I want to make this VERY clear. I am extremely progressive, way far left. Kamala Harris is the only sane choice, I’m voting for her. BUT we still have to try and get her to change bad policies like her promise to continue funding genocide. Apparently, that way of thinking will get you kicked out of certain echo chambers ran by corrupt mods like WrenFeathers and JonsJava. The first comment was in response to someone praising Biden like he doesn’t also have Palestinian blood on his hands. And I apparently always have to reiterate that Dildo Tramp is 1000x worse and might actually kill us all by accident or on purpose.
Depends on the C/. You gotta check the rules, do a vibe check. What works in one place won’t work in others. You went to a meme spot and got all aggro. Of course you got banned. That’s not the place for that kind of “attitude”
You gotta realize, any given C/ is not really public property. It’s a curated space by nature. Whoever sets it up and runs it decides what kind of community they want to build. We don’t have to like their rules, but if we don’t, the answer is to bugger off and start/find one that we do like.
Some mods curate by consensus; the community plays a role in determining what the rules and norms are, but it’s still not the same thing as a purely public space where anything goes.
We don’t want every C/ to allow some aggressive prick coming in and ranting any time they want. If every C/ is like that, shit gets old fast.
Pick your battles, but more importantly, pick your battleground. Don’t start shit on a community that’s pretty clear about not name calling and being a douche. Find one that allows or encourages very aggressive language. There’s plenty of them.
You’re gonna do what you’re gonna do. Just don’t pretend you don’t know you’re being an asshole on purpose to start shit. And don’t be surprised when you end up banned from places where you didn’t bother to at least do a vibe check beforehand
