A place for your suggestions and grievances about r/neoliberal. New submissions and comments in the ban appeal thread will result in the mods getting pinged

RULES

I. Maintain civility, decency, and discourse quality. See rules I through III on the /r/neoliberal sidebar for details.

II. When referencing a post or comment, please provide a link or explain why you cannot (for example, a removed comment written by someone else - if you wrote it yourself and it was removed, you should still be able to link to it).

III. All posts should include either a question or a call for action from the mods (for example, "Why was this comment removed?" or "Add a userpinger group about...").

EXPECTATIONS

If your post can be easily responded to by any mod, you can expect a response within 36 hours. After that point, feel free to re-tag moderators and/or PM a moderator to make them aware of the lack of response. Understand that when this happens, it is likely the result of logistical issues rather than any malevolence on our part.

If your post likely needs mod deliberation for an answer, needs a specific mod to respond, or needs a mod with technical expertise to respond, then you can expect a response within 48 hours. After that point, feel free to re-tag moderators and/or PM a moderator to make them aware of the lack of response. Again, please assume good intentions on our part in this situation.

While we do not require your complaints to be polite, understand that phrasing your criticism and complaints in a constructive manner is more likely to get you a quick and helpful response.

Finally, our intention is not for posts in this sub to be ignored. Feel free to post links to threads here directly in the /r/neoliberal discussion thread.

Ping group for Every Day Carry

Hi there,

I was wondering if we could get a ping group for every day carry type posts. These are where people post what they take with them on their day-to-day.

It's a fun form of self expression, and I find thinking about what I take with my every morning gives me more focus.

For those who aren't familiar, check out r/EDC for an idea of what you might carry. I tend to have a torch, a pocket knife, a watch and then usual stuff like keys and a phone. Lately I have been inseparable from my marshal headphones as well.

I can't post an image here, but normally I would imagine it would mainly be image posts.

Anyways, thanks for considering. I would try and post fairly regularly.

The name could be !ping EDC or maybe !ping Manpurses as a funny alias

Is this sub just r/populistcommunism now?

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/s/4jpaM53ggS

How are comments like this allowed, and how are they upvoted.

Neoliberalism is dead.

Five people attempt to make a dictator not hate and crush them, a single one turns out to be a truly terrible person (like 40% of all Sapiens Sapiens, no, seriously, the average behaviors of billionaires are much better than other people), and suddenly the leftists are right about their mindless class-based hatred?

These people who stand against billionaires offer no solutions, no data, no studies, just blind rage as reasoning for why we should essentially burn the very concept of incentives down just to punish the most productive.

Instate rules to stop posting about math or science, or unmod /u/Syards-Forcus

I'm a scientist that works two different jobs. I'm tired of seeing this mod outright post about math or physics related things in the DT. I find it personally offensive when I'm trying to browse the DT after a beer on Friday night.

I also can't remember if Syards-Forcus is the one that does this for sure, but I'm not going to apologize.

Remove excessive partisanship rules relating to US politics or unmod p00bix

Republicans in government are actively trying to erase mine and many other's existence. There is no excuse for being nice to republicans.

To honor Salwan Momika can the sub host an Everybody Draw Mohammed(pbuh) Day event May 20th?

As free speech is one of the most important aspects of liberal society and this being a liberal sub to honor the memory of Salwan Momika after his assassination I think doing this free speech event would be a good idea.

Me calling somebody who is implying Muslims are violent and don't belong in the Western world a Bigot is not unconstructive engagement.

I don't care if its heated here. The guy clearly hates Muslims, clearly wants them removed from the country he's in, and I'm the one whose getting my posts removed? Either remove both of our posts, or put mine back in, because it is aboslute bullshit that such blatant islamophobia can go unchallenged.

Impoundment article got filtered

Mods, can you approve this? It talks about how the funding freeze is a deliberate strategy by the Trump White House to get a case before SCOTUS.

