There are MANY center-right communities in the fediverse where you are allowed (even encouraged) to defend things like genocide, imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, US-style "democracy," and those who support them. This is not one of them.
- No Discrimination, this includes usage of slurs or other language intended to promote bigotry
- No defending oppressive systems or organizations
- No uncivil or rude comments to other users
- Discussion, not debate. This community is exclusively for genuine logical debate, any comments using whataboutism or similar will be removed.
- No genocide denial or support for genocidal entities. Anyone that supports the mass murder of civilians will be banned.
These guidelines are meant to allow open discussion and ensure leftists and post-leftists can have a voice. If you are here to learn, then welcome! Just remember that if you're not a part of the left (Liberals don't count) then you are a visitor, please do not speak over our members.
😭: "NOOOOO YOU CANT JUST BAN PEOPLE FOR HAVING POLITICAL DISAGREEMENTS WITH YOU"
The political disagreement they had:
Sometimes I almost feel bad for some of these liberals because I think they truly lack the self awareness and perspective to know how atrocious their ideology is
But then I remember all the people suffering, dying, being enslaved, deported, and incarcerated because of people like them, and I smash that ban button so hard
modding comms is such a thankless job fr, like 99% of people are just completely fine people to deal with but occasionally you have some absolute freak just completely go off on you about something.
like, I had some guy get mad at me for deleting a comment he made for excessive hostility towards someone and then temp banning him bcs i found him posting a transphobic slur on his account while vibe checking him, so he decided to spend the next week replying to accounts on the comm i was modding accusing them of all being sockpuppets of me, repeatedly report spamming misogynistic slurs, dming me to rant at me and stuff, and ban evading with half a dozen different accounts to tell me I "gave a bad name to all trans people" and then he did the exact same thing again like three months later on a different comm i mod in response to some article i posted about homophobic laws in kansas being passed, after that he got permanently banned from the entirety of blahaj by Ada i think.
Yo, I saw that thing transpire! That guy was wild.
My worst experience as a mod was on a fairly large gaming discord server. I saw things I never wanted to see, including incredibly inappropriate behavior toward minors. Eventually I had to stop doing that for my own well-being.
A conservative is a wolf, you know to stay away and they know they're a joke. Meanwhile Liberals are foxes, they'll smile and laugh but come close and they'll bite your neck.
