Mod log

  1. Original comment that was deleted with reason of “Tankie apologia”.
  2. When another user comments has suspicions of mods actions, Mod replies with this.
  3. Poster replies in exasperation explaining perspective, rationale, and offline experiences. Comment gets deleted and purged.

Explanation

The original comment I made was stating that alienation of someone by frustrating their political beliefs is not a way to convince them of anything.

That being their genuine friend goes a long way in helping someone rather then attacking them.

That together they both can work together for a better future.

That you can be annoyed, but that should be swallowed because that is what it means to be part of a community.

You will always be annoyed one way or another in a community, that is the beauty of a community, that there are different people that may annoy you slightly, but working together to still be a community.

The moderator disagrees with this, viewing it as “tankie apologia”.

When I replied, explaining why I made my post and my background, My post was removed and I was banned from the community.

To remove an otherwise popular comment advocating for what I feel are healthy behaviors, then name call someone as a “authoritarian” and a “tankie apologist” is disingenuous and corrupt.

Remedy

Personally I would like my comments restored so at least others see a different way of looking at things. I have no qualms with remaining banned.

Perhaps I should have not commented in reply to the mod, but they had already removed my post and I had little to lose.

Otherwise, I am very tired of this on the internet, I am tired of tribalism and the lack of empathy in this world.

What do you all think, should I have even made my original comment if I already knew it would be fruitless?

    I think you deserve the ban, too, for the same reason. From one of your comments in the linked thread:

    The advice on offer in that thread reeks of terminally online in a way that is extremely unlikely to accomplish anything productive in real life other than isolating yourself into increasingly small cliques.

    Again, you’re advocating the idea that a given community must be for advocacy, recruitment, education, etc., if it is demanded of the people not modding the community.
