What's wrong with the pillows? I only have one (+ my SO has 1, but those two are not stacked)

Dang... The author realized an actual problem / inconvenience people had, and somehow went on to think "I know! I'll have a random nonsense generator make up the data! That's a great solution!"

The original Lego Racers. Works really well on the deck, is Lego themed, and is just an all-round fun game.

Child-me spent countless hours with it, adult-me beat it in under 2 hours. Fair warning though: the title screen song will get stuck in your head

Hm? I have never been a mod of anything :)

Not that I know of! Anyways, for no self-motivated reasons whatsoever, I think your cats have cool names :P

I mean... "To fear"? No. But There are plenty legitimate to remove comments and posts that have nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, to do with mod overreach or censorship.

  • removing derailing threads from heated discussions
  • removing the annoying "just asking questions" people from LGBTQ+ safe spaces
  • removing posts accidentally posted into the wrong community
  • removing troll posts
  • banning repeat troublemakers not willing to follow the rules
  • removing aggressive, sexist, racist,... posts

On the other hand, anti-moderation people only ever seem to come up with "but I want to be able to post whatever I want!"

"Free speech" in this context means: you can go create your own instance or community, with blackjack and hookers! And mods can use the tools at their disposal to enable the rest of us to not have to deal with bullshit.

What is that supposed to do?

"We don't need moderators!" shouts the Troll*, in the wrong community.

* either a troll or just an idiot, doesn't matter imo

I host about 30 services, so it has crossed my mind. But I like the instance I am on now. Also, since it would almost definitely be just me on there, it would be a colossal waste of time, effort, and resources.

Bei mir (ewig her) war der Druck und das Leiden schon jahrelang präsent, aber ich hatte quasi keine Bildung im Bezug auf trans Menschen und ihre Erfahrungen. Trans als Begriff war mir irgendwo bekannt, aber als abstraktes Konzept, nicht als Sache, die "ganz normale" Leute wie ich sein konnten.

Hab irgendwann absolut zufällig einen Erfahrungs- bzw. Rauskommensbericht einer trans Frau gelesen, und mit ziemlicher Panik festgestellt: das ist 1:1 mein Erfahren und meine Gefühle. Oh fuck oh shit.

Hat auf einen Schlag jahrelange Ängste und Leiden rekontextualisiert. Bin quasi in einem Nachmittag trans "geworden".
