Totalitarians, fascists and other scary governments prosecute you without telling you what you did, and everybody agrees that this is an evil practice. But now it's normal and accepted on social media

Good discussions happen in the meme subs which is kinda ironic.
I've noticed that too. It's like a forest fire (high popularity, enshittification?) went through there and now healthy stuff grows. Probably a cyclic thing.
What we need is truly niche subs. Which by definition must be hard to access.
-
Well we technically provide free labor too. I mean the whole conversation was built by us. The whole system was built to service the necessary stuff that we provide.
Yeah, the modlogs are a step up for sure.

A very brief one, sure, I could agree with that. Most assholes aren't worth more than a few words though. This is the internet after all, trolls abound, and aren't really worth the effort.
-
What? No. You can't just walk in, say some dumb shit and decide that it's your house.
That's nonsense.
Your original point was the equivalent of "Stepping on Legos is literally the same as land mines, amiright?"
No, it's not, and you're not a victim.
-
They know, they are just giving him a hard time lol
-
My original point was the indecency of prosecution without explanation, actually.
-
Not “anyone”. But certainly you, currently.
You broke the rules, and you got your comments removed. Facing the consequences of your actions is not a state of victimhood.

It's impractical too, to boot somebody without telling them why, as somebody else in this thread pointed out.
Another person in this thread suggested that such discussions are wasted effort. That such discussion, and the healthy society it engenders, is not the aim if those in control. Who are the mods' bosses. That they simply want max control for min cost.
-
That's rather beside my point. I addressed prosecution without explanation.
-
Such petty sniveling games are the bedrock upon which our magnificent culture is founded.

Using inflammatory language as a way to make your point seem more valid is just manipulative, and betrays the general lack of a point that you have.
You were not “prosecuted”, and I’ll be generous and assume you meant “persecuted”, which again is such an inappropriate use of that word given the mildness of the indecency you experienced.
Is it a dick move to ban without explanation? Yes. Most sites don’t do that though, so I assume you have some very specific grievance that prompted this.
You weren’t banned from the world, and there are many instances in the fediverse, so take your speech to any number of instances where the mods aren’t dicks.

You’ve been told multiple times where to find your explanation. You didn’t like the answer, and so now you seem to be pretending that you didn’t hear it.
-
You were not prosecuted.
-
And you refused to answer me when I asked you in what court of law are you being prosecuted? State, federal? What laws are you alleged to have broken?
-
Perhaps, but that’s not what happened in this instance. If you check the mod logs, there’s plenty of explanation for why this user has had comments removed, and has been banned from several communities.
-
Your participation does not entitle you to break the rules.
-
Do you mean persecution? Do you understand that those are different things?
-
Ya we already discussed that elsewhere. Close enough. My point doesn't take a doctorate to grasp.
-
I swear some of you people would rather swallow your own elbow than directly address the point.
-
It's a pretty bad question.
