Mod accounts are typically created specifically to be mods. I did the same thing. They asked me to be a mod from my lemmy.one account and I thought it was weird to be modding lemmy.world from lemmy.one so I spun up this account and it was made a mod.

Same thing happened with another mod (who has now been de-modded). That was a legit case of PTB where they started making unilateral changes to the community without consulting the other mods.

Ignorant is insulting other users in a community that explicitly forbids it.

Stupid is failing to take the hint, doubling down and earning a temp ban, and then going after the mod in PMs.

Let me ask you a question... You've seen sports, right? I mean, maybe not as a fan or anything, but you've seen basketball, football, baseball, games, right? Even a tennis match?

You ever, once, see someone yell and scream at a ref and have the ref go "You know, you make a salient point, I changed my mind."? No. You know why? Because then EVERYONE will do it.

First, not the mod who removed it.

Second, they weren't quoting Jefferson to be quoting Jefferson, they were MANGLING Jefferson so they could make a call for violence.

The full quote:

https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/tree-liberty-quotation/

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."

Removed quote:

"The Tree of Liberty needs watered from the blood of patriots and tyrants from time to time. I fear we are there."

Saying "I fear we are there" is a direct call to violence, it's not in the OG quote and that's why it got removed.

You're not wrong, but we don't allow editorialized headlines. If you fix it, I'll restore it.

A GREAT game to play with kids is called "Stacking". Looks like there's a Linux version so you might be able to get it running on the Pi:

The gag is this...

You play the smallest of a set of Russian nesting dolls and you want to re-unite with your family.

In order to do that you have to solve a bunch of puzzles in a world filled with other Russian nesting dolls.

You can jump into any doll one size larger than you, and you can jump out to be one size smaller.

Each doll has a specific skill or ability, so by swapping bodies, you use the various skills to solve the puzzles.

The challenge is, you might find one that has the right skill, but you're too small to jump into them, so you have to find the right chain of dolls to size up and size down to do what you need to do.

Not at home, but I had a job that shared a parking lot with a movie theater. "Oh, off work, I don't want to go home yet... hey, Independence Day is still playing..."

I must have seen that dozens of times in the theater.

!politics@lemmy.world is exclusively US politics, so you'd want to block that one.

Well, define "Reasonably Priced". I dig the Steam Deck for that kind of thing.

Nope, traffic is good, it's mostly just everyone wants to fixate on Israel and Ukraine.
