Political Referendum !!Celestia ##Admin 11/14/20 (Sat) 02:16:56 No.6963 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

...My dear little ponies. It has been a long time since we last discussed, in earnest, the topic of politics on /pony/, and on Ponyville as a whole.

Last time we talked, the mandate of the users was that we were too lenient with politics as it created conflict which broke rules on the site.

This caused our enforcement policy to learn towards moving all politics to townhall, and being quite strict about politics on /pony/.

It seems though that many users are feeling unhappy with this policy.

As the times change, so too do opinions, and we should not hold today's policy if it's based on yesterday's opinions.

So, i think, let us discuss, and ultimately let us vote, on what direction we think the site should go in, with regards to how politics are handled.

Open discussion/total free speech? Even stricter? Censorship?

It should be, ultimately, your decision, as a community.

Such a well thought out, well organized, post, Thorax.

Much of this initiative in so far as it comes to adjusting internal policy for moderation here comes directly from Thorax's mind, and we all have him to thank for it.

We shall still be holding a referendum, with which to provide information and context to help inform us as staff of your expectations as users.

That said, i think putting everyone on the same page, and making it clear that we are going to be exercising necessary authority to enforce our policies in the future will help a great deal

in so doing, maybe by reining in some of the more anarchic tendencies of the site, everyone will feel more comfortable and happy

Not all mentions of the president are verboten. There was a thread on /pony/ about Trump getting COVID-19. What isn't allowed is making political statements that people with opposing politics views will find inflammatory.

Such as the president elect.

Thank you for the example that unequal protection is still happening around here.

This is kinda not very funny, Chain. It seems im willing to put all my friendships on the fire over this. Irrational, but if you value mine you will agree that i have been unfairly prevented from discussing a topic based 100% on Mr Sunglasses name. I kinda need your buy-in on this one if you dont want me to feel like you are genuinely enjoying my humiliation. Im not feeling wanted in these parts. It might be my last post.

Edit: that image is so great i can die now
Also i want to remind that you inspired me to follow this path. If i post a pure "joe biden" thread on /pony it will prove that you have 1 less person to talk to around here because im about one wisp short of a perma rn as it is. Dont make me prove that the name alone is enough.

Shit i said the fucking name. Noooooooo

No matter how happy anyone is that their candidate won and the other lost, these threads are about a political victory. There are rules, and they exist to prevent things which would certainly occur if the threads were not locked

Fighting, insults, toxic and abusive behavior

Your reaction to your thread being removed is reason enough to believe you would not be entirely reasonable if someone with an opposing viewpoint were to present themselves

While i kinda did do that on /canterlot, for which i can be properly sanctioned, i dont think Manley did in his thread on /pony.

Just because i cant control myself doesnt mean others cant and i felt Manleys thread was pretty ok and no one acted out before it was cancelled.

I just cant give up the belief that we can all get along. Even if i cant live up to that. I cant be wrong about that. Cant. You guys are fucking better.

People have heard more than enuf of what i have to say. Im just becoming redundant. Hope this works out. We should not have to let the new free world leader be ab elephant in the room just to get along. We are not enemies.

I am not allowed to post a goddam Ya-Hoo when the electorate replaces a raving madman with a human being?

It is NOT /pol/ to say i am fucking grateful that decendants of slaves love this country enough to stand up for their rights. And mine.

A discussion can take a little Cubans-voted-against-socialism razzing from Boat, who wasn't wrong: its important to understand the difference between socialism and totalitarianism, by stating an example how victims vote for their own oppression because of a misapplied label.

Pretty sure slapping down multiple threads celebrating democracy constitutes egregious lack of free speech. Which is the opposite of what this Moony-owned site is about.

We're not enemies here. Lets stop treating us like we can't act like it, shall we, Big Brother?

>If pointing out bad-faith argument is disparaging
Of course it is disparaging to accuse someone of (making an argument in bad faith)! If you want to say that someone's argument is flawed, that's fine. But if you claim that someone deliberately made a flawed argument and tried to pass it off as a good argument, yeah, that's going to make the person mad.

At least when it is not purposely to cause trouble.

For linked reply, I see user got a warning, but I think the reply wasn't out of line.

For the record, can moderation read the final post and react only if it is out of line?
Or you can correct me if I'm wrong here.

Well, then you can use those places for your degeneracy fix. Here that's not acceptable. The rules can be distilled down to the basic concept of don't be a complete fucking asshole. If you want to be an asshole you can at least have the decency to try to be enjoyable to be around while doing so. Part of that here is refraining from using words that have a history steeped in degrading other people.

To be blunt, I'm not terribly impressed with the sort of folks who stomp into an established online community just to try and stir shit for the lulz. It's gotten banal.

You know how on the holidays you guys (mod team) can set like a song playing when you open the main page?

Well what if users could set a song for their thread? Like, you open a thread and a song starts to play?

Obviously you would probably want an option in the settings to turn it off, but I thought that would be kind of fun.

I don’t know. I’ve wrote this out a few times, and many other, often less mature alternatives, but each attempt ends up being more autistic than the last.

TL;DR I’ve became extremely depressed over the past few days because of not necessarily this, but what it means for me. This place and ponychan opened up a whole new chapter of my life, and took me from someone who was completely socially isolated, to someone with friendships from places like this that have lasted for just over a year, and a girlfriend that’s lasted just under half a year up until now. I feel like, having been banned from this site and essentially 90% of ponychan that I’m being re-isolated.

Although I’ve successfully managed to work my way into other communities since then, taking the lessons from this one and ponychan that I had to learn the hard way due to my previous isolation. I feel like if I’m banned and was to hypothetically also get banned from all of ponychan that I could move on and adjust, but that doesn’t demonise the importance of places like this to me.

Over my two month ban I read a few left wing books, and watched some podcasts and videos out of a sense of intellectual curiosity, but naturally I wasn’t convinced. I think my convictions have just became too strong for anything to be able to convince me to leave them behind at this point. Although while my beliefs haven’t and aren’t going to change my personality over the past year and 3 months since I started posting on ponychan has changed radically, and I feel that in the past two months I’ve learned that places like this are more important to me than winning arguments.

This isn’t an apology, I still feel that my ban was unjustified, and my beliefs aren’t changing, however I understand that regardless of how “true” or “right” my perspective may be, most people won’t accept it, and if I want to be accepted in these circles I have to learn to essentially shut my mouth. I’ll still seethe at your opinions through bared teeth, but I think I now have the sense to not open my mouth about them.

>especially when its about how you are making them feel,
I think I just need to accept that feeling are subjective, and therefore that other people’s feelings that conflict with mine aren’t wrong, they’re just different, and I don’t need to make a big deal of that.

Yeah, this is me asking for it to be locked right now.

Also I suggest you read that LessWrong sequence on fake beliefs I linked earlier:

Many people hold many 'beliefs' that actually more like cheering for a sports team (or booing the opposing sports team) than proper beliefs.

Maybe we should tidy up /canterlot? lp 01/23/20 (Thu) 20:11:36 No.6402 [Reply]

With its soils recently turned over its an embarassing mess. Srsly.

Maybe somebody should decide which should be moved to /arch (or /rock) and purge this board? Make a fresh start of it?
