Self immolation as a form of protest. For anyone unaware of it there was a Buddhist monk who immolated themself to protest the oppression of Buddhists by the Catholic PM of Vietnam.

Maybe this is why I’m not seeing it, it was a few months ago.

Edit: The link says this was in DC recently though.

“A US Air Force soldier is in critical condition after he set himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, Sunday.”

It is brutal how few people know how to implement it and how apps all seem to have their own ways of doing it. I have to keep notes for the quirks of every damn app/OS I work with that uses SSL/TLS.

Don’t you just need to toss an “.htaccess” file in the root?

The Koch brothers are an example of the problem posed to democracy of having huge amounts of money in a few hands

You are saying Christmas music is “ridiculously conservative”? wtf, it is the holiday season. You have plenty of other stations that don’t play it to listen to.

I had a pokemon go player who’s nickname was “fikjoebiden” lol

I’ve found the censorship on things like youtube and such to be wildly inconsistent. I’ve seen obvious nazi or racist profile pics on youtube that have been up for years. Post a video though of a band playing a copywritten piece and it is down in a few weeks.

At my job we shut down a system with v4 of RHEL that had an uptime of a few years (we have generator power backups).

Roll it into the prices then. Any mandatory fee is a cost of doing business, don’t make it look like your food costs less than it really does. Only taxes should be separate.

How about just raising prices since it is a cost of running the business.

The problem appears to be connected to your bank account and can only be fixed if you buy some apple gift cards…

If they want to mod another group they have to surrender their mods privs in a current one.

Hmmmm, how can we make reddit a forum for free discourse? By banning discourse or restricting it to only politically correct groups.

Maybe a cap on the number of communities you can be a mod in.

Same here. I got banned from leaving a comment questioning an antivax subreddit that another subreddit used an autoban bot to monitor. There was no attempt to take context into consideration. This type of moderation behavior should be unacceptable.

Thanks for replying. I’d also like to suggest:

1. Moderators MUST point out in any ban or deletion message what rule was broken and copy the comment in it if it was deleted.
2. There needs to be a contact that admins moderators (mod for mods) for appealing misbehavior by mods
3. Group rules must comply with Lemmy’s terms of service
4. Repeated moderator abuse, after warnings, should result in the loss of mod privileges
5. Bots cannot be used to ban users. A person needs to put some thought into it. For instance, a bot might ban based on forbidden words but the comment may be quoting someone using them.

In reddit I questioned the logic of an anti-vax group and immediately got banned by about a dozen bots in other groups because I had commented in a “forbidden” group. There was no attention paid to the content of the comment. So much for reddit being a forum for discussion.

If you can’t moderate a group without using ban bots then you shouldn’t be moderating.

I’d like to see rules for moderators, for instance they cannot ban users based on participation in other groups
