I admire your compassion and empathy.

But I think you are missing that the people Darryl talked to had to also be open to that conversation in the first place.

Moreover, the physical risk in that approach is quite high and the level of violence in the modern GOP's rhetoric has just continued to ratchet up every year. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the same approach in this situation. Most of the people that we'd need to replicate what Davis did are in no position to put themselves in that kind of situation--and presumed allies like myself can only do so much.

I think I see where you are coming from, but there does need to be a line where we can just acknowledge reality.

What’s the reason behind thinking half of them are acting in bad faith? Is that because you disagree with them?

This is especially galling when talking about the Supreme Court specifically. McConnell refused to do his legal duty and allow a vote on the current President's nomination to replace Ginsburg. He and his party said this was because it was unfair to seat a new Justice during an election year.

Several years later, the exact same people rushed through a nomination and confirmation of a new Justice just weeks before the 2020 election. The two situations are as close to identical as can be practical with two real-world examples.

Please explain how this should be interpreted in a way that can be described as "operating in good faith".

I don't know why you are looking to set up your own instance, that is not necessary for "normal" users at all.

It makes a lot more sense when you consider those comments were likely bought by someone at Reddit.

Yeah sure, that's what spez told us for years! /s

This post and that phrasing were in full context, however. Why would pre-existing knowledge not be relevant?

They are way passed being able to do anything.

Reddit staff have no idea how their platform works or how their users actually interact with the site. It's completely embarrassing and unprofessional to the point of straight up incompetence.

Might be?

Most restaurants in America as they exist now should not exist. We're essentially all subsidizing low quality, frozen food.

Higher education is not liberal leaving a priori. It's just that acknowledging reality and facts, and even just some parts of scientific consensus, is completely incompatible with agreeing with anything the GOP does or says.

I think that's a gross mischaracterization. Are you a developer or have any experience with open source projects?

Borrowing, modifying and extending other people's code is fundamental to modern software development and completely commonplace. He just moved too fast and forgot to provide proper credit, which this post clearly explains.

Exposure and sticking around for the long haul is the best way most regular users can contribute.
