It's really not okay to threaten groups like that. These are folks making a living where they can. How does that make it okay to imply that you are going to attack them? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] thepaperpilot@beehaw.org 19 points 2 years ago (1 child) The bit about "no" not meaning "no" means they're specifically implying meta employees can be sexually assaulted even if they say no. I'm sure it's said in jest, but it's still a fairly offensive comment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Leafeytea@beehaw.org 1 point 2 years ago That is NOT what I said and NOT what I meant. The Mod removed this comment due to everyone saying I was somehow threatening everyone. They did not publish my response to the message they sent me, so this needs to be cleared up. What I am saying is that clearly these people do not take NO for an answer, even when it's clear NO means NO. They ignored it and did what they wanted anyway. I said I would keep this behaviour in mind whenever I am downtown because I live in SF and go by their headquarters literally every day and have already see a lot of their people, and in fact some awful behaviour from some that work there. Interacting with them is something a **WANT TO AVOID. ** I was not implying in ANY WAY that I intended to harm or threaten them. permalink fedilink source parent [–] miracleorange@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) It reads to me like they're saying that they feel like they might be attacked by Meta employees. That said, it's uh... quite a choice to have made to say that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] nromdotcom@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago Oh, interesting. I also initially read it as a thinly-veiled threat but I think you're right it was more of a "will i be assaulted". Still a weird thing to say. permalink fedilink source parent [–] TheRtRevKaiser@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Hi @Leafeytea - I've removed this comment because a lot of folks are reading it as threatening toward Meta employees. I don't want to assume that's your intention, though. If you'd like, shoot me a DM or reply here and I will restore the comment if you would like to edit it to clarify what you meant. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Leafeytea@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago What?? How are you getting that I am threatening people?? I was clearly saying that META people do not seem to take no for an answer even when NO is meant. I said I would keep this in mind the next time I am downtown and come across anyone from their staff. I live in San Francisco and pass by both Twitter and Google for that matter on a daily basis so I see people that work there all the time, at coffee shops in the morning, at lunch etc. As in TO AVOID THEM. Good grief. permalink fedilink source parent
