The removed comment 
Are you fucking retarted [sic]? Are you too godamn [sic] stupid to see how fucking dumb you are? You my simple mindless friend … no intelligent creator would ever willfully will into existance [sic] a moron as fucking moronic as you.
Can’t imagine why you got banned 🙄
Everyone sucks here, but like… come on
Turns out that Lemmy suffers the same poor moderation problems Reddit does.
Lemmy is literally the same format as Reddit, except instead having some company running it all, its run in bits and pieces by the people who would largely be moderators, or at least found subreddits, on Reddit. That decentralized nature has benefits, thats why Im here after all, but being the same format and to a large degree literally the same people as are/were on Reddit, well it shouldnt be surprising to see act similar.
At least here modlogs are public
“people standing next to musk who don’t punch him are traitors to humanity” is just obviously not a serious call to violence.
Your comments are much more offensive than anything you reacted to - you overreacted to the comment and then overreacted to the ban by posting this.
i think everyone in that comment chain is being completely insufferable and yes you absolutely deserved to be banned for your behaviour
did a little more than just “asking why the mods are good with it” bud
That’s not the comment that was taken down though.
Never said it was
I still think it’s weird to be so annoyed with the number of stories posted about Musk that you join a community dedicated to complaining about it. Talk about living rent free in your head.
Just to be fair to both sides, Elon is a piece of shit with a punchable face. I’m not advocating for violence, because I don’t believe that solves anything. But I understand why someone might feel compelled in his presence to smack him round a little, and I wouldn’t leave a comfy chair to stop them.
You were almost right until you used the ableist r word.
You strike me as very young based on the attitude and misspellings so all I’ll say is that you deserved the downvotes and you should learn to read a room.
U think im bothered by downvotes lol. And being a grammar nazi thats low
Considering you came here to complain about it, yea.
No im here to bitch about mods thinking that its ok to advocate for violence and silence anyone who points that out. I believe in free speach (not being censored) not freedom from others dissenting speach (being downvoted).
Gotta protect the sprach
Free speech means that the state cannot curtail your expression. It doesn’t mean that you can use my servers to be an ignorant jackass.
Ahh yes because the philosophy of freedom wasnt invented untill the american constitution was written. Free speach is an idea the first amendment is the american sates codification of this idea for their purposes.
What formative documents can I read to learn about this “philosophy of freedom”
There’s instances that don’t do downvotes. Can recommend. If someone wants to tell me something they’ll need the guts to actually say it
I like downvotes its important for any forum to have equall ability to express discontent.
I disagree, but I’m not hitting the downvote button. In my opinion, the downvote button is handy when you want to see what people dislike. (and I like your position on this)
But when it comes to online discussion, I want to discuss. Hence you’re reading this. It’s a lot more fun, insightful and useful to a forum to actually talk rather than vote in my opinion.
I feel a well voted thread sorts opinions on any topic from popular to unpopular. Gives people reading an additional dimension to put ideas that exists outside their subjective. And doesnt effect you ability to engage in discussion. Would be nice if u could search by contraversial tho.
Then of course u have the mathematical argument of votes that defaukt u have +1, -1, 0 (neutral) if u remove downvotes u essentialy have +1/2, -1/2 with no neutral forcing you to take a position. This is because a post without downvotes is not sorted against posts with downvotes but only other posts without.
I don’t think pushing popularity to the top or bottom is a great way to promote nuance. It’s nice for cat pictures, but I don’t think it’s helpful for discussion
