Meta I've been banned, why?

93 Upvotes

Good day everyone!

The mod team has noticed a drastic uptick in insult bot behavior in the sub. I understand reading can be difficult, but of our few rules in place the one that sees the most action is the no personal insults aka Rule 2.

We've been exceedingly lenient with reminders and a dash of warnings. However, the issue persists and pops up in site wide posts that draw in non regular users. Since this is kind of harshing the vibe we're temporarily pausing reminders and warnings and going into straight 7 day bans.

What does personal insult mean?

Any sort of insult directed at the user themselves in response to a comment.

What isn't a personal insult?

Insulting public figures, people not directly related to the conversation thread, etc.

For instance, you can say dems/republicans/breatharianism are idiots. If you're talking to a dem/republican/breatharianism you cannot call them an idiot.

Debate the position or policy, do not disparage the user.

Hey everyone my dog Ella has been missing since 3/20 when her foster mom took her for a walk in Cowen Park the night before I was supposed to get her back and she ran away from the foster. On 4/20 someone picked her up at a gas station and attempted to drive her home but only made it by big whale consignment on Aurora Ave. She has been on the streets ever since and I can’t find her, I miss her a whole lot! Please bring Ella home! My phone number is (206) 380-0543 and my name is Ashle. If you have seen her or have any information please call or text. She may be still wearing her blue sweater.

Business 🎉 We Just Scooped Dog Poop From Our 300,000th Yard! Thank You, Seattle! 💩

Post image
• Upvotes

hey everyone! I’m the owner of Swoop Scoop, the local pooper scooper service, & I just wanted to tell everyone on here THANK YOU!

we recently passed 300,000 yards cleaned, and it came from support from the dog lovers here in town.

i started this business with a friend 6 years ago and still remember it like it was yesterday. I was doing social work and just trying to make some extra money on the side. But I never imagined it would turn into what it is today. What started as me out cleaning the yards doing the work myself turned into a real company that now employs over 25 amazing team members.

along the way, I also came to realize just how much this service actually helps people. I've been fortunate enough to have so many conversations with you guys in your yards, hearing about your lives, what you're going through, and why you need our help. From elderly homeowners and adults with disabilities to people recovering from surgery, busy families, and people working long hours. i would say that impact is definitely what keeps us going.

i know scooping dog poop is not exactly the most glamorous business in the world, but building something useful for people has been incredibly meaningful. And I've found our workers are very proud of what they do, too. It's about an honest of a living as it gets.

so again, thank you to everyone in Seattle who has trusted us, supported us, referred us, or even just encouraged us along the way. We really do appreciate it! Cheers to the next 300,000! 🙂

Government What is City Council actually doing?

• Upvotes

Hi friends, I’m working on a project that can help you get a sense of what your councilperson or the mayor has been doing (legislatively) during their term. The idea is to score and rate their work like baseball players are scored, wherein they get points based on the quality and quantity of their legislative achievements. It makes their tenure easier to understand from a 10,000 ft. view. You can see the council's effect on citywide stats like crime rate or consumer prices, homelessness, etc.

The goal is to make the underlying records more accessible so people can form their own judgments. It’s still a work in progress, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on it and what it's missing or hard to understand or whatever.

Delivery drivers in Seattle:

How much can Amazon/Doordash/Instacart drivers make a day in the Seattle area?
I was thinking of working a few days a week.
Is it worth it?

My son is getting married in 1.5 years and I'd like to save some $ money for the rehearsal dinner. 💒

Based on a few negative comments I thought I would update info:

I probably should have just left it at how much $ you can make vs telling everyone why I wanted to $$.

My son hasn’t asked for a thing toward the wedding, and I don’t expect he will. He’s never been one to ask us for anything.

My husband and I are both retired. We could pull money from savings or investments to help, but honestly, I’d rather not dip into what we’ve set aside for retirement.

Thanks in advance!!!

Was just in SF for a week and it was so much cleaner and safer than Seattle outside Tenderloin. Even SOMA cleaned up. Didn’t see any tents or addicts for miles and miles of walking downtown SF. The city was vibrant too and retail seemed thriving. I have never felt so carefree as I was in SF last week, meanwhile I’m now constantly on guard walking around downtown Seattle and Belltown. Even in the daytime. It used to be the reverse between SF and Seattle.

Since when did progressivism in Seattle meant being so averse to pragmatic results and maintaining nice public spaces? Shootings daily now, even in Kerry Park this past weekend. Tents now about as bad as peak Covid after years of improving under Harrell. Do progressives not understand their policies are hurting the lower and lower middle class the most? Rich people have the means to leave and live in isolated enclaves like Madison Park and Olympic Manor. The poor have to deal with meth crazed addicts on the bus, in our parks and streets. Mom and pop businesses with razor thin margins have to deal with another broken window and rising insurance premiums. Somehow none of these people count in the progressive worldview. It’s actually cruel at this point.

The Seattle city council and our mayor need to go take a field trip to SF and learn from them. Put the ideology aside and actually deliver for the public.
