    Unless the amount of reports outweigh the amount of upvotes that this post was given, then you are not ruling by democratic choice. You’re just capitulating to a minority of loud users which makes me trust you all even less.

    Just because reports are made do not mean they are correct. Your job as a moderator is to look at the report and judge whether or not it actually lines up with the rules. If you do not personally believe that this lines up with the rules, then it is your job as a moderator to discuss with the other moderators whether or not you believe that it does. If you just immediately go, okay, well, I better listen to the three or four people who have reported this, then that doesn’t really demonstrate any faith in you guys as a moderator, because it proves that if somebody with multiple different accounts comes in and reports the same thing multiple times, you guys are willing to go off and listen to them. Your own system is too flawed to be reliable. It is too weighted to be fair. I do not trust this system of running a community.

    What you just described is not a system run by the community. It is a community that is run by the minority.

    Listen… I don’t think you really get to call me silly here when you’re reasoning for marking this post as NSFW was the imagery it conjures up in your head is NSFW and therefore should be tagged. Mainly because you can only get that from THE WORD. Unless your argument is that the mental imagery would have been just as NSFW with the word lips.

    Like I said. I am not marking this NSFW. You can feel free to remove this if you wish, but I will not mark this. It is your community, you’re the one who is allowed to decide on what you want done here. But your decisions also decide on whether or not I want to stay. And after several different inconsistent and confusing situations. I no longer know what the hell this community wants, so I don’t want to be here. I’m not trying to be a dick. I’m not trying to be antagonistic. I’m not trying to be hostile. I’m just trying to be a user who actually stands by his principles. You are free to stand by yours as well.






  • A full mask replacement for me would be about $200. A hose replacement for me would be about $100. A tank replacement would also be about $100.

    I can’t sanitize these things back into use unfortunately. The hose is starting to show extreme degradation from multiple years of use, as well as a cat chewing on it. The tank is starting to show signs of rust and I can’t imagine that that is going to be a great thing for me to be breathing in. So I can’t be using that for too much longer. The entire mask also needs to be replaced because the front face plate is cracked and I cannot order a replacement face plate. I’m looking at $400 to $500. All of which would do nothing to replace the issue of it tasting like plastic because for whatever reason, that is coming from inside of the machine itself.

    I may just die.


  • No, that would require being able to afford new supplies. I swapped out the nasal pillows about six or seven months ago. The headgear gets swapped out about three or four months ago. The hose and the tub have been used for the past three to four years. Machine itself is 10 years old and I’ve never had anyone ever look at it. Filters I can actually change out a bit.

    Then remove the post. The word ‘foreskin’ being marked as NSFW while the word ‘testicles’ is posted by another moderator is genuinely the line for me. Y’all aren’t consistent amongst yourselves.

    I also take quite a bit of issue with you saying that it requires no effort to mark it as NSFW, therefore I should have done it. The ease at which I could have done it is irrelevant. My issue comes from the fact that you guys are not consistent with asking things to be marked to NSFW and that some of the requests made therein make absolutely no sense. For example, if the word for skin is something that needs to be marked as NSFW, does the word fuck? What about shit?

    I can get marking a post as NSFW if the entire post is a chastity cage. I think it’s fucking stupid asking me to do so when all of the chastity cages look nothing like a chastity cage and look like Pokemon, which was the entire point of the joke but whatever. I understand a little less when the chastity cage is very tiny and is lined up against a bunch of other monopoly pieces. But I cannot fathom any position in which the word foreskin would have to be marked as NSFW, while the rest of the posts on this community would be allowed. literally cannot come up with any situation in which the word foreskin in and of itself needs to be marked as NSFW while the rest of the community is allowed to run rampant with profanity.

    This level of micromanagement is bothersome. It also leaves me in a position where I do not know what you guys as moderators want because you have too many cooks in the kitchen. You’re not able to be consistent with the things that you want this community to do, which means that I as a poster, do not know what you want, which means I as a poster will no longer be posting on this community anymore.

    all that is expected, is that when asked, you will mark your post as nsfw.

    No. I am not blindly obedient to requests. I am not a bot. I am a human being with my own opinions and the opinion at the moment is that the request to mark this as NSFW is ridiculous. I am not catering to the 3 people who think that foreskin is such an offensive word that it cannot be seen in public. If the mods are insistent that this post requires an NSFW tag then they can remove it. I am done deleting it but I am also done posting to this community. Multiple mods giving me multiple requests with multiple consistencies leaving me WILDLY confused. It’s not worth my effort to continue posting here when I’m going to have to go back and change my own criteria for posting to this community every week.

    No, it’s more a stance of complete and utter disagreement. This is the third experience that I’ve had in as many weeks in an NSFW request on a post. The first one I disagreed with slightly, but could completely understand the request and also where they were coming from. The second one I disagreed with could understand it a bit less but could still see it to some extent. The word foreskin being something that needs to be marked as NSFW is, for me, ridiculous. I have deleted posts in the past instead of marking them as NSFW when requested and I think I’m just going to stop posting to this community instead. Partially because I don’t agree with this. Mostly because every single request so far has had me thinking that I don’t even understand what this community is trying to do.

    I do not think anything less of the moderators, I am not angry at anyone here, I am not trying to insult anyone, I am not trying to push ill will in any way whatsoever. But. I am more confused in trying to figure out what to post here than I am anywhere else on Lemmy because the tone seems to be inconsistent. Whether that is through certain posts being marked as NSFW and other ones not, or certain comments being made by moderators that feel like they should apply to the same rules, but don’t. A moderator made a post within the last hour that has the words testicles written in it. That is not marked NSFW. So why does the word foreskin require it?

    I’m just confused and I don’t really want to post somewhere where I’m constantly confused. I think I’m done with this community.

    … Because of the word foreskin? Are you kidding me? There’s been a post on this community for a full day of someone with massive cleavage pulling the panties off of someone else that isn’t marked NSFW but I need to for the word foreskin?

    Edit: Been a good run 196. Take care. I’m out.
