These are tough ethical challenges with real pain involved, and the possibility of additional harm depending on your actions. In these situations, volunteer moderators fall under intense pressure to balance conflicting policy, harm reduction, and privacy constraints. They also face emotional pressure from third parties who want to weigh in on the decision, often without access to complete information.

I keep this in mind when deciding whether to amplify or join in arguments over moderation.

What the actual fuck

Any good replacements?

It's a silly joke but I find it incredibly funny... And what more can you ask for a joke to be that Mario, Zelda, and HTML altogether? I wish I had thought of it for comiCSS.

As a disabled web accessibility practitioner. This pisses me off. Extremely.

GENERATIVE AI DOES NOT AND CANNOT EVER REPRESENT DISABLED PEOPLE.

Just fucking hire disabled people like me who know what they're doing.

Believing AI over disabled people is ABLEISM and DEHUMANIZING. For fucks sake.

Wakker worden #Nederland. We kunnen er nog sneller dan de Hongaren worden ingeluisd. De weg naar een #fascistoïde staat heeft minder grensblokkades dan we denken.

[x] doubt

mind you, we still believe that it's a moral obligation to, at a bare minimum, bear witness to what happened.

it's just so frustrating how the foundation of consensus reality is denial. fighting against something like that is a lot.

Help please!

I have a distinct memory memory of a machine from my childhood, used in grocery stores around New England [probably primarily New Jersey or Connecticut.]

There was a machine that would tie together groceries instead of bagging them. It was placed over top or in place of the checkout belt [after the register] and used twine. It was fast and super cool and I remember being needlessly fascinated by it.

This would have been in the 90s.

Anyone have -any- clue what I'm talking about?

why does the bird take the tube?

Whoever made that “Wikipedia-as-DNS” system was kind of cooking! Every time I visit a site, I already check Wikipedia to make sure the URI hasn’t changed…

Apparently the Balatro dev put a clause saying "Never, ever let casinos make any kind of Balatro anything. NEVER make a gambling Balatro" into his will

And I know there's a lot of people who'll read that and think, "Oh that old nugget. I can't believe she's malding about some junk mail." But that's the fucking point? I'm over 40. I've seen some bullshit. And here I am spending 10 minutes getting increasingly excited about telling my partner about this as I'm looking for tricks how this paper wasn't legally lying to me about winning money, money that would really take a strain off, until I found the trick. The trick I knew had to be there. A trick they've been doing for at least a decade now, probably way longer. There are people who aren't able to look for those tricks, or who don't spot them. How many people make that call and give away their info, excited at the idea they won something other than landfill e-waste, only to be let down? They shouldn't be thrown to the wolves! This shouldn't be okay! Fuck the people that not only come up with this grift, but also the people so uncreative they recycle it whole cloth! I haven't even gotten to the part yet where they reveal the prestige, and I already feel like shit because I foolishly believed for a moment something nice was unexpectedly happening. The silver lining gave me mercury poisoning.
