    Yeah I guess. I’ve only been able to get internships- good internships. But I’ve never been able to get a real job

    Maybe I misinterpreted that.

    What’s with all the comments about closing public schools and calling clearly fascist movements as “christian moralists”.

      I see you are a @aidan fan. Here is the thing, we all will have different interpretations of political viewpoints. This isn’t a open forum for only progressives, conservatives, liberals, moderates, or whatever, it is a shared forum open to different perspectives. You don’t have to agree or disagree with anyone’s points, but we are one community and everyone’s voice can be heard (as long as it doesn’t violate the rules or lemmy.world TOS). That is why having aiden is a great asset to the team. Moderators are rarely liked, but we value his commitment to growing the community and providing insight and perspective.

        Exactly what I wanted to hear.

        I hope this place stays open-minded and free to discuss different viewpoints. Even if I don’t agree with certain views of one member of the mod team, I’m ok with that. As long as it doesn’t influence who can post their opinion.

        Thanks for your comment and…

        well, we’ll see in the future.

      Currently working a good internship. Also, talk about stalking!

      Edit: I also never advocated closing public schools. I advocated making them voluntary.

      Edit 2: I have also been offered a few jobs but are not feasible for me since I want to live near my partner.

        I wouldn’t consider it stalking but a background-check.

        This community could (/will) become the biggest political forum on the web. Wouldn’t you want to know who moderates it?

        You can go through my post history, nothing to hide. I don’t consider it stalking but a feature.

        We will follow your journey with great interest.

          I wouldn’t consider it stalking but a background-check.

          And why does dissent automatically fail the background check in your book?

          Of course you’re free to, it’s just I’d argue a rude thing to do to instead of judging someones actions you criticized them for being vulnerable in a completely different context days ago.

        It’s a traditional right wing position to defund public schools. Right now : ‘House Republicans want to cut Title I funding by 80%’

        If you don’t know, title 1 funding is money for the poorest public schools. The money is often used for nutrition programs, resource educators, special education teachers and Education assistants.

        I think you might be too young and inexperienced to be an unbiased moderator.

          Largely yes.

          I think you might be too young and inexperienced to be an unbiased moderator.

          Judge based on action, you very clearly broke rule 3 to insult me because I disagreed with you on this exact issue. You then said I should be removed from being a moderator, not because of an action but because I disagreed on this issue. I’m sorry idk what to tell you other than watch the modlogs.
