Edit: There used to be a screenshot here. I messed up the link in an edit and donāt have a local copy saved.
My comment was roughly 'It already looks like it might be better than things now, at least Biden never advocated for full displacement of all Palestine."
I had already seen half the comment section of the post with ban marks. This single comment copped me a fully-expected permaban. Unfortunately my comment doesnāt show up in modlogs so I had to retype it more or less from memory.
The bloodshed:
Screenshot edited as per mod request.
Most of the banned comments are actually still visible. If you browse the thread youāll notice thereās nothing particularly inflammatory or banworthy about any of them.
Best part, in the middle of all that banning, our buddy found the time to mod the one guy in that post who supported his opinions. Welp, another echo chamber in the making.
Follow up:
The mod posted in a similar post in this comm. FWIW, while I stand by my actions and opinion, I did msg them to offer them a personal apology.
Want to know something funny? The mod has expressed the exact same opinion themselves. That theyāre now banning others saying the exact same thing they did is purely emotional. Any opinion that doesnāt 100% align with how they feel on a particular day is a bannable offense.
I see resin85 accusing the mod of what you are describing, but the modās response appears to reflect a fair personal opinion that doesnāt align with your accusations.
The modās statement is balanced and reasonable. It doesnāt support your claim that āThe mod had also expressed that no other parties, not even Netanyahu or the IDF, carry more blame than Biden.ā The mod is simply pointing out that Biden isnāt blameless, which is not the same thing.
At this point, my YDI judgment still stands unless further evidence is provided. It seems like this community might not be the right fit for you.
Screenshot 2 was pointing out that the mod has said the exact same thing heās banning others for, not about Netanyahu et al.
Screenshot 1 doesnāt make it clear enough that heās blaming Biden as the primary party over everyone else involved in the debacle? I have an autistic streak and even I can tell that much.
Thatās fine. Youāve apparently decided itās right for them to be an echo chamber because theyāre emotional, and anybody who disagrees deserves to be kicked out. Iām not sure how that logic canāt be extended to pretty much every PTB in existence, but ok. My goal here wasnāt asking for judgement, but just drawing attention to the nonsense thatās happening over there.
Ah okay I am badly misunderstanding that whole second half of your comment then, my apologies. I still donāt understand it but thatās on me.
Nope. And your āautistic streakā comment is demeaning and unnecessary.
You are doing a very clear and intentional misreading. Mod said āthe known serial killer was given a gun, he would not have been able to kill if it werenāt for the man who gave him a gunā and you are doing the disservice of interpretating all sorts of terms like āprimary partyā āover everyone elseā and āBiden carries more blameā that were NOT in play. Youāre the one doing disinformation here and I would absolutely ban you for manipulating my words like that.
Anyway you seemed chill at first but the more evidence I see Iām just glad you donāt run your own community. If that one is an echo chamber, one run by your standards of ādisinformationā would become one even faster. ;)
I apologise if I offended you. I was mainly talking about myself but I can see how it could be misconstrued otherwise.
Weāre going to have to agree to disagree here. I think the way heās replying is obvious enough, but itās not like I can ask the guy for clarification since, you know, hair trigger ban.
Anyway, I think Iām starting to get frustrated with the communication difficulties and itās making me more cutting than Iād like, so I think we should just call it here. No hard feelings regardless.
likewise!
