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 also mod on a different comm on blahaj and still got banned in the same thread This isn’t about being trans, this is about how they enforce their vibes-based ideological rules
I think you deserve the ban, too, for the same reason. From one of your comments in the linked thread:
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.
not sure what you’re saying here
You said they’ll never accomplish anything but isolation. I’m saying assuming they need to accomplish anything is a bad premise. Is that clear?
It was what the OP in the original post was asking for though.
Ok? I’ve already expressed my opinion on that. You seem to support that OP and did so in a pretty insulting way. I’ve also expressed my opinion on that. Not sure what new information you’re bringing here…
They even go out into other communities to find people to ban who never interact with their community. I was banned (and posted details in YPB) and I’ve never commented in a single community on their server.
I could assume that maybe an individual person is in the wrong, but it seems like 50% of the posts on YPB are about blahj.
Just because the moderators are located on a server purporting to serve a minority community doesn’t mean that people should bend over backwards to defend their toxic behaviors.
