I just want forums to chat about current events, argue about stupid fandoms, and bicker with internet trolls. Reddit used to be that, and I had hopes for Lemmy, but everything here is choked to death by over moderation that has nothing to do with keeping healthy communities. It’s just thinly veiled echo chambers that don’t want to admit what their community is about.
This is coming off a ban over disagreeing with vegans calling dietary disagreements the same as racism. The dude literally said different species were similar to humans having different races. I called that 1800s slave owning theory racism if I’ve ever seen it lmao.
I know people dont care for internet drama, I just wanted to rant. The internet of tomorrow fucking sucks.
You deleted your post at
The comment we are talking about came in at
On top of that, when I saw your report, the post had already been deleted.
For the other comment, I already told you there that it’s fine to express criticism against a movie, less against a person.
Because what the other person expressed makes sense in this context. You complain about mods power tripping, but you are overtly agressive yourself, as I noticed myself in the other community. You could have let the post live, I would have moderated the “whole personality” comment, and we would have moved on. Instead you remove the post, all of your comments, so that people wanting to have a look at what happened cannot anymore. I encountered this behavior in the past, it’s widely used by trolls to cover their tracks.
It’s more of a deescalation technique rather than an attack. Also, you are not really engaging any conversation here, which is the theme of the community. I let it got since yesterday because I think it’s good to allow people to express themselves, even if not completely on topic, but based on our conversation, you would probably be better off elsewhere.
So when you invalidate what I’m saying, it’s deescelation. When I say the exact same thing, it’s a personal attack? Why couldn’t that have been me deescelating the needless shitposting in my movies thread?
And according to you, there is appropriate times for personal attacks, but only in response to good faith dialogue, not to shitposters.
Sure.
Why did this post need further deescelation? It’s 3 days old and dead. The only people keeping it alive is the follow-up mod clique coming in to launch personal attacks.
And what are these 50+ comments if not a conversation? This is again, you letting your conflict of interest take over, which is why I wanted an alternative mod to stand in and direct all of this non relevant discussion elsewhere.
You want to justify your personal attack while still feeling vindicated in taking action against me. The comparison of your
To my
Is off-putting so you want to dismiss my statements again.
It’s your community. Feel free to ban me whenever.