Ping group request: !ping SEVERANCE

Alternative aliases: ping INNIE, ping LUMON

Severance is a sci-fi mystery show enjoyed by thousands of shambolic rubes and fetid moppets around the globe. I’ve seen it mentioned in the DeeTee enough that i think it could use its own ping (plus i just like the idea of discussing it with you people).

Get rid of automods billionaires/person of means/liquidity response

It’s not that funny anymore considering how many wealthy people kissed the ring and are in Trump’s appointees. It’s not even that great of an automod response to begin with, it’s just annoying.

Requesting an update to the pingable immigration FAQ

Hi,

Sorry to ask more work of the mod team but I am requesting some small changes to the pingable immigration FAQ that was made half a year ago. I think it's great but I think that

  • the third citation should be removed
  • this source should be added to the article section, perhaps with a description like "Deporting unauthorized immigrants increases citizen unemployment rate"
  • this source should be added to the article section, perhaps with a description like "Preventing companies from hiring immigrants doesn't increase native employment or wages, but instead leads to automation if that's possible and decreased production if it's not" (I know that's unwieldy, just keeping the first clause would be fine too)

I'm sorry that we didn't get it right the first time. I wasn't aware of those studies and I didn't think to zero in on the consequences of deportation for citizens. But now I think it's important to clearly and directly argue that deportation and immigration restrictions hurt or at least don't help citizens, as opposed to only arguing that more immigration helps citizens. Obviously they're two sides of the same coin but I think spelling it out is rhetorically helpful. I think with these changes, it would become a valuable one-stop-shop for anyone looking for quickly accessible, high-quality resources to debunk common anti-immigration narratives.

I think it's wrong y'all kept banning FarrenJ for pointing out transphobia, why are you right?

FarrenJ was a valued member of NL for a while, to say the least.

Long story short, I complained about Fukuyama's stance on trans people, NL mods banned and unbanned me (with a warning), I complained about Fukuyama's stance on trans people again, and the mods banned me again for 3 days. So I quit the sub. This was after trying to appeal to the mods about how anti-trans NL had become and getting shut down.

If this is true, do you think that any criticism whatsoever of Fukuyama is worthy of banning a long-time user and former mod? (For any period of time?)

What are you guys doing?

I thought the modteam encompassed both queer people and queer-supportive people. So it appalls me to see this behavior, if it's true.

I don't care if you think Fukuyama is god's gift to mankind, anyone deserves to be criticized if they have a bad opinion.

I think this needs talked about, and I hadn't even seen this until FarrenJ said it elsewhere. Why are you guys policing criticism of Fukuyama's supposed transphobia?

Leopards ate my face automod

With the Trump administration now in power, we should expect an increasing number of situations where a reference to "leopards ate my face" would be appropriate. To increase productivity and decrease the workload on hardworking Redditors, we should have some sort of shortcut to trigger this reference in an Automod response and automate the process.

I need approval to post articles now?

https://www.reddit.com/r/neoliberal/s/BxRxLKN6Qr

This post had an article which does relate to this subreddit & would be on topic, although it’s shadow banned for some reason?

Not sure if mods can approve the post.

Let’s call Nazi a Nazi

We shouldn’t pussyfoot around the truth. Trump, Elon, and all the rest are pseudo-fascists at best. Trying to pretend they aren’t evil scumbags in the name of civility only helps them.

Remove the AOC automod response

Policy aside, AOC is the only one actually pushing back on trump during a time where most democrats are silent in the face of strongman populism or even encouraging it (looking at you Fetterman).

It makes us look silly to single her out and attack her like this.

Why was a linked post I made removed?

I linked to a Silver Bulletin post about Nate Silver's assessment of why Biden failed. I flaired it as an opinion piece. It was removed.

Why? Did I break a rule?

Please ban until November 4, 2026

Being unable to post to r/neolib during the 2024 election has been the best gift I could've asked for. Given the outcome of said election I'd kindly like to request that you ban my account for the duration of the 119th U.S. Congress term. Many thanks and see you on the flip side!
