I will be better.
I still feel like absolutely bonkers stuff is posted about crypto and they get a pass - extremely low-effort lies and drivel - then I post my counterpoint hot take and it’s “You flame bait moron!”
Similarly I am passionate about China and communism given… the murders in my family… but again, we are supposed to call out certain topics but not others.
My defense, but noted on I’m on my final final warning.
- dang 4y agoThanks. I know it always feels like the other side started it and did worse [1]. There are always datapoints around to support that idea, since we don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here [2]. But if people feel like that makes it ok to break the rules themselves, we end up with a downward spiral [3], so that can't be right. The solution is to stick to the site guidelines no matter what other people do, and let us know about the other cases by flagging them or emailing us.
