No comments deleted but please remember that the OP is asking for documentaries, so please avoid other pieces of media.

Please remember that comments wishing harm on others go against our content policy. I've removed a few comments for this reason and kept some that were borderline (continue flagging if you believe they should be deleted). I've left the derail about Israel/US good/evil, but let's focus on sharing relevant news rather than targeting individual users in arguments. Also, adrienneleigh, please consider taking a step back and allowing others to carry on with the thread.

One comment deleted as requested.

Based on the comments in this thread we have decided to close this thread. There are already other open threads about governanace, MetaTalk and the Meta Queue.

Please continue the conversation there and let us know if anything else is needed.

None of this is meant as a "told ya so". We do support the removal of the Meta Queue and recognize that this change will come with new complications but I'm sure we can sort them out with your input.

Based on the comments above and here it looks like the best course of action is to close both threads given that there are others already open about governanace, MetaTalk and the Meta Queue.

Please continue the conversation there and let us know if anything else is needed.

Noting that this post wouldn't have been approved under the old rules as it could have been a comment under the various other governance threads open at this moment. We approved right away given that the Meta queue is going away but please be mindful if there are other related discussions open already.

Here's the reviewed P&L for May apologies about the delay but this literally included going over hundreds of records that were automatically miscategorized.

Also, cash on hand as of May 31 was $127,746.

No deletions made so far, but wanted to note HonestAlly-sock's first comment that is being pushed back against. Let's avoid speaking on behalf of other people and discussing their experience like an academic topic; invite them to speak for themselves instead!

Were the mods actually planning to ban this user before this MetaTalk post went up?
Yes, totally. I met with Brandon this morning and we agreed to ban them for good.

Transphobia needs to be grounds for an immediate and irreversible ban. Nothing less will do.

Yes, a full ban is in order. Transphobia has no place here. Period. The temporary ban while the moderation team discussed the issue was a decision to stop the user right there and allow some time for us to discuss collectively, not because we need to decide our stance when it comet to transphobic content, but because we take full ban seriously and discuss them together as a team.

One comment deleted as per the Content Policy: MetaFilter is a place for people to share their own knowledge and ideas with each other, not to interact with algorithms, so using ChatGPT or other generative AI tools is discouraged.

All other LLM content will be deleted.

A couple of comments deleted. Please remember that advocating violence against others violates our Content Policy. Additionally, let's try to be considerate and respectful in our discussions. While disagreement is welcome, there's no need to criticize what others are enjoying.

Acknowledging the mistake above. As kirkaracha mentioned, he didn't know how to turn off the mod box and was acting as a regular member. We'll address it internally as well but if you want to discuss this further please create a new Meta about it.

One comment deleted. Ask MetaFilter has more strict guidelines than other subsites, so please avoid answers chastising the OP and remember to be considerate and respectful

One comment deleted. Please don't call anyone Lizard Person, this is a dog whistle rooted in antisemitic conspiracy theories that have long sought to dehumanize Jewish people and as such goes against our Content Policy and Community Guidelines.

One comment above deleted. While we avoid deleting comments in MetaTalk, Name calling and personal attacks go against our content policy, please abide by it regardless of the subsite you are in.

What steps are you taking towards that?
– We've moved from this being a one person effort to a team effort and set timelines/owners for each section of the site update.
– I'm working with the board to set better communication channels for volunteers, the board and the staff.
– Brandon and I discussed just yesterday the possibility of breaking the site update into different posts (tech updates, admin updates, moderation updates, etc..) that way once section won't hold the other.

One comment deleted, let's avoid personal attacks and calling another MeFite "sucker". Please refer to the content policy.

Fixed reedbird_hill's comment above as requested.

Changed a link in the question to "cis woman and a trans woman" as noted above.

One comment deleted. Please avoid heavily editing your comments.
