this "common knowledge" "weight loss" stuff typically neglects how dieting will affect ur caloric rate.
if u just starve urself, ur muscles will grow smaller and u will need fewer calories to maintain ur normal functioning body, meaning u need to eat even less again to not put on fat.
but if u train ur muscles directly, they will beg for more calories so they can grow, and the calories needed to maintain them will also increase.
for anyone interested, i suggest reading a physical education by casey johnston.

no, unfortunately i also havent seen a discussion about this happening. i thought about opening a discussion post in div_0 governance, but im too busy with other shit rn.
i see. still, i think this post doesnt show strong enough evidence of this abuse of authority actually happening.
as others in this thread have also criticized, most of the modlogs shown here can be explained with "uncivil language/death threats" lead to bans, with likely some zionist tendencies exacerbating the issue (its a german instance after all). dont get me wrong, i understand the issue with civility politics, but a mod who bans someone for making a death threat is not necessarily an ideologically convinced zionist who abuses their power to suppress any anti-zionist sentiment whatsoever. and if the abuse of power is real, it should be trivial to show more "civil" anti-zionist comments that were banned instead of the ones that were calling for someones suicide.
if it could be shown more convincingly that feddit mods will ban any pro-palestinian sentiment outright, i might actually agree to ban communities or defederate

are u saying that these are mutually exclusive?
that ppl who oppose genocide can do no wrong?
im not necessarily against insulting fascists, but i dont think its particularly effective at anything but escalating tensions. can be good at making ppl feel shame for expressing such beliefs, but that doesnt always have to be the case

I understand that some people want to still see them so they can "refute their bullshit" but let's be honest, when has that ever worked?
the thing is that u cannot know what impact it has. mainly my perspective is, i agree that theyre unlikely to change their mind, but its not a 1:1 talk. u appeal to the audience, not the fascists themselves.
therefore, if i could choose between a world where fascist talking points are never refuted or one where they are refuted but never convince the fascists, id still choose the latter.
add to this that u will never flip someones beliefs 180° in one comment thread on the internet. but this does not mean it doesnt plant seeds of doubt that will grow with time. this has worked in the past, it just isnt as flashy and immediate as we expect it to be

i completely agree. im typically made aware of an issue at the same time as my ability to decide on what should be done is reduced to: "this specific action (i.e. banning these communities)" or "inaction".
maybe itd be better to first make a sticky announcement titled "[discussion] how should we deal with zionists on feddit communities" that involves ppl discussing options and providing possible proposals. these proposals could then be sorted by popularity and individually voted on until one has a certain % majority.
idk how proposals are made at the moment. as i understand it, a mod just comes up with an idea and then proposes it. maybe they discuss a little with the other mods first. but ive seen many votes before this one with far better proposals given in the comments that of course were never considered bc at that point it was already too late.

I don't know if I have a vote, but a big nay from me on this one. 🐎
i believe u need to downvote the post and write a comment for ur vote to be recorded.
the bot should then reply to ur comment with an image corresponding to ur "voting type/level".

huh i read it completely different in their expression. one on the right looks super excited and happy, while the one on the left looks calm but a litle annoyed
What I propose is a three/five strikes system for external users with a relatively gentle warning message with some good links like someone already proposed here. Probably a little thing in German to get the attention of those with Nazi baggage who are completely delusional and intentionally ignoring reality.
merz always looks the same in pictures and it fascinates me. it is the face of someone who has little idea whats going on, but who has gotten quite far with acting absolutely confident in whatever they say.
its the same vibes ive seen from many managers who will speak abt the most complex unknowns with the utmost confidence. not because they know what theyre doing, but because admitting they cant be sure seems like an admission of weakness.
my guess would be that those loyal customers are the least likely to leave, so u can squeeze as much as u like out of them.
new customers u wanna attract more of, so treat them better and they will come to u.
those who leave and come back for the discount are probably not a meaningful enough size for a company to even think about.
Or even worst, the elderly?
id say this is definitely an effect of this behaviour, but i doubt its intentional. a company doesnt care abt anything but profits, so they dont care abt the impact of their actions beyond that
