Yeah. I’d think so, but moderation is now going to be done by a different mod or admin, because I let myself get involved. I don’t moderate threads/posts if I get involved.

Having other moderators moderate this, as I’m now a part of this.

It’s not opinion. It’s a fluff piece on how someone made money for their employer.

It’s advertising. For tick-tock or however your spell it, and for Staples, as well as for the content creator.

Either you are willfully ignorant, or your directly tied to this piece.

Calling what I’m saying an opinion is misinformation.

Oh god, this. DEI doesn’t mean they can’t advertise.

You’re in the wrong. I figured I’d let the community show you. This won’t happen again.

Yeah. It’s gray. I agree, but they are a real user (read: not a spam account), plus I was tired of them DMing me constant insults, as I never block a user. Rather than keeping it removed, I figured the users would show them what the community felt.

Advertising:

The activity of attracting public attention to a product or business, as by paid announcements in the print, broadcast, or electronic media.

Oblivion “teaches/informs people about services at Staples”, according to the article.

Her engaging videos showcase little-known Staples services, boosting customer interest and store traffic.

How wouldn’t this be advertising?

It’s soft reporting on someone advertising for their company.

Hell, directly in the article:

Katie Omstead—the President at Lo & Sons, who also makes PR and marketing analysis content on TikTok under the handle @ktomstead—made a video on Feb. 12 that called Oblivion a “content and marketing genius,” and shared what Staples should do going forward.

This is why it was reported so much.

Before you go “it wasn’t paid” I’m damn sure she didn’t do the work or wear the outfit for free. Anything you do for a company on company time is paid.

Wrong instance. There’s no such rule on this instance

checking. Wasn’t me.

Nah. We’re focusing on removing things that are in direct contrast to instance-wide rules (directly advocating violence).

Please do. We deserve it.

I heard he hates South Park, but the really crazy thing is he is in the Epstine files.

Rather than banning, I’ll just explain why I think you’re a troll or an idiot.

If you’re not rich you’re selling your body.

Coal miners? Longshoreman? Farmers? Hell, sitting at a desk all day.

They all sell their body.

The only difference is you assume that it’s shameful if it’s sexual, or your trolling.

I’m a millennial. Bought my house in a rural location for $70k at 3% interest in 2018

Due to the out of control housing market, it’s now “worth” $150k

This market makes it impossible for younger generation to have a chance.

I have worked for non-profits.

They are completely allowed to make a profit.

You are mistakenly under the impression that I’m against Mozilla.

If you go back to my original comment, I merely explained what I explained here. Mozilla is a non-profit, not a not-for-profit.

You decided to take that as an attack on Mozilla, for some strange reason, and attacked me. I just turned that same energy back on you.

Did I ever attack Mozilla? Did you attack me?

I couldn’t agree more
