What makes them more important than the regular hostages?

Neat

I can’t wait to react to another inflammatory thing on the internet with no information.

That doesn’t fit the us vs them narrative OP wants you to accept. How’s your down vote count looking?

I don’t think he heard you. Yell next time.

The first one is definitely a xenomorph

It’s perfectly reasonable to assume you do not understand what you are reading, but please do excuse yourself.

That doesn’t mean what you think it means

I have no idea what you are saying. I have little doubt you had no idea what you read. End of story.

Still stupid to repeat a word over and over without knowing what it means. Words are important.

If you agree with the article, use war crimes instead. That makes sense. Don’t feed the stupid people.

The Nation version is click bait garbage. The original was denied both for safety concerns and it simply wasn’t good enough.

What is genocide?

Wut

Personal echo chamber has to be the worst reasoning and idea I have ever heard.

Maybe I’m bothered because what you suggest as normal is bananas crazy.

See what you did here got me banned from an instance. Copy / pasting the same comment.

No. Admittedly I am having trouble understanding what you wrote but that might highlight part of the problem. Mods who aren’t native English speakers are mods in English subs. They have no idea what they are reading and react randomly.

Also, the random people who volunteer to be mods. They don’t volunteer with good intentions.

So random people can be mods? That’s bananas!

People that get off having mod powers or people that want to push a particular message… 😕

Exactly. You can’t do anything. You are at the mercy of the mods. If they have massive bias for something, the entire sub has massive bias.

It’s more like content steering, yes. But from the perspective of someone that frequents a thread, it’s shadowy. All the content vanishes and remembering the usernames that commented, so I can look up what was removed, is just not practical.

It’s really bizarre and sadly dystopian.

That’s the thing, you have to frequent particular threads to notice, but for your own posts, you can see the mod reasoning, if they are given. Most of the time there is no reason given, but every now and then there’s a one word response that is clearly them not understanding words or pushing their own political ideas. And by doing that they’ve created echo chambers for entire subs. It’s disgusting.

In Reddit at least there is a big notice posted in the comment if they are removed. In Lemmy, they just prune everything so it looks like everyone agrees with the mod.
