for background, I shaved my forearms for practicing methods of shaving my legs. low-key a mistake, don’t think id recommend shaving arms lol
I picked up a pizza after getting a shower and to dry out my hair faster I didn’t turn on the AC, was in a hot car in Florida for like 5m while it cooked and this is what happened. Pretty cool!
Edit: also it’s interesting to visualize how much water is lost when you sweat
Wait… How old are you? And where did you go to school? (Country)
Probably the USA…
That’s by far the pettiest shit I’ve seen today.
Banning someone for a sidebar rule violation? You’re lucky to be so privileged - most of us have to deal with far, far worse behavior from people. And those of us in positions of authority, such as moderators and instance admins, have to do so with tact. I’d envy you if I had the time.
Have a day. 🫱
… How is this “hatred”?
This is the comment that got the user banned.
The contempt and hostility of the comment and the fact that it targets an entire demographic were the specific criteria which cost the user their membership here. Further, allowing it sets precedent for more such comments in the future. I’m not willing to tacitly endorse it by letting the user go with a warning.
Does that make sense?
Your sidebar rule explicitly talks about “hatred”. But I don’t see that at all in this comment. At worst it’s a critique of the US education system, which at this point I don’t think either side of the political spectrum is really happy with. It’s also well-known that the state of education differs greatly between US states.
If he commented something along the lines of “Probably the USA, because you have to be a moron not to know this”, I could see your point. But they didn’t. They didn’t even pass any value judgment about Americans at all.
It could even be a sarcastic reply, because the OP also posted what state they were from, so they “probably /s” are from the US.
I think you’re making a lot of assumptions about this user and their mindset when they wrote this comment. As you’ve seen from the immense feedback you got, the vast majority of users heavily disagree with you that they violated the sidebar rule. Being too heavy-handed on the moderation damages communities, it does not protect them.
In my opinion, this user should have been let off with a warning, and the comment should have stayed up because it requires a very subjective reading for it to come close to violating the sidebar rule. Alternatively you could have issued a warning and removed the comment if you want to err on the side of (excessive) caution. But a full ban was not appropriate.
Unsure if you’re referring to me or not but I’m from the UK :]
No I was referring to the OP, who stated they’re from Florida. Sorry if that was unclear.
No worries.
Banned from my instance. Please be a better person
peak Lemmy world behavior
They violated front page sidebar rules of my instance, so I banned them. What part of the process do you disagree with?

Please stay on topic, this won’t take long.

i disagree with your priorities in life and the degree to which minute power makes you feel large
My priorities in life have nothing to do with this discussion. The topic is penalty for a sidebar rule violation. Please focus. Why do you disagree that banning someone for violating the rules of my instance should result in a ban?
