Look, ignoring anything else, people really need to get the idea that a post removal is not inherently power tripping. It’s the point of a mod. That’s the thing they’re for: curating and keeping the crazies to a bare minimum.

If the mod is removing a single comment or post, with no other action, it isn’t power tripping unless there’s some corroboration of a pattern of suppression.

In this case, you provided no evidence of such, and the accusation you made is so far over the top absurd that I think you actually deserve a ban here.

Now, me and db0 have disagreed on multiple occasions, and I called them an asshole the other day, so this isn’t someone kissing ass. But one thing that cannot be said about db0 is that they’re in any way a fucking nazi. Fuck, if a real revolution popped off, despite my disagreements on precise details of what should happen after, db0 is one of a small handful of people on lemmy I’d gladly work beside.

This post is pure shit stirring, and isn’t what this community is for, though it’s good that it stayed up so that the absurdity of it can be addressed.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree with the principle that mods and admins can be and should be called out when they’re up to fuckery. But that isn’t what this is. This, to go old school, is calumny, verging on libel.
