I’m one of the mods there. We generally try to stay neutral unless someone posts blatant disinformation, or is not acting kind and is starting combative comment threads. You’ve done the latter a lot.
Moreover, our bias is to let the reports and downvotes guide us. The people in c/videos have been complaining to us about your behavior for quite a while now, and they‘ve not been appreciating the content and comments you’ve been contributing.
We’re a community of people. If you can’t participate constructively in that community, please find another community or create your own community. Lemmy is a federated system - you have options.
What an elaborate way to write ‘we’re trying to create a blue maga echo chamber no dissent allowed no matter how civil’.
Linkerbaan, you can’t force people to listen to your opinions. And you don’t have a right for your views to be platformed in every community either. Im quite sympathetic to your stated cause, as are many other mods, which is probably the only reason your LW account hasn’t been permanently banned tbh. But if you don’t bring anything to a community except a bad attitude and a well known reputation for trolling, name calling and bad faith accusations, then wtf do you expect to happen?
If calling out Genocide is crossing a red line for you I have bad news about your civility. I very rarely insult people unlike the Blue MAGA lemmyworlders. If I did they wouldn’t have to make up lies about me defending the usage of child soldiers.
The projection from you liberals is top tier. Bad faith Genocide deniers calling others bad faith.
Telling a known troublemaker they are on thin ice isn’t “power tripping”.
If anything it’s a mistake to not ban them, their behavior hasn’t shown signs of changing. When it comes to people like this banning them is the best thing for the community, or even the instance/fediverse as a whole.
I was hoping they just acted a bit harshly because of their concerns about the matter at hand, but it seems that that was a mistake.
