Petting a lion in South Africa?

And it must be the same here (to throw out there for the mods)

The moderation here isn’t quite the same as elsewhere, in my opinion. Sometimes I’ve experienced it, sometimes I haven’t—even when I probably deserved it. Occasionally, it comes down too hard on some people and not hard enough on others, but overall, they really do try to be fair and tolerant.

No matter what topic you plan to discuss, as long as you’re sincere and develop the subject well, I’d be surprised if you run into any bad surprises.

Moderation here isn’t quite like it is elsewhere, in my opinion. Sometimes I’ve been moderated when I shouldn’t have been, and other times I’ve gotten away with stuff I probably shouldn’t have. Occasionally, it felt like they came down too hard on some folks and not hard enough on others, but overall, they really do try to be fair and tolerant.

No matter what topic you’re planning to bring up, as long as you’re sincere and you flesh it out well, I doubt you’ll run into any nasty surprises.

Thanks, amigo! 😛 So I’ll stay 😎 After so many years of being silenced when you’re sidelined, I’ve learned to self-moderate and be less "quick to react" 😏 (plus, knowing a few regional words helps you slip through the cracks—on FB, the mods (7,500 of them, no less!) and AI are totally lost when it comes to Provençal or Languedocian. 😄

What does that have to do with the topic?

Maybe you could start a thread on moderation since this seems to be something you and Manondugard care about?

What does this have to do with the topic?

You’re the one who called me out, so read your own post again!!! And does it ever happen to you to go off-topic and then come back to the subject? Ugh…

Small clarifications In version 1 Corrected later Appeared Day in X and Walking with Lions Said it was great

Your small clarifications are really helpful because they provide context that wasn’t clear from the initial read. What’s confusing—and misleading—is that the intro message doesn’t mention any edits, even though I think that notice usually appears pretty quickly when you update a post.

And I think saying We shouldn’t judge everyone’s choices! Well, no [...] Or else There are no limits

But I never said any of that. 🙂

Standing up for a belief is admirable, but defending it with rhythmic chants, long, mesmerizing melodies that captivate and hypnotize, leaves a much deeper impression on people’s minds than a preachy lecture— which is how you’re going about it...

Have faith... Trust in me... So I caaan... watch over them...

You’re the one who brought up this topic:

You forgot the "report" button

In a conversation that had nothing to do with it.

I kindly replied to you—there was no need to insist.

End of the digression

I just edited my reply to Manondugard.

We’ll see if a mention shows up.

1/ I never said those words were yours 2/ initial message edited 3/ I’m stating facts Facts, facts Harmful activity, people exploited, lions condemned No blah-blah 4/ It’s not about morality Lions are dying because of this activity It’s not just me saying it It’s wrong Do you think it’s okay? After that, you can like or dislike how I try to inform people But I’m trying I’m not yelling at them I’m giving info In this case, it’s actually you who’s lecturing By the way Did you know about the issue? Come on, let’s relax

I just edited my reply to Manondugard.

We’ll see if a mention appears.

You edited it 4 minutes after posting, so we won’t see it.

There’s a grace period to fix a post without the mention showing up—about 15 minutes. After that, the edit is flagged.

@Michel, I think you should read my reply more carefully...

Some tourists are even amazed by a dragonfly 🤪 because their minds are still at work after a year of slaving away like fadolis. Most are just happy to bring back photos and to have experienced what they call "the authentic." 😏 The solution is the interactive stuffed lion that roars when cuddled (in a video or photo, no one will see the difference) 🤪 They’ll be able to tell their loved ones how soft its fur really is and that it even nibbles to sharpen its teeth 😏 If I’m not on topic here, then I’ve got no clue what’s going on 😅
