I feel like people are looking for a quick pill to take that will make them all better. So when they don't get it, they become jerks.

I did consider that myself. We do work on a case by case basis, and I can agree that a first time offense should be dealt with as has been done thus far. Let us take a moment to discuss it, then I will update with what we decided.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know about a little change we are making in how we mod.

As you may or may not know, the mod tools are sparse, for the time being, at least. So we only have a few options.

That's why we will be rolling out a new thing from this point forward. Call it a 3 strikes rule if you like.

This is meant to be an inclusive and friendly community. We work hard to keep it that way. There appears to be an uptick in issues with breaking Rule 5. In case you are unfamiliar, that's the be respectful rule.

In light of this, we have chosen to implement a system where the first offense of the rules (any rules) will be given a chance to reword or remove the offense. The next offense receives a 3 day ban. The third offense (again, any rules) receives a week ban. The last offense is a permanent ban.

Your community is what you make it. If you aren't safe here, we aren't doing our jobs as mods and as members of the community. We all need to work together to keep this place safe for ourselves. That is why Rule 5, in particular, is so important.

Please, think about what you are saying before you post. There is a human on the other side of that screen, and just because you are anonymous doesn't mean what you say has no impact. Everyone has bad days, but we don't need to take them out on each other.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

E: Updated to reflect the nature of those in the community. Thanks for the input!

Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here? in c/[email protected]

I'm very interested in understanding. But I don't want to always be the smartest person in the room. I'm already the smartest in most situations I'm in IRL. If it was always like that, I'd definitely go crazy.

Why is that on the internet, people assume you're a male from America, but if you're a vegan on the internet, people assume you're female? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

My guess would be that with the huge amount of American males (it is a big country after all) people just assume. And women are known to care about animals more, whether that is true or not.

I've been called a guy before and my name doesn't exactly strike people as male. I am female. I've been on the internet long enough not to care.

I would say no. Lots of the super smart people become eccentric. I suspect any smarter and they'd just end up flat crazy. Dealing with being the only one in the room who understands what you're saying can be lonely.

I'm working with a group of people, some 10 years younger than me, who don't really understand technology. It feels weird.

Any Parents Here? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

When I had kids, autism was still for boys. I think I'm in a minority though because I wanted kids a lot. So I see them as independent extensions of myself. I didn't get the socialization issues with them, and would make a point to bring at least one kid when they got older as my support person. They didn't know this though.

It was actually easier for me to be around other people when they were young because they gave me something to talk about.

I rarely think about the fact it might look like I'm making the convo about ne but this is definitely true for me.
