>Not a country

>Donald Trump has repeatedly spoken badly about and deliberately mistreated Puerto Rico

>Donald Trump also routinely speaks extremely badly about the country Puerto Rico is in

I'm glad he's changed his mind at the literal last minute, but it baffles me every day how ignorant people can be.

Petition to restart [email protected], by the way.

Every time I make the mistake of visiting that sub, I want to smack the mod who locked it. I don't even know if his grievances were legit, but clearly the only people he's hurting are the folks who would like to post to the sub.

Edit: Are .world Admins aware? Do they have a position on the situation? Do they give a crap? Anyone know?

We're aware. AFAIK, nobody has expressed interest in taking over that community and bringing it back to life.

@[email protected] would you like to volunteer?

It's funny you should ask that; I was just about to reach out to ruud over Matrix and have been thinking about it for a couple weeks. I'd love to if that's alright with the admin team.

Hey, you shouldn't presume to know what other people do with their free time.

I'm so glad you said this so I didn't have to.

edit: This song was originally sung by the group "Men Without Hats." Because of that, it always reminds me of the webcomic "[http://meninhats.com](Men in Hats)," which is excellent. If you haven't read it, you should.

edit 2: apparently my linkage didn't work, I guess because of the quotes? Sorry about that.

I support this candidate. Good luck.

I would also be willing to help if needed. I believe in a mostly hands off moderation style – allowing the votes to serve as the voice of the community. Common sense exceptions exist, obviously.
