I'm not celebrating, I just think we should have a massive "Enjoy hell, Brian" wake, on the scale of Boston after the Red Sox won the world series for the first time in 80-something years. But nationwide.

Kind of like being anywhere in Scotland when Margaret Thatcher died.

I've been pretty impressed that the shooter has so far evaded police. I can only imagine that there have been at least one or two incidents thus far where people, be it cops or witnesses, had a clear opportunity to take actions that would lead to his immediate capture, but decided not to.

From what I know, cops often rely on the cooperation of the public to resolve crimes, but they may not be getting any on this one.

Why contain it? Let it spill over to the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them.

[email protected] deleted a spicy post from a couple days ago. The fediverse isn't immune but it definitely fares better.

Why the fuck would the moderators care about how much work it is to remove the posts.

One of the mods said (in the article) that to their knowledge it's mostly the paid admins removing it not the unpaid moderators.

The quote I was referencing is this:

“People - Please don't make the life of your mods a living hell. Anything that is celebrating violence is going to get taken down - if not from us, then from reddit. I think all the mods understand that there is a high level of frustration and antipathy towards insurance and insurance execs, but we also understand that murdering people in the streets is not good. We are a public group of medical professionals, we still need to act like that.”

The line about making their lives a living hell?

If you ever feel the need to type that in reference to your volunteer Reddit moderation... Stand up, go outside.

Imagine letting an unpaid position on social media "make life hell"
