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.

Thank you @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for reminding me on this missing context: https://lemmy.ml/comment/17251624

In my reply post, I wrote that “advocating for war on any country is not political flavoring”.

That cannot be swallowed, and one should not befriend such a person without sufficient care for ones own wellbeing.

I had wrote explicitly thinking of people who suport Russia against Ukraine, Israel over Palestine, and Assadists etc.


My purged comment also states that “people seeking to punish / attack LGBTQIA+ people is not political flavoring”.

I whole heartingly believe trans rights are human rights.

Free HRT and gender affirming care for all!


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

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 have tried to write in multiple formats and ways, but I feel at the end of the day I cannot in any way make you understand my perspective or empathize with how I see things.

    I feel that no matter what I say, I will not be sympathized with or empathized with, as I feel that you have already made up your mind who I am.

    Let us keep our judgements, comments, intentions, and understandings to ourselves.

    Nothing was gained and nothing was lost.

    Goodbye.

      It may be just me but after reading your post and most of your comments I still don’t have a clue what is you were trying to say.
