Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
It isn’t mental gymnastics, and is closer to the opposite. Your comment is nuancephobic. You’re equating someone who is a social media influencer about studying with someone who is literally pushing party propaganda.
It’s not a broad brush it’s a push broom.
Yes influencers are bad.
Yes big tech companies are evil, and an existential threat to our society and humanity
Yes there are influencers that use their platforms to promote the status quo
You seem to be putting that all on her, or at least describing no daylight between her and fucking Jeff Bezos himself.
Read it again through those eyes. You probably don’t actually think that way but that’s what I read and I think that’s what folks are reacting to.
I am for due process. I am annoyed at influencers. I have nothing personal against her.
But dammit, how long do we continue to just give a pass for people driving views and money to the very thing that is part of the problem? Or at least, like I was doing here: simply demonstrating the bizarre relationship people have with the organization that is advocating to eat their face?
If it was food, or housing, or transportation and there was no other alternative that would be one thing.
Do people really not understand that by participating on meta platforms, you are literally handing them money and a captive audience?
If you thought honestly about the stultifyingly obvious answer to this question, you could acknowledge the actual challenge ahead of us.
Not everyone is where you are. People like us who have left the social media and big tech ecosystem are crazy rare right now, and we definitely need way more people to understand and join us in negating the power we've given them over ourselves.
Your initial comment implied she basically had it coming because she was a mouthpiece for big tech.
We literally cannot afford to be this sanctimonious. We do not have the numbers.
I really wasn't. I didnt think this audience would take it that seriously. When pressed I said why it is ironic, maybe people dont get that.
I even said it was a joke. But I gotta admit, the comments here are beginning to make me care a lot less.
You might be confusing me with someone else.
This must be where you think you said it was a joke. And
this must be where you think you weren’t implying she had it coming.
But maybe I’m confused. I thought you were here in good faith and trying to understand the reaction you were getting and that’s the only reason I commented. I’m happy to get back to smiling at pictures of cats. Ta.
Typically used as unsure, or not really, at the end of a sentence. At least in English.
Cat pictures sound good.
