Banned last night and all my comments removed for calling out a Zionist troll who FREQUENTLY posts comments trashing Palestinians and celebrating death in the name of Israel.
But I’m the one that gets banned for Checks Notes “Rule 3: No Nazis, QAnon or similar”
What a circus, mods did ZERO due diligence before banning and the Zionists comment remains!
So, one of these 4 is a certified Power Tripping Bastard
Open hostility towards bad actors is useful in driving out the less-dedicated of the bad actors, in establishing norms against bad actors, and in discouraging any would-be bad actors who want to join.
Every member of a community has the power to contribute to that.
In theory, if we had perfect judgment then maybe this would be a healthy approach.
In practice I see a lot of people who think they’re doing this but are just caught up in their own emotions and are really engaged in bullying.
There’s definite caution that needs to be exercised in doing this, at the very least, as well as encouragement of restraint from the community and correction from the same.
