For everyone reading this, if you have thoughts or opinions on the subject, please direct them to the original post to centralize the discussion. Thank you.

I would like to see more peoples perspectives to try and achieve a middle ground with whether the mod should be kept or not.

If you'd like to engage in a debate on this topic, I invite you to bring your arguments to the original post where the discussion is centralized. This will help maintain a focused and meaningful conversation. Thank you.

Gonna be real honest here, there’s no 'debate' to be had here. Anyone thinking there is a debate to be had here probably has ulterior motives and is being disingenuous.

No one should normalize this 'debate'.

The purpose of centralizing the discussion is to understand various perspectives on platform moderation. While you may see the issue as settled, other individuals may have questions or viewpoints they'd like to explore. Declining to engage in debate doesn't nullify the merit of the discussion for others who are genuinely interested in dissecting the subject matter.

Nah, I'm good. I skimmed it and I see 2 view points, everyone who thinks it's stupid, and you trying to keep the party going.

In the words of JFK, 'One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.'

[–] HumbleFlamingo@beehaw.org 13 points 2 years ago

The full quote is:

“John Kennedy believed so strongly that one’s aim should not just be the most comfortable life possible, but that we should all do something to right the wrongs we see, and not just complain about them. We owe that to our country, and our country will suffer if we don’t serve her. He believed that one man can make a difference – and that every man should try.“

And it was Former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy who said it.

Is the difference you’re trying to make to get everyone to lend validity to the notion of even discussing allowing the transphobic mod?

Ever heard of Sealioning? Look it up. That’s you. Your posts are dripping with pseudo-intellectual “just asking questions” spittle.

[–] librechad@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Sealioning is often a tactic used to derail conversations, but that's not my intent here. I genuinely want to explore the community standards that dictate mod removals. If you find that pseudo-intellectual, perhaps it's because the questions themselves are inherently complex and require intellectual discussion.
