Posting here for preservationā€™s sake

Image in removed comment was the attached Palpatine image. Curious to see if the same admin mod would remove these screenshots if I crosspost them to !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com , which they also admin and mod. Would I get a fair trial there or will my dissenting and othersā€™ be silenced?

You canā€™t say youā€™re against disinfo if youā€™re knowing and intentionally promulgating it and abetting its usage. They also didnā€™t even remove the Reddit watermark.

This is why I donā€™t assign identities unto myself, because you criticize one action done wrong by leaders of an ideology or movement and bam! youā€™re shut out of it completely. Theyā€™ve lost the aid of an ally and progress is impeded by being shorted a participant trying to correct the course.

    Mmm, sorry. I agree in principle, but that was definitely outside of community rules.

    That makes it YDI, even though it seems a permaban was issued. That could matter, because this could have been your first offense, and thatā€™s a heavy handed action with no malice in the comment removed.

    But if it isnā€™t your first offense, or it was compounded after the fact with comments, messages, or other events that exacerbate the original rule breaking, a permaban could be justified.

    While I understand that the concept of responding to a meme with a meme being rule breaking is one that isnā€™t exactly clear in those rules, I believe that a reasonable person could tell that the meme used in response is one that is commonly used in a dismissive and/or condescending manner. The subject of the meme image, and the ā€œironyā€ that meme conveys is not close to the line, itā€™s a pretty blunt put down.

    Since itā€™s in meme form as well, it isnā€™t engaging, itā€™s just an offhand, smug response. Within the rules of that community, that is absolutely a removable comment.

    I rarely do this, but I disagree with a lot of the established rules of that community, and have it blocked partially because of their specific rules and moderation policies. While thatā€™s off topic for this community, I want to make it clear that I would, on an emotional response level, have preferred this be power tripping. But it just wasnā€™t.

      Squorlple indeed has a long history of bad faith trolling, and Bad-jacketing. He should consider himself lucky he wasnā€™t given a permanent instance ban. I certainly wouldā€™ve had I been in charge of that descision and I canā€™t blame other people for having the same opinion. Thereā€™s only so much bullshit people can tolerate from someone before itā€™s clear that theyā€™re 1. Never going to contribute anything in good faith, and 2. Never going to change. Itā€™s why we have permanent bans in the first place.
