Like imagine going to a pride parade and you see some twink u never met and be Iike, “hey colleague! How’re u? How’s the bottom job position working for you?”

“Colleague”… That’s a funny word…

    no.

    this is our preferred nomenclature where i work instead of ‘employee’. i hear this extensively and dont see the humor in it.

    moist; now thats a funny word.

    When we have to reference one of my psych patients in another patients chart, we can’t use names or any other identifiable information, so we refer to them as “a peer.” So for instance “pt observed interacting appropriately with their peers this shift” (a reassuring sign of good mental health) or “pt had a physical altercation with a peer in which they were struck on the head and chest” (bad, obvs).

      I have a suspicion OP might be a misplaced peer whom has obtained inappropriate network access.

    This post was reported for being offensive. Its hard to know what is offensive to all groups of people. “Colleague” is a pretty innocuous term and “twink” seems to be context dependent. It doesn’t seem obviously derogatory in this context, “you see some dude” feels similar. I won’t take action for now. I’m very open to feedback, being wrong, and learning. Thanks all.

      I don’t think it’s offensive. It just seems to be a bad shower thought. OP shouldn’t feel bad for having it but should feel bad for sharing it.

        Eh why should I feel bad for sharing it either? I shared it, ppl didn’t like it, so they downvoted it. Ok ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      Is that your weird minimizing way of saying you reported it, or did you somehow learn of a reporting?

        I’m a mod, so the latter. I want the reporters to know they are heard, but also I tend to be slow to take action.

          You mean by deleting old, totally innocuous posts like a week after they posted it? What rule I broke I don’t know. Don’t much feel “heard” as a user

          Good luck with your sub

            This is my first time being a mod. For example early on I would just remove any post that got a single report, but obviously that’s not a good strategy.

            There are also other mods including an automod.

            If I’m reading your picture correctly it was only 6 days ago that your post got removed. I’m not even sure if I can undo a mod action but I’ll look into it. Thanks for bringing it up.

            Edit: I am having trouble finding the original context of the comment that got removed, finding out how to reverse it, or finding who removed it. It’s possible it was me but I don’t remember it. I have reached out to other mods for help.
