@threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works seems to be protecting the alleged pedophile, transphobe and pedophile president installed and protector.

In !spaceflight@sh.itjust.works’s sidebar, there are no rules listed, and what do you know, I get a comment remove and instant perma-ban.

When are these guys going to understand they are destroying the fediverse, causing all these alt account creations, and don’t understand the difference between when to downvote and when to use their mod powers.

    Thanks for your comment! Mod who made the decision here.

    The reasoning behind the decision was more or less as follows:

    • The user had no previous history of contributions (posts or comments) to the community
    • No part of the user’s comment indicated that they had read the article they were commenting on
    • It seemed as though their comment was simply an emotional response to the article title containing the phrase “Falcon 9”
    • Other users who have left comments of similar tone in the past tend not to be valuable contributors to communities

    And yeah, by this point, everyone knows “Elon bad”. But stating the obvious doesn’t contribute anything useful to spaceflight discussion.

      At the time of my comment at least 7 people didn’t seem to know or care Elon Bad.

      Your reasons sound vaguely reasonable on the outset, however

      • you make a lot of assumptions about someone based on a first comment in a micro small community
      • no part of you community rules specify any of your now written out rules for commenting
      • none of this would warrant a comment removal and a fcking perma ban.
      • you coming in here, with THAT username proves you’re not really seeing you’re abusing mod power to not help your community, your instance, your own standing or the thing you’re emotional passionate about.

      The point is, either make those things the rules and then enforce them, or just down vote (or at best remove) but no need for the banning. c/elonsmagnificentspacetravel is also an option and I wouldn’t commented in that either, even if it didn’t have any rules.

      You’re not wrong yo take action. You were power tripping with the perma-ban. Simple 'as. Especially if it was not explicitly against the rules. Do you have a response to OP’s reply?
