This comment feels needlessly hostile.
When organizations mess up, why is their first response to the critique to say “Why didn’t you come to us first?” when they really mean “Why did you make this public so we actually have to do something?”
I get really frustrated with the response because it doesn’t come across as a company actually interested in improving, but just throwing accusations back and trying to beg off the responsibility of actually holding themselves accountable.
You’re seeing words that trigger your community’s language filter, I believe.
Seconding this. OP seems very determined to avoid interacting with comments that don’t explicitly confirm their own worldview.
I believe this troll is referring to the transexual and bisexual pride flags on OP’s banner. Best not to engage further.
Very true, I forgot about the doorbell cameras! Neighbors on FB will often post their camera footage when a “suspicious” (read: black or young) person drives by
I feel the more likely scenario is for public surveillance to reach a point where everyone outside their home (or near a window) is being recorded from multiple sources.
Just started my first playthrough recently, should be exciting to have even more stuff to discover!
Seconding this; Cruelty Squad is hitting that Deus Ex/Quake itch for me right now
I don’t think there is anything they can do to get me back anymore. I have a lot of issues with the culture that exists on that site, and that’s not something that can be fixed by walking back the API stuff or removing a few problematic individuals.
I’ve been reading your comments and I see a worrying trend of false equivalency. As others have pointed out, two facts can be true without excluding each other.
I fail to see racism and orientalism present in this thread. What I do see are people linking to lists of human rights violations committed by the CCP, people complaining that unequivocally pro-CCP messaging is disingenuous, and people upset that a ban reason was not adequately explained.
I’m a card-carrying communist who sees a lot wrong with China’s handling of political dissidents and ethnic minorities. From what I’m seeing about lenny.ml, it seems like milquetoast criticisms are being met with bans and censorship, and I see prominent users defending this practice citing “imperialistic anti-China propaganda” as being the reason why the uninitiated doesn’t blindly praise the CCP. This belief is rooted in some fact - American media tends to portray eastern countries in a harshly negative light - but I hardly think that means that all criticism is made in bad faith.
I’m reminded of unequivocally capitalist sites banning mentions of communism and critiques of capitalism, and I believe that this trend does nothing besides foster the echo chambers that I, at least, have been trying to escape from.
I personally migrated because I wanted to avoid the majority
As per the article:
"But what if my container is ‘microwave-safe’?
Though various plastics are marked as microwave-safe—and plenty of plastic lobbyists have defended them as perfectly safe—the term is somewhat misleading. It’s simply referring to plastic types that won’t crack or melt when heated, not their chemical makeup. Supposedly microwave-safe products can still contain bisphenols, phthalates, and plenty of other potentially harmful ingredients."
