His immunity defense isn’t merely a legal argument. He’s priming his base to back wanton lawbreaking if he wins back the White House.

Not all the mods are willing to put a target on their back by telling trolls to stop being trolls. I prefer responding because I really do believe good moderation is transparent.
In THIS specific case, I COULD remove your comment under rule 4:
“regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.”
But frankly, I don’t find it bothersome enough to do so.
Yeah. I’m getting comments deleted with no reasoning. It’s always this way in this community. I’ve had accounts banned for no reasoning. There is an absolute bias here and there’s no denying it.
If you had a comment removed, always check the modlog (if it loads!) Not all mods post public comments, but the modlog will have removal reasons. I’ve been having trouble with the modlog tonight, but I’ll see if it can load your stuff.
The log points to a comment that was removed, so there’s no way to know what was said.
Generally the log will contain the full comment if it was removed under “Remove Comment”.
The bit where it doesn’t is if the mod chose “Ban user - x day(s) - Remove Content”
That’s why, when it’s a ban level offense, I remove the comment first to preserve it in the log, THEN ban the user.
I’ve yet to see a removed comment point to whatever comment was removed. So it’s impossible to ever know what was done that was wrong.
(phew) Finally got the mod log to load on your account:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=5357429
You’ve had 2 comments removed and one post locked, here’s what it looks like, let’s check this one at a time:
Telling another user you’re going to piss all over them and that they deserved it and should enjoy it is, in fact, pretty much the definition of incivility. I didn’t remove that comment, but had I seen the report, I would have removed it too.
To be clear, offensive language is not a problem, directing it at other users is the problem.
Mod removed that under rule 1, but I can’t tell which community. It doesn’t match rule 1 in either Politics or World News. It doesn’t look to me to be necessarily a rule breaking comment in the same way the other one is.
So again, I have other accounts. Not just this one. And I’ve gotten comments removed from them with no reason.
Additionally…. My comment was in context of what I was responding to. Yet- that comment remains. Only mine was removed.
You people clearly don’t read the discussions, you just knee-jerk react to whiny kids complaining because people are disagree with them. You don’t understand that this is a game to them. They start arguments, and bait people into getting themselves banned because they know there’s a mod bias.
We often get reports where it’s an internet slap fight top to bottom, and that’s not necessarily visible in the mod log.
It IS visible in the reporting system where two people are reporting each other repeatedly and the mods are basically being asked to be mom or dad, the general consensus in those cases is “I don’t care who started it, both of you go to your rooms!” :)
Best advice I can give you is do not take the bait, do not feed the trolls. ;)
Oh, it doesn’t link to the comment, it links to the comment thread, but the full text of the removed comment is preserved in the modlog which is why the modlog carries a content warning.
So this is weird, I got an alternate version of the modlog to load and it shows no action taken against you at all (at least under this user name).
PM me the details and I’ll raise it with the site admins.
I’ve got several accounts. Yeaterday, I saw one of my posts was removed. And there was nothing in my notifications. Just…. “Removed.”
I got banned from r/politics for saying killing Nazi’s is a great American tradition, and in my case, a family tradition, all my grandparents, and my wives grandparents were all overseas as part of the war effort.
If you want to find who’s really running a joint, find out who you can’t offend.
And the irony isn’t lost on me that you were summoned here to respond. Everyone here reports anything that goes against the hive mind. It’s absurd.
OMG you have no idea! I wish the report queue was as public as the modlog, but that would cause more problems as it identifies the reporter.
