I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It’s not a community I’m super active in so it’s not like devastating, but it is annoying
If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can’t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website
The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol
I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all
Well put
It isn’t though. They—specifically one moderator that seems to have been summarily removed—don’t want a separate space that’s entirely their own, they want to exist within a greater community. They want to be able to provoke–yes, I use ‘provoke’ intentionally–people without those people being able to directly respond.
If they want their own space, they’re free to set up a defederated instance, or create their own message board.
