      Edit 2: since there’s no consensus on this I’m just going to reify that fact via the trailing-question-mark trick and call it a day.

      Since killing != killed, your comment already shows that the title is misleading.

      (That has a beneficial side effect btw: not having my own opinion about a story makes it easier to not moderate according to my own opinion. I still do that, or try my best to, even when I do have an opinion—but it takes more ATP.)

      danny, please log the fuck off

              my new gimmick for the occasions I have to post on the orange site is seeing how many question marks I can add to my thread titles and comments before I get shadowbanned

        trailing-question-marks: the consensus bypassing trick anarchists don’t want you to know?

      The amount of tone-policing in the comments is sickening though.

          Nice. I got some restriction for being too sarcastic about Elon and his sycophants, did dang get you yet? It blocks me from posting for a while if I do several at once. I just quit using the site shortly after that.

            they don’t actually want people commenting, apparently, so there’s a throttle

              For everyone? That’s idiotic. It’s killed all my desire to engage, because I’ll want to respond to someone, hit the wall, and just leave for several days. Eventually the several days seems to have become forever. I thought that was the point after dang specifically told me to “be respectful.” If it’s for everyone that’s completely idiotic.

              I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. The site is not about having good conversations, but getting youths to risk doing a startup in order to fill Paul’s pockets.
