "15 hours ago," as of right now.

By breaking the rules of a community you are essentially violating the consent of the members of that community.

Boards like these are public or at least quasi public spaces. No one is actually forcing you to read or engage with any specific post or comment.

I would say that significant deviation from the intended content of the community is one thing. Personal attacks, intentional misinformation, arguing in bad faith, harassment, etc has no place. But claiming that OP "violated people's consent" has a serious connotation, and I think it is a real stretch to apply that here.

If the post bothers you enough, you can always report it and then simply ignore the post. Even block the OP, especially if they have a pattern of behavior that your find inappropriate.

I always liked the concept of Matrix, and still actively use it, but there’s some serious jank.

I use Element as well as Beeper, which is at its core an Element client based on network bridging. I'm a big fan of Matrix, but it isn't as approachable as other messaging services and requires some technical know-how to use effectively.

It seems like the Linux of messaging services.

Translation: how can we con men into supporting our platform, as opposed to changing our platform to be more appealing to men and younger voters in general?

Indeed, it isn't like the money paid out for UBI just goes into a black hole. Sure, some will save it. But many will spend it.

for non-work purposes

Sounds like a loophole to me!

Also: "that's it, I'm leaving this sub."

Usually in response to a post that isn't even an overall representation of the sub.

Overcast and cool. Not a fan of bright sunlight

Is there a reason the twist-to-release is better than pull-to-release?
