can you name one?

You do realise me eating meats means the world has to produce more meat right?

that’s not causal

if I and all other vegans started eating meat, they’d need to produce even more

there is no reason to believe more could have been produced than already was.

oh so you mean [not what you said]

this is the definition of bad faith. just report it.

according to this, we are producing more meat than ever

which farm farmed less because of you?

Trolling doesn’t mean “harsh language.”

… right. that’s incivility.

Trolling is the infuriating nonsense that makes reasonable people reach for harsh language.

what is the criteria when clear incivility is justified?

It is cheaper to be vegan.

for some people

it makes sense to limit meat consumption to limit suffering.

if your goal is to limit suffering, and limiting meat consumption had any effect on that, it would make sense. but eating meat doesn’t cause suffering. so like… don’t worry about it.

this is really good feedback. maybe a client could be developed for mods, that would do client side sorting.

obviously I can’t tell a mod what to do, but I think they should keep the channel open.

does the moderation backend need sorting and batch tools? it should not be arduous to moderate a flame war.

it’s my feeling, and I’m open to disagreeing about this, that it should be encouraged to report bad behavior, and the only use of the report button i would characterized as “abuse” is something like actual automated spam or opening a users page and reporting everything regardless of content or context.

being wrong about whether content does or should break community standards should not be a bannable offense.

a full 1/4 of all cattle never spend more than 45 days in a cafo, but even those that do don’t necessarily have the conditions you are describing, nor do they live there their entire lives

it’s their hardware.

banning people for reporting seems like a way to discourage reporting.

but banning for flaming and trolling sounds reasonable, especially if it’s a short ban. even a 6 or 12 hour ban might send the right message.

but you just said that you went vegan, and they didn’t reduce. the evidence does not support your theory.
