Which brings up a good point:
The best thing that could happen to social media is if they hired… The Doper Mods!
(at great expense, natch)
.
“The Mods have determined that the following 9,544 accounts have been suspended for 24 hours while we discuss your posting privileges.
Furthermore, the following 29,569 accounts are receiving ‘subject bans’, a new feature here…”
If Doper mods take over all social media, we’re going to have to update the tagline to say “…plus a metric buttload of total dipsticks.”

We’d need a metric buttload more mods, too.
You’re gonna need a bigger boat board.

This does suggest an obvious and lucrative way this board can continue to pay for itself. Just contract out the mods to other social media. At great expense, natch.
Twitter can give each of them a coffee mug with a blue cartoon bird on it.

I was only half-kidding. I really do think the biggest difference that makes this place palatable is the quality of the modding.
Would Facebook be waffling on Trump’s Tweetage if they had a Hari Seldon with his referee outfit and whistle?
†weeeeeet… you’re outta here, forever!
So, mods, here’s your chance for fame, fortune and maybe a mug…

Bolding mine.
I believe you misspelled “planetload”.
But I certainly agree with your sentiment.
Let’s all get together and give them swell mugs, t-shirts and whistles and keep them all to ourselves. The rest of social media can eat their heart out.
I blame predictive text.
In the words of Gabby Johnson, “Rarbit!”
And possible plack resurrection.
Or not.
I posted this as a reply in SRIotD but think it should be part of this thread:
The FEC won’t rebuke Trump:
Ever since former president Donald Trump left the Oval Office for the last time Jan. 20, a question on the lips of many of his critics was what legal jeopardy might await him. He faces several investigations . Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia report contained extensive evidence — and what could even been regarded as direct suggestions — that Trump committed obstruction of justice in the Russia investigation. Many Trump allies were also convicted of crimes, including one who publicly implicated Trump.
We got our first word Thursday when it comes to Trump’s legal liability stemming from these cases, and he got a pass.
The Federal Election Commission ruled that it will not move forward with an investigation into Trump’s role in the illegal 2016 hush-money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, who claimed an affair with Trump, in the closing weeks of the election.
The decision is both unsurprising and rather inexplicable.
There’s no conceivable way that this isn’t pissing Trump off:
Individual 1 blames Biden for the Kentucky Derby winning horse testing for drugs.
But this horse has a name!

Oh, I was sure I’d been through the desert with him, but now I guess not… carry on.
