One of those normal questions you ask kids. "How's elementary school? Is there any republican you respect?"

I asked my 1 y/o this last week and he said the only republican he respects is Chase from Paw Patrol.

Because, from our point of view, we don't view a lot of the calls for compensation as good faith advocacy for us so much as it is a way to attack Cerium (mainly because a lot of people still go on to insult us in the same breadth anyway). That doesn't mean demands for compensation aren't valid. It means there is definitely some weaponization going on, and it's happening regardless of if you- the actual you, not a general you- are doing it yourself. At a certain threshold it becomes impossible to tell individual intent when you're dealing with hundreds of people weighing in on something simultaneously. But you can tell, from personal history and the hostility towards you for daring to say "I'm okay, don't worry about me," that bad faith is evident. And that shouldn't be ignored like it has.

Again, this is why I keep joking that people want us to be paid to be called incompetent fascists, instead of realizing that we don't want to be called incompetent fascists, as if the money will make it better. Like, have you worked retail lol? You think the paycheck absolves the customer's behavior?


 :lol :lol :lol

Cerium gets $4.5million, and you get to beg for art supplies.

We like Cerium.

Also note, we're not above being paid. If we got equal shares of everything, we'd all probably take it. We're just letting people know we never signed on for financial compensation in the first place because... it was a volunteer job (still is; I can leave anytime). So you know, it's hard to feel any type of way?

so basically, "I want to get paid but I'm too scared to push the issue because mod power trips are the only thing that keeps me going"

I would certainly ignore other users for directing the discussion this way. Surely most of the commentary by staff in this thread is not essential, why can’t I ignore it like I can anyone else?

User banned (permanent): Hostility towards staff. Multiple prior bans for hostility.
Quote from: enempi
This is an amazing thread. You gotta love the performative wokeness of the staff that they spend like 30 pages going to the mat for a white woman calling a black man a cracker, but the mildest suggestion that hey, maybe you guys shouldn’t work for free for a guy cashing out millions, it devalues labor ya know, turns into a 120+ page didactic slap fight. How DARE you! These users are hypocrites! They are the evil ones! You have to really admire the utter insanity of proclaiming that large swaths of the community are toxic, hostile, and bigoted while insisting that you want to moderate that community for free. That cannot possibly be healthy. Some real “we are the shields against the darkness” energy going on here. Incredible stuff. Cerium could not have asked for a better crew, so props to him on the payday.

God damn I love me some petty ass mod drama. I’m getting real 2004 vibes from this thread. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Anyone saying different does not know what is actually going on.

Assurance as in "we wont sell your data, pinky promise" or something legally binding  ::)

It does not strike me as likely that the unpaid volunteer mods which have not signed any kind of legally binding documents up unto this point have had access too any kind of documentation pertaining to the sale of Cerium's website.

So "assurances" consist only of Discord logs I'm sure.

I think it’s with remembering that Powell was conned and manipulated by the hawks

That’s right. A 4 star general was conned and manipulated by Bush and co. It’s telling that the progressives of Ree think portraying Colin Powell, the first black Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and Secretary of State, as a naive, easily lead fool is the best way to defend him.

We are not now, nor are we ever, going to sell your data. It will not be sold. Ever.

We have assurances of this. Your data will not be sold.

I'd respect B-dubs 1000% more if they just said "we have no fucking control over anything that happens at resetera.com except for the banning of you lunatics".

B-dubs not understanding why his statements of General Manager have zero impact on the beliefs on the masses, when he's dealing with a forum pretty heavy on not trusting corporations. He's basically the shift lead at your local McDonalds trying to assure customers about long-term corporate strategy based on the latest monthly newsletter.

TBH they'd have had an easier time of it if they'd had the humility to approach things as "We're nervous; they've been saying the right things, but we all know the reasons to worry" instead of "WE HAVE BEEN ASSURED NOTHING WILL CHANGE. CORPORATIONS DO NOT LIE OR CHANGE THEIR MINDS SO THIS IS THE BEST FIT." They once again faceplate the second projecting authority and talking down to dissenters isn't adequate.

I can't help but think if the mods or bdubz just said 'we've been told by cerium that nothing is going to change, but until we hear from the new owners we don't really know much more than you' and left it there, instead of bickering with everyone like children and organising a gay op to derail the thread this would have blown over (for now) for the most part by Saturday afternoon :neogaf
