Why some US restaurants are banning tips

Tips are central to US dining culture but some eateries think that they are unfair.

        I find users here to be more pleasant on average than anywhere else I’ve been on the internet. That being said, we do have a small but obnoxiously loud population of misanthropes here as well.

        i agree that it’s quite a big problem on the wider site, i am spoiled by mostly chilling in the trans mega.

        First formal warning. Reports of your poor and inappropriate public behavior have been filling the mod report box for a little over a year now.

        There will be no discussion on this being a one-off eruption of poor behavior as you have been consistently hostile and antagonistic towards other users both here on hexbear and beyond in the fediverse, you do not try and take the most charitable interpretation of or engage in good faith with fellow users, you have demeaned or harassed others for caring about a topic or details of a topic more than you do.

        You will be personally observed from here on out until you correct your behavior or you are permanently banned from the site.

        You will be afforded clemency for any future eruptions of hostile and antagonistic behavior in one day as one-day occurrences to prevent report dog piling or executing every report as a separate occurrence to rapidly climb up the moderator escalation plan. However I or any other admins retain the final say on whether or not we see the need to jump the ladder and go straight to permanently banning your account.

        You are encouraged to make ample use of the block feature to minimize the possibility of engagement with other users you may have frictional exchanges with.

            Besides the getting banned from the db0 stable diffusion a.i comms, this warning is drawing on all previous moderator actions on you over the past year.

              the db0 stable diffusion a.i comm

              lol because it was a non stop stream of people posting AI waifu bullshit and I was mean about it

              previous mod actions

              Im not here to relitigate bullshit today but like 3 if that are legitimate (i.e. the misgendering accusations were bullshit unless you agree it’s inherently malicious to use they/them for a user who had those pronouns listed (before removing them post argument)) and worth giving a shit over and not on the level of the above and they’re literally just shit like me saying “lick my balls.”

        I just responded to their comment with gentle disagreement, I don’t really see how that’s “harassment”

        This interaction has left me feeling like shit.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
