Gotta go where the people are sometimes

Try asking them what rule you broke. Good luck with that. Sadly lemmy is importing the shitty mods from reddit.

There is no recourse for badly run subreddits or shitty mods in reddit. Pretty much the only way to get them to take any action is to sic the press on them. Other than that the free labor mods provide reddit means they can abuse their roles to their heart's content.

Telling me to subscribe is a great way to make me deliberately not subscribe.

Or reaction videos where they cut to a guy rolling their eyes or looking bothered. Thanks for that hilarious cutaway.

Just as bad are videos that end before the reason you are watching. Like someone cleaning up some mess and they don't show the finished result.

Because it makes it easier to read so bite me.

I wonder how much more they can isolate woman. Next up, woman must be sealed in jars.

Duct tape over their eyes should save them from their uncontrollable, sinful, urges.

Yup. In any group you'll always have those who seek status by being more extreme than the rest. Others in the group feed this by giving them their applause and attention. You see this in even something as trivial as a shared interest groups like hiking or biking. Here the Taliban making this decision (and not all of them want this) are showing they are "more devout and better Muslims than the rest" and also trying to justify their positions.

It is also a good way to deflect attention from the fact that the economy is shit and the Taliban have been lousy rulers.

One way to win support is to pit one group against another. It makes them (the ones on top) feel good and deflects attention from those in charge. Here the woman are used to being treated poorly and many of them even aid in their own oppression. "This is the way it has always been."
