So as obviously not a diver, is it normal to refer to the north and south pacific individually? Because that feels like padding to me
Show threadfiahJul 23, 2023
it’s normal to shut up and listen to actual experienced divers if you have something like 21 dives (some people do that many in one week). Being a moderator of a community is sort of the opposite of that
Show threadFrisbeedudeJul 23, 2023

That would be 3 dives a day. Very risky. Maybe commercial divers?

Edit: I’m an avid diver with 22 dives under my belt. Only 1 ocean though, thus not qualified to moderate…

3 or 4 dives, just tourists

Show threadFrisbeedudeJul 23, 2023
More like snorkling then? How do you deal wwith the danger of decompression sickness, especially with tourists? Sorry for the dumb question, its been almost 20 years since I had to do the theoretical stuff with all the math…and we had very strict instuctors (CMAS)
Show threadfiahJul 23, 2023
on these cruises, everyone dives with their own computers these days, when the dives are spread out through the day (first dive no later than 7 in the morning) then 3 dives is no problem at all even according to the most recent and conservative computers. If a 4th dive is done then yeah, that’s more like a bit of snorkling at 10 meters max and in the dark
Show threadcactusupyourbuttJul 23, 2023
I wouldnt call 3 a day risky, but its definitely very exhausting
Show threadFrisbeedudeJul 23, 2023
It’s been a while for me, almost 20 years…but what about the risk of arterial air embolism and decompression sickness?
Show threadcerementJul 23, 2023
as long as your ascents are properly timed out with your dive computer it becomes much less of an issue – even less of an issue if they’re leading shallow tourist dives – as the previous post pointed out, your biggest problem is just plain exhaustion (which can lead to its own host of issues)

one of my last comments over there was along the lines of I don’t think Reddit understands the sheer scale of what they’re trying to change – 8800+ subreddits, 21,000+ volunteer moderators, but only a couple hundred admins (less after the recent layoffs) – each admin is going to be expected to moderate a hundred communities they know nothing about and are now actively hostile …

Yarrr we plunder 'cross the seven seas!
Show threadslicedcheesegremlinJul 23, 2023
Fun fact, the term "7 seas" has never referred to any specific list of seas and is older than knowledge of the Pacific/Indian oceans by western cultures
Show threadBULLIEMcGUIREJul 23, 2023
Source?
Show threadtowerfulJul 23, 2023

Because there are over 50 seas?
But more colloquially, the 7 seas are generally taken to be 7 different regions of the 5 oceans (seeing as most people recognise the southern ocean as the 5th of the traditionally 4 oceans).

I know you are trolling and sealioning or JAQing off.
But, for such established facts, you can Google these things yourself.
And even if you don’t trust most of the sources, the majority will confirm there are not 7 seas.

You can call me a dumbass all you want. Doesn’t change the real facts. You and your hobby hurt the environment. There is 0 environmental benefit from you polluting the seven seas. Call me a sea lion. Hope the next time you see a dead one you think about what I said.

What?
Show threadpostmateDumbassJul 23, 2023

Yeah. The only way that makes sense is military.

That would be easy access to all 7 oceans.

And then 21 dives means 21 civilian dives. Because they cant talk about the work stuff.

They open with:

“First let me introduce myself. Naturally i work well under pressure”

To me that rules out option 2 or 3: rich sob on vacations or yacht deckhand fucking around on breaks while working for rich ass sob.

I love all these new "mods" (cough scabs cough) who act as if the community of the subreddit as a whole wasn't supportive of the protest and clearly it was only the old bad mods doing everything.

Also, based on that last image, what are they going to do, ban every member of the sub and kill it that way instead?

Show threadPennyOakenJul 23, 2023
It works out in the end, I have seen that personally in r/againsthatesubreddits . The dissenters will leave or either come back and behave. You end up having a better, obedient subreddit than a rowdy one.
Show threadSilverserenJul 23, 2023
Hopefully that changes in the future and the community sees that it's better to destroy the subreddit than let it be sanitized by corporate into banal nothingness.
