Please NSFW this for people who are specifically trying to avoid images of someone getting killed.

interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml · 44 pts · 346d (3 replies)

/u/dessalines I would suggest that community consensus should be able to apply the NSFW tag without poster or moderator intervention.

I think some "moderation actions" should be better crowdsourced beyond simple upvote/downvote system, to offload the burden on moderators who can then, only review community consensus actions, rather than perform all actions themselves and have to view and decide everything. One example of this is the "community notes" of Xitter. I think there is a lot of opportunity for improvement compared with the shadowy and unaccountable ways that moderation is usually performed on social media.

antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 346d (2 replies)

Yeah, you could keep usual moderators as the basis and ultimate arbiters, but it would be, at the very least, interesting to try your approach. E.g., anyone can check the mod queue and be randomly assigned to moderate a recently reported post, and to avoid abuse or mistakes it could require 2 or 3 people agreeing on how to resolve something.

interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 346d

I would also like to see most moderation actions, be a filter applied client side and under full control of the user. Moderation becomes a "default view" of the consensus, that users are not forced to abide.

After that, we can have client side ability to ignore certain user's moderation action based on their account history and history of reliable judgment and the user could decide how much weight to give to various actors in the ecosystem

Community sourced moderation seems sooo in line with Fediverse ideals! And would probably go a long way avoiding mod burnout and avoid cases like lemm.ee's

People can care about school shootings while also not wanting to see a dying body and someone's bloody gunshot wound randomly appear on their timeline when they're just trying to look at some fucking memes.

This is like if I started filling your timeline with random snuff films and gore videos, and when you complained, went "OH you don't like this? Well the human trafficking victims used in these videos didn't either."

Deranged way to respond to someone who asked that a post be flagged as NSFW for people who don’t want see footage of someone being killed. Do you think anyone wouldn’t ask for footage of the school shooting to also be marked NSFW?

Go hang out in gore communities if the best reason you have to shove images of death in peoples’ faces is “victims also had to see it.” Seeing shit like that regularly is incredibly psychologically damaging, and you have no idea what other people are dealing with when they scroll across something real and violent like this.

Talk to a therapist if you think shoving these images in the faces of people who don’t want to see it is normal.

Ngl, the fact that a 9/11’s worth of people were dying every fucking day, just in the US, during the peak of Covid, and one entire fucking half of our country was just shitposting and TRYING to spread it more entirely reframed 9/11 for me. Before, it was A Serious Thing. Now… well, I have put on my absurdism glasses.

I'm glad to see this, I feel like all Americans should have to come to some personal terms about the 9/11 worth of daily COVID deaths that half the country were just casually ok with. I prefer existentialism to nihilism as a response to the absurdity of the world, since nihilism is just going to trap us in a cycle of resigned apathy, but a little self-reflection is preferred either way.

And related to the 9/11 comparison: amazing how there was no reckoning about how hundreds of thousands of those cumulative deaths were attributable to Trump's mishandling. From that standpoint, we elected Osama bin Laden times a thousand to be president, after he took down the twin towers.

30.06 to the fucking neck. For those not in the know, that's for taking a deer, through everything, lungs and heart. Considered a humane way to drop a medium-sized animal instantly. No pain. The shockwave is astonishing. Kirk's brain and spinal column were shut down, he felt nothing, had no idea anything happened. He was "disconnected".

My FIL shot a deer from front to back with that same round. He was so horrified seeing that animal ripple, never hunted again. I'm no hunter, but I feel him. I have my own reasons for not hunting.

Or, you're living in WWII and shooting Nazis, which we see here. Get fucking used to it. This will be a sight on your own block soon enough. Take my AR? Aight. I'll break out the 30.06.

Most gunshot deaths are exactly like this, with less spurting. Early internet, I saw a Mexican college kid protesting. Took a 12-gauge, 00-buck, straight to the chest, 12". He merely looked surprised, little blood bloomed on his shirt, dropped straight down.

It's not Hollywood, people flying backwards through plate-glass windows. Nah. People simply drop on the spot, sack of potatoes. No drama. Simply dead. Early cowboy movies caught grief because the actors would simply drop when shot. That's how it works.

I know most of y'all aren't shooters. Here's my poor joke on the difference in AR-15 rounds vs. 30.06. Charlie was hit with a fucking cannon.

peoplebeproblems@midwest.social · 9 pts · 346d

I thought it was a .30-06. A .223 could do that at 200 yards, but the way it took him out looked almost identical to a good killshot on a deer. And the .30-06 was designed for much longer ranges than a .223.

Hunted a bit growing up. My guess is, if you hit a human pretty much anywhere above the thighs with .30-06, they're not going to live through it. The hydrostatic shock is devastating and the exit wound is significant.

If the round was armor piercing, .30-06 has enough force to go through a car engine block.

mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 14 pts · 345d (1 reply)

In times like this, fascists will work to weaponize empathy. They’ll say you’re an awful person if you don’t feel bad about it. They’ll say you’re awful for shit-talking, because you lack empathy. In reality, demanding empathy from the victims of fascism is another violence against the victims that those fascists actively work to oppress.

Fascists have mastered the act of shooting and crying, then using empathy (or more specifically, the lack thereof) to demonize the same people they have been shooting at. They begin by oppressing people. When those oppressed people eventually refuse to show empathy for the fascists, the fascists claim that the people they have been shooting at are monsters. And that is used to further justify the fascists’ actions.

Don’t fucking fall for it. This is the same idea behind “the tolerant left” being coined by conservatives. It’s used as a cudgel whenever intolerance is refused, like some sort of gotcha. If you feel empathy for him, then great for you. But don’t let anyone make you feel bad for refusing empathy against an oppressor. Because the person attempting to villainize you is only working to victimize you.

MehBlah@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 345d

I didn't say anything about feeling empathy for kirk. He used up all of mine. I was talking about him and maga. They lack empathy. They think its toxic or they don't believe it exist. The reason for that is simple. They lack it in full. Fascist weaponize guilt not empathy.

This pic is gonna be pretty fucking tame compared to what we American's will soon be seeing in real life. Studied WWII? I took two years of Advanced European History in high school. Fascism is here, now, today. American democracy is not hanging by a thread, it's all over but the shouting.

Pick up a fucking rifle, learn it, practice safety and marksmanship. Same goes for your choice of pistol. I've been onboard since 2020. If you're not onboard, you will be onboard a train. Yes, you will risk death. You're going to die either way. I choose to die with my boots on.

This is not macho talk. I fucking hate living like this. Been out all afternoon, shooting my new .22, and writing this reminded me to get my AR-15 and nightstand pistol out the safe. How fucked up is that?!

I'm scared shitless to take my wife back to the Philippines and get her legal ass back in. Seeing a little blood isn't scaring me anymore. Maybe I'm less human?
