Yes, because I can tell the difference between a canonical community name and a vanity name. If you look at the url for the community, what does it say?
That name can’t be changed while the “interesting global news” vanity name can.
Think about this: Someone using a client like mine that does not show the URL and only the display name would not necessarily know the distinction. Communities can have short URLs, and give the full community name in the display name. That’s the entire point of having it.
“Interesting” is a perspective. Something that one might find interesting, another finds absolutely boring. As a post author, I do find it interesting, since it’s extremely rare that someone gets disqualified from the event. Especially since they refused to do that of Israel who are being investigated by ICC for genocide, yet they booted Netherlands for mere probability of the police investigation.
Unless I missed something major here, I don’t think the Israeli contestant was personally involved in genocide, and certainly as not involved in genocide on the set of the show, whereas the Dutch contestant was allegedly involved in backstage on-set misconduct, so that seems completely reasonable?
It has no bearing that the contestant personally didn’t do anything. They banned Russia from participating for the actions of a state.
And allegation is not proof anything happened, it’s just an unsupported accusation. Any person can accuse someone else of something, that doesn’t mean it’s true.
It has no bearing that the contestant personally didn’t do anything. They banned Russia from participating for the actions of a state.
Sure, and drawing comparisons between those two events is completely fair, but I don’t really see where the parallels lie between that event and what is happening to Klein.
They booted him not for the alleged misconduct, but the possible investigation of that allegation, according to their statement to the press. By that standard, both should be removed. It’s the hypocrisy that’s at issue, not that he might being innocent. If you claim to have a standard, but only enforce it selectively, it’s no longer a standard.
The contest organisers said “it would not be appropriate” for Klein to participate “while the legal process takes place”.
