  • I really think it is quite unfortunate how much grad/hex tainted communism. I’m not a communist, but I was open to good discussions about it, particularly because I know it’s important to look at the flaws in your own systems.

    Now? I’m scarred. I can’t just assume a post js something posted by someone I could probably agree with after a discussion.

    I assume something similar has happened to other users. It’s unfortunately hard to grant someone the grace of assume they aren’t a tankie when you know they’re out there. I feel your pain and I’m sorry. I also don’t know how any of us can change now.


















  • It is simply not possible for me to read through all of this. Wish I could.

    But it sounds like your harassing someone for taking positions that you feel are contradictory, when they are not. And your taking great pains to justify why it’s ok to harass this person.

    Spoiler, it’s not justified. EDIT: Spent 30 minutes trying to read through everything linked in the post including: The original article The original hexbear post Jessica’s linkedin Her Atlantic Council bio (an failed attempt to find) the original linked CIA document

    Have some questions/comments/summary

    1. In general, do people here feel as though the noted content moderation policy (“Do not post content that encourages, glorifies, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm against an individual or a group of people; likewise, do not post content that glorifies or encourages the abuse of animals.”) is wrong, unfair, or incorrectly implemented?
    2. I can understand the plausibility that she was made a CEO of reddit by the CIA, but I’m curious if anyone opinions about her would actually change if it was somehow ‘knew’ that she was not - I ask because it feels (to me) as though the actions she took could have reasonably been taken by someone who wasn’t a CIA plant, which to me should affect the thought process
    3. I can 100% understand blocking posts on a job-related website that disparage your work, and I think it would be unreasonable to expect otherwise. Like… legit. Does anyone think it would be reasonable to keep disparaging posts on your linkedin bio? Just not the vibe.
    4. I know some of you do really try to read all context for posts replying, but do all of you? Like, if I posted something here, and important context was basically a book… would you really try to read it all before replying? Is that the standard y’all hold yourselves to?
    5. Even assuming The Atlantic Council is a CIA firm, I still find it reasonably plausible that the CIA did not put her in the role - her roles for The Atlantic counsel feel like a natural fit for a content moderation team executive, and (per what I said in #2) it doesn’t feel like she made any decisions that a CIA plant would have been much more likely to have made.

    Thank you to those who have been kind in this process of me doing the research, and spending the effort to make this edit.
