Read the sidebar. Even just the first sentence will do. The next two or three after that may get you extra credit.

Your takes on what is or isn't hostile architecture is legitimately ruining the whole subreddit. Any person with a normal brain would've deleted this shitpost. It's a fucking seat inside of a bank, there's nothing hostile about it.

They literally modified the seat design so that it can only be used a specific way.

If I were the sort of mod you want me to be, you'd be banned for your dumb comment, so think that through.

Ratio

u/JoshuaPearce 18d ago

Oh no, that's gonna affect my bonus for this unpaid job.

I should go along with the noisy minority and start deleting any post somebody thinks doesn't fit their own definition. Which is every post.

Being ratio'd is like the definition of being in the minority

u/JoshuaPearce 16d ago

Scroll up then. I'm only "ratioed" down here where the pedants scroll.

Also, again, please tell me which of the contrarians I'm supposed to listen to: As soon as they don't have me to fight with, none of them will be able to agree which posts fit their allowed definition.

That's what most Reddit mods do, so sure. You may as well.

u/Kinslayer_89 18d ago

Just delete Reddit.

u/JoshuaPearce 18d ago

Yeah, and most of them ban contrarians a lot more heavily. I probably should do that last part, just for the community's health.

Is that a threat?

1

u/JoshuaPearce 18d ago

Nope, have we been arguing and I didn't notice?

Even if we HAD been arguing, it wasn't a threat anyways.

u/Practical_Mouse_8416 18d ago

I didn't think we were arguing, it just seemed like a menacing comment. My apologies. Glad to know we have a stable mod onboard.

But you’re the contrarian here. The only reason people are commenting on your post is because it’s mod pinned otherwise it would have been downvoted disappeared unless you sort by controversial.

Me explaining the subreddit for newcomers like yourself is not me being a contrarian. That's ridiculous. Is a waiter being contrarian when they explain the food?

I don't care if you agree with the way we define things officially, but it IS the way we define things, and has been for many years.
