Yeah, I got that from the post, and I appreciate it. Which is why I've chosen to leave it up. It's certainly an unpopular opinion based on the types of comments I've seen elsewhere, it's not calling out anything specifically, and the message is important.

If you want to edit it to be more generic, that'd be cool. Otherwise, I'm just gonna watch to make sure the discussions/comments don't go off the rails. When the new mod team took over, we all agreed we should leave politics at the door since it's everywhere and sometimes you just need a reprieve.

Not sure where the line is for that, exactly, but I'm willing to allow some generic, good-faith discussion once in a while. May need to chat with the other mods to see how they feel about it.

For the record, I agree with everything you're saying.

As a mod, I have to say "Rule 1: No Politics".

That said, I'm going to allow this as long as it remains civil and discussion is done in good faith without "Godwin's Law" coming into play. I'll be actively moderating this thread, so please keep discussions as generic as possible, and no blaming/figer-pointing/name-calling/etc. I'll probably also be locking it once I'm unable to keep an eye on it (no offense and nothing personal, OP).

That that said, other mods of the community may disagree and remove it, as it is technically violating rule 1 (which we all agreed was for the ultimate benefit of the community). If one of the other mods decides this post should be removed, then I support that decision.

So, for now, carry on, but be civil.

Because that would greatly harm accessibility for the visually impaired.

And if you wanted to adhere to accessibility guidelines for the conversational images, you'd need to add alt text to them. But then the ML models can train on that, so you're back to square one.

We did discuss that, but figured it might be too confusing. Plus, with the federation delays that were happening yesterday, didn't want to take the risk.

Just assume the new signage isn't here yet lol

Lol. Only the post submissions are expected (though not required) to be Popular for today. Comments, as usual, are open season.

I don't know if it was intentional on OP's part, but our April Fool's Day rules are in effect at the moment, so posts are expected to be "Popular Opinions" .

Yeah, timezones are annoying when you want to do something for a specific day. Figured going by UTC would make the most sense.

It's still March for me as well haha.

Not gonna lie, you almost got me. 😆

More like a parasite since it's competing with the rest of your body for that oxygen.

What kind of misogynistic bullshit is this?

Edit: Oh, I see you edited the post.
