Dude what the FUCK, definitely PTB
I actually posted this same article, then after, it got crossposted to [email protected]:

I fully support your counterpoint. That's the whole point of having a comments section. A comments section where you're only allowed to agree with things OP and the mods and admins and the article author think are the right way to look at it, is super weird and mostly useless. I posted the article because I do think it's a significant milestone and a lot more power generation than I would have expected, but you have a perfectly valid point about the weasel-y-ness of how it's being presented.
For anyone who takes seriously the assertion that OP is a troll, I would ask you to take a look at these comments:

They take part in controversial topics, but I don't really see any bad faith of any kind. If they are a troll, they are playing the marathon long game with it.
Its is always nice to see a well reasoned response! I agree it's a good thing that renewables are playing an increasingly important role in energy grids, but misrepresentation of that role helps no one.

It really doesn't help when the poster and the mod are one and the same. Too many people take dissenting opinions as a personal attack.
You are correct I do not shy away from sharing my opinions regardless of how controversial they may be in some communities, and I think that's mostly healthy for online discourse.

Jesus Christ. That shouldn't be allowed, honestly. If someone doesn't have the maturity to handle someone telling them they are wrong in the comments section, I think they should literally be required to go and fetch a separate person to get a distinct opinion on it and do the moderation for them and not be allowed to touch the buttons.
Non-whites have never been police, never talked to police, never voted for the Evil Party and shouldn’t be included at all in advice to not be evil, misguided or duped.
Note: 16% of black voters and 43% of latino voters in the U.S. voted for Trump.
If you need a /s at the end of that comment to get the sarcasm you are really really bad at reading context cues.
I think I am, yeah. Edited the original reply now to turn it into a sidenote :D
Hahah fair enough
(Comments from OP are in bold.)
If there's one thing I have very rarely seen trolls do, it's clarify a misunderstanding and then laugh it off once everyone is on the same page again. Honestly, I also thought your sarcasm was a little hard to detect, just because there are some crazy opinions on the internet. But in retrospect it's clearly sarcasm, and you're clearly approaching the conversation productively and making a salient point through the sarcasm. Actually, your exact point was one reason I made a whole separate post of my own about interacting with the police, instead of just reposting that fairly-good-with-some-caveats advice. The comment about white people left a bad taste in my mouth as well.
Woops I somehow replied to the wrong comment earlier!
Unfortunately while communities are small and content is slow mods are somewhat forced to be the primary posters in their communities, but clearly some people just aren't mature enough, and here we are in YPTB!
Funnily enough I had a disagreement recently with a mod of YPTB in that same comment section but their response was somewhat measured, though I still disagree with them, so didn't earn a post here.

Hmm maybe I was a bit harsh in my initial response, but prior to the other posters edit his reply was also fairly strong.

Glad I'm not the only one.
