by Laurelai 692 days ago  ·  link  ·  parent  ·  post: This is driving me crazy - what do we call ourselves?

How about people.

by syncretic 692 days ago  ·  link

Of course but my point is I keep seeing other people use a variety of these terms, it's probably got something to do with an ancestral desire to belong to a tribe, but whatever, it's happening. I just wanted to see if we could actually agree on one of them that suck less than the rest so that when people feel the need to use one, it's not a different one each time.

I like "people on hubski"

by thenewgreen 692 days ago  ·  link

I like that too.

by Mark10579 692 days ago  ·  link

Yeah, it's just generally less conducive to weird tribe mentality. I cringe whenever someone calls themselves a "redditor" or a "/b/tard" or what have you

    I cringe whenever someone calls themselves a "redditor" or a "/b/tard" or what have you

And that's the best reason for "people on hubski"

by Wintermute 692 days ago  ·  link

This same question has been tickling the back of my brain for the last few days. Now that I've read your post, I'm quite happy that there isn't an easy question to answer.

People should have more important things to identify themselves by than the websites they frequent.

by Laurelai 355 days ago  ·  link  ·  parent  ·  post: Cis feminism is a failure to the trans community

Yes ignore the person who lives the reality as opposed to the cis woman with privilege, thank you for highlighting the point :)

by geneusutwerk 355 days ago  ·  link

That is not what I was saying at all.

I was just suggesting another item to read, that attacked the point from a different direction.

What you wrote is only a call to action, perhaps I was harsh in saying this, but I clicked on it assuming it would be a critique and it wasn't.

And please continue with your ad hominem attacks.

by JakobVirgil 355 days ago  ·  link

I don't think ad hominem applies. She is accusing you of actions not saying you are wrong because of qualities.

I think there is a fallacy in play but its name does not come to my fingers. something about ascribing intentions to others. This is always a problem in Marxist/Freudian disciplines. In my opinion (as a western-cis-hetero-nearly white-male with an advanced degree) Identity studies should be reworked on a less theory laden paradigm.

by geneusutwerk 354 days ago  ·  link

I appreciate what you are trying to do here, but I don't see how it cannot be an ad hominen attack.

    ignore the person who lives the reality as opposed to the cis woman with privilege

What she says is "you can't not believe what this author is writing because of who she is" which is an ad hominen attack. She did not engage with the author's argument in anyway, and only dismisses it based on who the author is.

Which is too bad since I would think, perhaps wrongly, that laurelai would appreciate a book about intersectionality, and how interest organizations constantly try to frame advantaged group issues as being universal, while ignoring disadvantaged group issues.

by Laurelai 352 days ago  ·  link

I dont need a book written by a privileged white cis woman to tell me about intersectionality because i live the experience every day of my life. Those books are for you people. The people who dont face multiple axes of oppression, honestly what can this book tell me about my life that I dont already know?

I dismissed her work and your suggestion like i did because you tried to tell someone who lives on multiple axes of oppression to read a book on multiple axes of oppression, i found it a bit insulting and patronizing.

You are more worried about logically constructed arguments than real life pain faced by human beings when people are seldom convinced by logic, they are convinced by emotion and use logic to justify it after the fact.

Im just honest about being motivated by emotion.

This writing was a reaction to the marginalization transgender people face within activism and within the regular everyday world. Where the people who are supposed to be on our side instead show solidarity with the people who want us dead and spend their money trying to keep laws protecting trans women from being passed, or working to repeal existing protections. This wasnt to convince someone on the internet with no vested interest in the situation, this was a war cry to other trans women who know exactly what we face and have seen it too. I dont have to prove it to them using logic because they live it every single day just like i do.

Im speaking truth to power, not writing a scientific paper.

Deal with it.

by JakobVirgil 354 days ago  ·  link

I was saying It is not a ad hom against you.

dismissing a paper because of its author is classic ad hom but not necessarily an attack.

I read Ms. Bailey's venom to be directed at you not the book you suggested.

Maybe I misread.

by geneusutwerk 354 days ago  ·  link

I agree, doesn't make it right though.

by JakobVirgil 354 days ago  ·  link

Nope.

by JakobVirgil 355 days ago  ·  link

If this was a diner party or a evening at the pub with friends. (which really is what hubski is at least to me)

What I would do here is say to geneusutwerk "this is Laurelai - Laurelai this is geneusutwerk I think both of you have an interest in gender politics"

y'all would shake hands, realize the other person is a person, mumble greetings/apologies and prolly hit it off.

so whatever the online equivalent of this is.

Who should I talk to about letting people know how admins protect child porn on Reddit?

