It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

    I understand why an instance staff wouldn’t want to have posts questioning instance guidelines every week.

    Interestingly enough, in the case of anti AI bans, that topic was discussed on https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/49185248?scrollToComments=true , and it seems like both the mod and the person iniating the request found a way

    So no, it’s not really “Scratch an anarchist and an authoritarian bleeds”

      Phillip hates that db0 isn’t a carbon copy of his failed instance, therefore we’re somehow not anarchists for not tolerating the intolerant.

        Probably x)

        Edit: just because you care about trans people

        In addition to simply brigading my communities I have had people harass me in DMs, make death threats towards me, and make fun of me for being a recovering alcoholic. I’ve had these people deny my gender identity, claim I’m a woman, deliberately use the wrong pronouns, and even one person impersonating me while acting like a pig. Really vile stuff.

        In short these are not knee jerk reactions, the vast majority of the bans I cast are for good reasons, and while I have made mistakes on occasion, the majority of these bans are correct, and I don’t believe we should be forced to allow known problematic users to hurt our communities just because they haven’t left comments there yet.
