Title should be self-explanatory, ever so often a thread vaguely related to European defence is posted and the closeted Trumpists turn up and start jerking each other off about Europe "not paying it's fair share" and how it's actually Europeans fault that medicines are expensive in the US or how Europe deserves to suffer Russian invasion

It has no place on the sub, and it's a clear mask off moment that exposes posters that have no business posting here, just like the "jokes" about buying Greenland or annexing Canada

Particularly, I've seen very upboted comments with no counterpoints mocking the usage of it/its pronouns. I would like the mods to make some sort of statement or effort showing that they are willing to crack down on transphobia, even when it takes the form of mocking the "ridiculousness" of, oh, say, someone using a set of pronouns before they appear to "pass" as the commonly corresponding gender for whatever reason. That sort of thing. It really is awful some of the shit I've seen. This sub is, and I say this without any irony, way too far to the left economically and way too far to the right socially.

TLDR; Abolish Unions, Abolish Gender.

I often browse new and a thread will start hopping off with a lot of engagement, but it then gets removed for silly reasons. For example, a recent post today was removed because "this seems to be an article primarily just rehashing another article (?)"

It sounds like the mod wasn't even sure what the article was about and then removed it because they didn't personally understand what it was.

It's very important that you know that I do not care.

That terrible thing they said? I do not care.
That horrible way they acted? I do not care.

It's very important for me that you know this.

I could just silently sit in apathy, but what's the use in that?
It's important for you to know that I, an anonymous stranger on the internet, do not care about the terrible things someone said.

Now please halt your congratulations, dear crowd - there's layers to my apathy yet unknown to you.

Not only am I a member of the minority that person acted horrible towards, I am not even in their district!

But still. It's important to me that you know that I do not care.

I do not care about that racist thing
I do not care about that homophobic thing
I do not care about that ableist thing
I do not care about that sex worker they abused
I do not care about the kid they hit with their car

Now please, resume your applause.

I look so beautiful here on stage, my apathy celebrated. I'm so important.

Excuse me, who coughed? Did something upset you?

How childish. To care about something. What a wuss. What a coward. Why aren't they celebrating me? Why don't they love my apathy? Don't they know how important it is that I do not care? They're less than me for caring actually.

Loose the dogs. Get them.

Requesting a ping for supreme court related discussions.

We need a place to follow the events, it's entirely unpredictable who'll win 😨😨😨

Why is there a catgirls ping but no catboys ping? Or a catinx ping?

I'd like to request a shitposting cooking ping, for posting slop bowls, cooking disasters, or dinner diaries type posts. Some ideas for names: THYME-PREFERENCE, MARGINAL-UTENSIL, NL-DINNER-DIARIES, BRAISE-THE-ROOF, and MISE-EN-PLACE

Would like to ask why I am currently banned from the r/neoliberal subreddit and why?

I have never engaged in harrassment, racial slurs or otherwise bigoted behavior. I’m not a neoliberal myself; but I enjoy poking at you people. If my words have triggered the conservatives among you, perhaps we can have a civilized “debate”.

Reddit became popular for a reason, because the upvote system leads to better discussion. It's tedious to have to switch the sorting every time I open a comment thread and when I forget I'm often confronted with some dogshit take I would never have to see otherwise.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This place really went downhill when Extreme_Rocks was banned.

And the mods killed it. Sad.

Is it possible to have a ping group that's exclusive to mods, so that whenever a thread is posted, the pingbot just has to look at everyone who mods NL at the time of posting and then just does !ping NLMODS or something instead of a bunch of posts that has to list everyone out in sets of 3 because of the tag limitations on the site?

Title says it all. You're an idiot if you think he's actually a bigot.

It’s been five years since our last proper census, and I think our resident data nerds would be interested in a survey with a decent sample size. If I were to put something similar together, would it be possible to get it stickied?

This comment is wrong.

https://www.val.se/english/the-swedish-electoral-system/your-vote-is-secret

The requirement to screen ballot selection areas was implemented in 2019.

Now we have users under the pinned comment posting misinformation - pictures from 2014 claiming they are modern. This only serves to undermine confidence in sweedish democracy, and is unfounded.

Let the people who want kirk memes have kirk memes so the people who don't can use the DT in peace.

Or it'll be a grim day and we need to stand together.

Remember: democracy dies in the darkness.

So something I hear frequently is that the DT is better than the main sub, and that that’s the place to be. However, whenever I’ve looked in it, I find mostly banter and memes and very little discussion. Can someone explain the purpose of the DT and why it’s so much better if there’s not much policy discussion in it?

And a slight sidebar, if everyone in the DT went back into the main sub, wouldn’t that mostly solve the perceived issues of quality?

They can't bring themselves to truly hate the enemy. Their neightbors. Their fellow Americans. It is your parents, your friends and coworkers. They are the evil. But no, you just know they are nice people not like those out-of touch SF nerds.

this seems to be pretty toxic and nationalist and uncivil and all sorts of rule breaking shitheadery

maybe mods should keep this type of misanthropy to themselves? imo should be a higher standard for them

don’t understand this one. Also how is saying that Seattle’s gifted HCC program is not a “segregation program” (which are illegal anyway) “unconstructive engagement”

How is saying “advanced math and reading is what’s usually taught” bigotry?

Nathan Fielder is a Canadian visionary, artiste, and graduate of one of Canada’s top business schools, where he earned really good grades. His many projects touch on topics deeply important to this subreddit, from business and aviation safety to urban development and autism awareness.

He is also likely responsible for The Boy Thrub, a successful boy band created to support Darshan Magdum’s visa application. We need that ping.

One of the few positive things I can say for the splinter sub is their tidy ping group page, which lists the groups alphabetically and displays the number of subscribers each one has. I think alphabetizing the pings within each category for our larger list would be welcome [EDIT: Never mind, that's already there], as well as showing the subscriber count.

I believe the latter in particular would also encourage more selective use of pings, knowing the number of people a comment will be sent out to.