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

They dont. LOL. You got banned for being part of the spamming ring they cleaned up.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

LOL they do - and I have proof! I also have proof that I never accepted payments but I consider the CP a more important issue at this point.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

Show your proof then.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

That doesnt say anything about child porn there. And to be quite honest your mod team was caught red handed and you were hostile to the admins. I think you honestly probably didnt have anything to do with it but you did seem to piss them off quite a bit.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Well obviously you're going to think whatever you're going to think - I'm the only one who's actually providing transcripts of these conversations and proof that I actually reported the spammer who they're accusing me of taking payments from. They're simply making false accusations and saying "We're admin. Believe what we say. They were bad."

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

As I said I believe you that you werent part of it. But the rest of your modteam was. They even said they believed you.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Is that what you said? I must have misread that.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT PISSES ME OFF ABOUT THIS! They have no evidence, they even said they don't believe I acted inappropriately and they DEFINITELY can't produce any mod logs that say I did any of these things.... because I never did them.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

Well you associated with an entire team that did, you have to admit that it makes you look pretty bad.

by mbrutsch 695 days ago  ·  link

Guilt by association? You're better than that, Laurie.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

Im explaining how the reddit admins saw it.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Look - I asked those two guys "man to man" if they ever actually accepted payments. They told me no. I have no reason to not believe what they're telling me and again, I could never find anything in the mod logs that supported what they were saying. I went back through 2 months of mod log info and never even found one link that SpackSack supposedly approved and only 3 mod actions TOTAL.

The whole thing is just bullshit. The bigger the lie, the more people believe - and there's more than enough evidence to say that admins consistently lie about why prominent users have been banned.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

My thing is ive made more trouble for the reddit admins than anyone on the site period and they have yet to shadowban me, in fact i think i have some kind of record for getting other people banned. You know why? I follow the rules. To the letter. Yes im a colossal pain in the ass for certain groups of people, but I do it within reddits rules. Oh and I always watch my mod teams like a hawk. A mix of e-lawyer and paranoia keeps you from getting banned.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Except for the fact that users can be banned for "causing too much drama" according to dacvak and I'd say you've raised enough drama to warrant a ban.

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

Are you referring to the PIMA banning here?

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Yup

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

Didn't the admins give a vague statement about rule-breaking in that case too? Something about them having "investigated" the account and found reasons for a ban?

The drama posts seemed to have set that investigation off, though.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

They also accused him of posting pictures of underage girls which is absolute bullshit. Admins simply make up any lie that suits their needs.

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

Yeah, I don't know. Personally I don't like PIMA but that's just me.

I'm listening to the DailyDot conversation on Liveleak right now and if you want my advice, you should keep pushing on the fact that you've prevented CP from being posted.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

The fact is the PIMA and violenta both fought battles that I didn't agree with that resulted in their eventual departure from Reddit. This does not negate the fact that they were both excellent moderators who did a lot for Reddit.

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

I agree. My dislike for them is only personal.

When was the DailyDot conversation recorded? That user you said you guys reported multiple times seems to have been banned.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

This afternoon. The removal of /u/MrSnakeX must have been recent because when I checked the other day the account was still up. The thing is, the links he posted are still active if you search his name which means all of his posts are still active: http://www.reddit.com/r/all/search?q=mrsnakex

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

According to the guy you were talking to the account was up during your conversation. I guess the admins are listening to it as well?

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Lol no of course not. He just searched the name in the search bar which is what that URL I sent you was.

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

Oh, my mistake then.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

And yet im not banned.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Can't explain that.

by Zero1Three 695 days ago  ·  link

I think that link got spam filtered. It has no activity.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Yeah the InternetAMA mods said they would approve it but I guess that didn't happen.

by Baladas 695 days ago  ·  link

I'll see if I can contact loves_being_that_guy on facebook. One of the braveryjerk crew.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Looks like it's up now. They'll still have to manually approve my comments though.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

He got auto shadowbanned.

by Baladas 695 days ago  ·  link

They banned you, fucked you over extra by deleting all your history, and shadowbanned your new account too, and made 2 different (most likely false) accusations without proof.

Do you yet feel responsible for a lot of your subreddits?

Anyway, ontopic; I think your best shot might be SRS.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

>Do you yet feel responsible for a lot of your subreddits?

Only because I was responsible for most of that success. I worked really hard to make my subreddits as popular as they were and it sucks to lose all that effort however I'm more interested in letting the public know about all the shitty things admin do behind the scenes that you can only learn after becoming a moderator.

by Laurelai 696 days ago  ·  link  ·  parent  ·  post: What could happen if hubski grows?

