The point is trying to gauge intent from a downvote is an extremely stupid and completely ridiculous way to go about moderating a forum. Maybe I downvote a thread because I dont feel like it was in the right subforum. Maybe I downvote because in my opinion it was low effort. Maybe I downvote because I disagree with the general theme of the thread and dont feel like engaging with it. Maybe I downvote simply because I dont like the person who made the thread and was in a bad mood.
Moderators retroactively deciding downvotes are now an indicator of some sort of hateful ideology is absolutely asinine.
I personally love it when there is a new update to the rules and even after writing 5 paragraphs the rules are less clear than before.
Dont be transphobic (like 4 people decide what that means) Dont randomly downvote trans-positive things (we wont tell you what that means) Stop being reactionary (wont explain how this is reactionary)
As someone who is part of the LGBT community I struggle to understand how instigating a struggle session over trans stuff every other week is helping to make this place a more welcoming forum for trans people. If someone doesnt want to see trans-related threads constantly on their leftist board they should be allowed to downvote them and instead of whining about it and banning people for it the admins of the site consider adding basic functionality to their website that actually allows users to only see threads they care about like every other website in existence. Even as someone explicitly pro-trans I get sick of seeing random shitposts about trans issues that are almost always complete fluff.
Yes downvotes - no other metric specified.
Does downvoting a generic “this video game is transphobic” or “this video is transphobic” thread that is constantly on the front page constitute a banworthy offence? Nobody knows, because nobody knows what constitutes a “trans-positive” comment or why you arent allowed to disagree with them without being transphobic.
Downvote datamining is extremely fucking weird and off-putting, and this is coming from someone who rarely votes at all.

Difficult as I am from small town Canada and there arent really any schools that have closed down around here. The types of jobs I am looking at applying for are entirely entry level and not skill dependent at all so I wonder how likely they are to check regardless of if it is even possible or not.
The most annoying part is I would 100% get my GED first if they actually offered any testing right now but for the entire year the testing centers have been closed. I basically have no option but to lie about it.
Rate my entirely (literally 100%) made up resume.
Unsure if employers can easily check status of High school diploma/GED so unsure what I’m gonna put in the education part.
Need some feedback. https://i.imgur.com/ygfTMVv.png
In 1944 the manuscript was almost lost when a German V-1 flying bomb destroyed his London home. Orwell spent hours sifting through the rubble to find the pages intact.
Ahh, my anti-Stalin work! Damn nazis!
I’m not in any danger of losing my support system right now, I just finally crave independence and have some small bit of hope for my future.
I’m kind of worried I might mentally check out if the job is too cancer though so I’m looking to avoid working cash registers, restaurants, fast food, anything where I must talk with random boomers constantly. The dream is maybe like stacking at a grocery store or a bestbuy or something.
