“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Post got removed in .world for not being a "news source" even though Klippenstein is definitely a very established independent journalist, so trying again here I guess.

Also you guys clearly don't seem to ban substack, since there are multiple posts currently up that have been posted a day ago in one case, and 16 hours ago in the other, one of which is literally also from ken klippenstein. So why is it fine sometimes but not othertimes? I don't necessarily have an issue with a broad ban of any substack link (even though I personally think that would be kinda dumb), but that fact that it's so inconsistently enforced isn't good.

Bruh. Everyone sees you for who you really are. Stop acting like they don’t.

A mod who enforces the rules... I know, I know, kids hate this one restrictive trick!

Jesus fucking shit bro. Do you see that part of the other posters comment that I helpfully quoted for you?

Go back and read what’s in the quote inset again, then address it. Or you can just keeping playing this coy, smug, shit licking game that literally everyone can see straight through I guess. You’re not clever my dude, you’re a fucking hollow, empty, sad, pathetic person.

Even if world allowed Substack, which it doesn't, it STILL would have been removed for being internal US news, not world news.

See each community has a thing called a "Sidebar" that explain the rules for the community, you might try actually reading them sometime.

Here, I'll make it super easy for you:

Still not clear? How about now?

That's not the community I posted it to, I posted it to News, since I know it's US specific and I don't want to flood world news with USA stuff since that's already way too common online.

You posted this whole fucking thing, got so hot and bothered that you took fucking screenshots and marked them up with “arrows”, and you didn’t even realize that this whole time the OP here said NEWS not WORLD NEWS, you insipid fool.

Between myself and the other person you’ve seen NEWS by itself mentioned like 15 times. The only person that’s ever mentioned WORLD NEWS is yourself. Do you actually consider yourself to be a serious person, because my god man you come across as everything but.

Hmm... I guess I need to use smaller words just for you:

Me not news mod.
Me can speak for Politics and World.
Me can no speak for News.
Me explain mod rules for Politics and World.
News has own rules.
News rules not my rules.
News does their thing, Politics and World do their thing.
Two things not same thing.
News can do things Politics and World don't.
Politics and world do things News doesn't.

If that's not good enough I can see if I can round up a below average 6 year old to explain it to you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh fuck chat guess I’m cooked.

For real though, I’m sorry for whatever’s going (or not going) on in your life that’s led to you behaving like this online.

This entire thread started because I responded to this comment:

"You're really having this conversation here...

... while simultaneously being part of the mod team that bans this source and topic in all the .world instances you moderate?"

See that bit at the end? ALL THE INSTANCES I MODERATE.

Primarily, that means Politics and World. There are other tiny ones nobody but me and maybe 1 or 2, maybe as many as 5 care about.

You're the one insisting I address community I DO NOT MODERATE.

So while I can speak authoritatively about what I mod, I can't speak to News.

Me: Well, here's why we banned it in Politics and World...

You: HOW DARE YOU NOT TALK ABOUT NEWS!!!

Well, that's not the question I was asked. I was asked about the ones I moderate.

Here, come back after you have someone explain this to you:
