Moderators (requests and notices)

I stop getting them if I visit a thread without clicking the email reminder link.

Like, it will send notification, I will visit the thread, that's fine. But if I see another thread that I follow and visit that, I will then stop getting notifications for that thread until I click an email notification for it.

Ah I don’t mean whole thread notifications, I mean if someone replies to my message within a thread.
It was working fine, stopped in the last few weeks I think.

Hmm, what email provider do you use? Got any control over antispam? Did something change?

Double flagging because I love being a snitch.
I'm always conflicted because I feel like people should be given a chance to change their mind. Then I remember that it's not worth the energy.

I'd already got bored of it and closed it. If VB wants to reopen it he's welcome to but I will not be engaging in any antivax debates as there's simply no debate.

Yahoo. Nothing’s being flagged as spam, it’s not coming through at all. Nothing has changed. Strange!

Just boggles the mind how many lufgussers will happily engage with these toxic pricks. It’s clear from the very start that they’re here in bad faith to sow misinformation (‘scamdemic’ ffs) yet some wide-eyed little lambs think ‘oh, here’s someone I can have an illuminating debate with’, as if they’ve never been on the internet before.

@Velocio is it time for the hambanner?

Agree with the ban and nuke everything.

My suspicion here isn't that the account was originally crazy, but that the account was compromised... very old account, likely old credentials and leaked multiple times, and they eventually found a website that the credentials worked on, and that this was a Russian content farm doing their usual sowing of discord... they must be frustrated everyone is leaving Twitter and that makes that less effective.

Have nuked it all

Cheers bossperson

Don't talk about my 3 wives that way. They're saving me 5 million a year by being a tax deductable in the Bahamas or something

Tin foil group buy?

Oh. WOW.

Megalols.

everything bad is Russias fault is it?

There's certainly a case to be made.

Wake up people

'Drink!'

No my account "lessmann" hadn't been compromised or taken over by a Russian bot farm. What a stupid assumption

It was the charitable assumption.

The uncharitable assumption is that you believe in what you're saying, and if you do, x.com already exists for you.

" "papers please""

@Mickie_Cricket good ride title

Nuked the newer lessman account.

This is basically going to be a hard ban and nuking constantly... because I will not stand for conspiracy theories, vaccine denial, and all manner of disinformation[1] being actively spread on here. I will not accept legal liability for it as admin of the community. I will not accept the social implications of others thinking this was acceptable.

Further, I won't accept being called a nazi by someone who is peddling vaccine denial and arguing that everyone is accepting govt propaganda.

Everyone has some degree of right to free speech... you can go to x.com and apparently say anything you want there, or set up your own website and say whatever you want on there. I'm not obliged to provide a platform for conspiracy theories and vaccine denial.

This stuff is batshit crazy[2], and it's not welcome on here at all, and does not reflect the community standards.

[1] Clearly with the exception of disinformation about stuck bottom bracket removal, that stuff is more entertaining... Brick Lane Bikes has an angle grinder whenever you're ready.

[2] COVID pun intended.

Has the whole functional bikes thread been deleted?

And if so, could we do the same to the gravel thread?

Unless I was drunker than I thought, I don't recall any thread deletions.

Just buy a Crux, bro!

Who started that thread? It wasn’t lessman was it?

Can someone tell me what the community standards are please? Are they documented somewhere?
