It is quite ironic, that people flagged your post.
Meaning apparently, no your opinion, that people don’t want to be confronted with controversial opinions all day long was a unwanted opinion from the local hivemind. Or was I missing something here?
Because I also think, that it is fine, if people do their thing in their groups. There are enough other public (online) places, where you do get confronted with other peoples realities. Is that really a flagworthy opinion?
- arp242 3y ago> It is quite ironic, that people flagged your post. Flagged or downvoted? Downvoting stuff is fine; it's actually a bit more nuanced as I mentioned in my previous post because if you spend all your life in a "circlejerk" then that's perhaps a bit of an issue. That's been a concern with e.g. "The filter bubble" and things like "FOX News media bubble" and stuff. But none of that applies to e.g. Lobsters, so I didn't bother mentioning it. Flagging would be a horrible abuse of the flag feature though.
- hutzlibu 3y agoSee the reply from dang above, it was apparently a simple word filter in action, meaning "circlej**" is not allowed to say.
- hutzlibu 3y agoFlagged, like this post of yours was just now. (until I vouched) I see it happen and it disturbs me as well. The other variant would be, you are shadowbanned? But it doesn't seem like it.
- dang 3y agoNo one flagged the post. It was killed by a software filter until users vouched for it.
- hutzlibu 3y agoI suppose because of the words used, like "circlejerks"? Another "crude tool" then, I suppose .. as I think in this context the use of that word was alright. Vouching somewhat works, though. edit: confirmed, as this comment is now also dead. Small suggestion: if a bad word is enclosed by "", it likely is not used in a bad way.
