Today I Learned

What did you learn today? Share it with us!

We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**



Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

This is the only comment in the thread with the word "shitbag". And there is only one upvoted top comment who even mentions feminists, saying "There is a lot (of) feminism that really just amounts to men-hating". Coincidentally, from a trans girl praising a woman.

Really, I don't get where those "bigoted MRA types that hate all women" are supposed to be in this thread.

It's weird that I have to inform you on how Lemmy/Kbin comment sections work, but when they get long enough, multiple pages of comments are made. They aren't all viewable on the same page.

Look for the second (or more) page buttons at the bottom. It might blow your mind.

You're looking for a top level comment by Binthinkin, by the way.

Oh, you mean the comment that got removed by mods, doesn't show up in the thread, and is at a -24 score looking at it from their profile? Modlog shows it's been removed 2 days ago so it wasn't even up when you started commenting. Not sure how did you even find it, definitely not just by "looking at the second page".

But absolutely, this thread is a setup and one removed and heavily downvoted comment out of 200+ is definitely proof.

EDIT: I see you're from kbin so I'm guessing it was a federation error not syncing the mod action. Still, unless kbin doesn't show downvotes, it should be pretty clear it was far from a popular opinion anyway.

I can still perfectly see this comment, which is sitting at a +20/-2.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I can't see that without a kbin account. This is how it shows up in Lemmy instances. If the difference is so big and it's a federation issue as well there has to be some manipulating going on, pretty much every reply to his comment is pointing out how unnecessarily aggressive they were to feminism as a whole.
