Like, I get the thinking behind it. In casual conversation it would come of as a fairly rhetorical way of expressing how bad racism is. But in text form, it can (and will to some) come across as actually encouraging violence. You always have to plan for the stupidest people in the group.
I get that thought, and I don't think that is exactly what I'm doing. Instead I am making an off ramp for some of those communities. I plan on inviting the mods from the r/railroading to mod Railroading@Lemm.ee because they haven't fallen victim of the same automod hell.
I think I want to take a few of my favorite ideas and curate them here. Like, I know of one sub that never took off. I think the only mod got banned or went dark almost as soon as it started. I would like to create that here and start filing it.
Also, I think that is a chance to create specific reasons to entice users over to Lemmy. People frustrated with the unfair moderation of their favorite subs looking for a better way to continue participating in those types of communities. Not a clone, a revival.
Waiting to see. Some others have had theirs go permanent an hour or two after it opened back up.
That's pathetic moderation right there.
I think they need to update the laws regarding light placement. Right now they have to be placed at the top corners of the hood. So trucks and SUVs are forced to have their headlights positioned at eye level with many smaller cars. It's absolutely bonkers.
I'm starting to duplicate communities here on Lemmy. If they permaban my account, I will start handing out invitations on day one.
Yeah that's... That's a pretty clear cut example of violating Rule #1.
I went back to look at it and saw so many missing comments. They didn't show up as deleted or removed. They were just gone as if they never existed. I get cracking down on encouraging violence. But that wasn't what they deleted. What they scrubbed was blatantly dishonest to call a violation of that rule.
It is a sub for railroad employees to share everything work related. There is already a couple of popular subs on Reddit covering this, but nothing I have found on Lemmy.
Mostly we post things like union talk updates, questions about contract and federal work rules, discussion about the job/life, and occasionally just complain.
Railroading is a very unique lifestyle that extends throughout the entire industry. Many of my coworkers (all across the US, and some in other parts of the world) have used social media to communicate freely, without concern about our employers firing us over what we say or discuss.
We also welcome people from outside our industry to ask questions and get to know a bit about our lives. Foamers is the name given to railroad enthusiasts who dedicate a questionable amount of time following trains and taking pictures (look up foamer websites and conventions, it has several subcultures). Many of them will lurk and a few will even join in our conversations.
As a dad I can say you better think twice kids!
Happy Easter my friend.