For one they didn't scale properly, they got huge and failed to empower the moderators with the right tools to run their subreddits. Second they kept too little control of the site and it descended into mob rule rather quickly, this forced the formation of factions and the related struggles that continue to tear apart the website.

by mk 696 days ago  ·  link

Scale has been something that I’ve thought about constantly. Probably even at the expense of growth. Reddit is one of a number of sites that I have tried to learn from in this regard.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

Well great. Im glad to hear it. Im also a bit curious how you will handle cybermobs.

by celocanth13 696 days ago  ·  link

Also terrible transparency on the admins part, although I think the mods had enough power and some took it a little far. Large subs needed something else because 20 something people controlling 3 million doesn't work well on the internet.

Also, are you the same Laurelai?

by Laurelai 696 days ago  ·  link

Yes I am and the mods on reddit in the defaults for the most part are absolutely terrified of being witch hunted by the userbase. The mods did not have the ability to detect or ban alt accounts or lock threads or hard delete anything, not even doxxing. Other forums have figured all this stuff out and reddit wont budge on it. The crowds are so easily swayed and manipulated into grabbing the torches and pitchforks over the most absurd stuff.

As I said I believe you that you werent part of it. But the rest of your modteam was. They even said they believed you.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Is that what you said? I must have misread that.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT PISSES ME OFF ABOUT THIS! They have no evidence, they even said they don't believe I acted inappropriately and they DEFINITELY can't produce any mod logs that say I did any of these things.... because I never did them.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

Well you associated with an entire team that did, you have to admit that it makes you look pretty bad.

Guilt by association? You're better than that, Laurie.

Im explaining how the reddit admins saw it.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Look - I asked those two guys "man to man" if they ever actually accepted payments. They told me no. I have no reason to not believe what they're telling me and again, I could never find anything in the mod logs that supported what they were saying. I went back through 2 months of mod log info and never even found one link that SpackSack supposedly approved and only 3 mod actions TOTAL.

The whole thing is just bullshit. The bigger the lie, the more people believe - and there's more than enough evidence to say that admins consistently lie about why prominent users have been banned.

My thing is ive made more trouble for the reddit admins than anyone on the site period and they have yet to shadowban me, in fact i think i have some kind of record for getting other people banned. You know why? I follow the rules. To the letter. Yes im a colossal pain in the ass for certain groups of people, but I do it within reddits rules. Oh and I always watch my mod teams like a hawk. A mix of e-lawyer and paranoia keeps you from getting banned.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Except for the fact that users can be banned for "causing too much drama" according to dacvak and I'd say you've raised enough drama to warrant a ban.

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

Are you referring to the PIMA banning here?

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Yup

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

Didn't the admins give a vague statement about rule-breaking in that case too? Something about them having "investigated" the account and found reasons for a ban?

The drama posts seemed to have set that investigation off, though.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

They also accused him of posting pictures of underage girls which is absolute bullshit. Admins simply make up any lie that suits their needs.

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

Yeah, I don't know. Personally I don't like PIMA but that's just me.

I'm listening to the DailyDot conversation on Liveleak right now and if you want my advice, you should keep pushing on the fact that you've prevented CP from being posted.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

The fact is the PIMA and violenta both fought battles that I didn't agree with that resulted in their eventual departure from Reddit. This does not negate the fact that they were both excellent moderators who did a lot for Reddit.

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

I agree. My dislike for them is only personal.

When was the DailyDot conversation recorded? That user you said you guys reported multiple times seems to have been banned.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

This afternoon. The removal of /u/MrSnakeX must have been recent because when I checked the other day the account was still up. The thing is, the links he posted are still active if you search his name which means all of his posts are still active: http://www.reddit.com/r/all/search?q=mrsnakex

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

According to the guy you were talking to the account was up during your conversation. I guess the admins are listening to it as well?

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Lol no of course not. He just searched the name in the search bar which is what that URL I sent you was.

by LowSociety 695 days ago  ·  link

Oh, my mistake then.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

And yet im not banned.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Can't explain that.

by Zero1Three 695 days ago  ·  link

I think that link got spam filtered. It has no activity.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Yeah the InternetAMA mods said they would approve it but I guess that didn't happen.

by Baladas 695 days ago  ·  link

I'll see if I can contact loves_being_that_guy on facebook. One of the braveryjerk crew.

by Scopolamina 695 days ago  ·  link

Looks like it's up now. They'll still have to manually approve my comments though.

by Laurelai 695 days ago  ·  link

He got auto shadowbanned.
