DISCLAIMER: this is not my content that was removed, I just came across it in the modlog and found it to be absurd. If it’s not allowed, I totally understand.

Reason removed was because it’s unrelated.

Unrelated……

The guy was illegally deported without due process. And yet for some reason, suggesting so is somehow “unrelated” to a meme that is trying to say that because he is affiliated (no charges were ever filed against him for gang-related activity) with a gang, he is by default, guilty.

What’s ironic, is that the entire point of the meme is that the bullshit about him being in MS-13 is unrelated to the fact that people want accountability for this administration illegally deporting a man without due process.

This mod has definitely chosen the correct name.

And even taken into consideration that the instance is essentially a troll haven for wayward 4Chan refugees, they should still have to adhere to the rules of common sense.

    I think moderating a heated conversation you are a part of is also bullshit. You can’t be arguing with someone, tell them to do something in the argument, and then say “failure to follow mod direction” or whatever when they don’t. Or, you can, but it’s bullshit.

    1. Not sure which thread you were reading but I wasn’t arguing with the individual in that thread at all afaik, NSXRN was.
    2. The onus is on the person making the claim to provide evidence, but all they did was deflect the question and hand wave. When called out, they deflected again.
    3. When I stepped in to ask them to “put up or shut up” they deflected yet again so I removed their reply.

    As for the rest of your comments NSRXNs reply seems to have covered it.

      Oh, yeah, like I say I very much agree with you about making an argument and then not backing it up being bullshit. I actually would really like if that was an across-the-board rule that drew mod action when people violated it. It’s way too accepted on Lemmy to just spout off whatever’s in your head and then wander away or get offended if someone asks you to back it up. I’m just saying that deciding that rule as a one-off and applying it to a person on the opposite side of an active argument you and NSXRN are in (whether or not your comments were close enough to this person’s comments to be “in that thread” is, to me, not relevant) is pretty authoritarian of you.
