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

My point was the indecency of prosecution without explanation.
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.
-
Was I persecuted?
It's a weighty point that I am discussing elsewhere.

I think you might be wrong there.

Those prosecute you. People on SM persecute you. Not the same thing.
Although I do agree with the sentiment of "innocent until proven guilty" and give benefit of the doubt without sufficient evidence of any actual wrongdoing. Someone simply saying someone did something isn't proof enough of anything, considering lying exists and can come from either side of the story.

Most sites don’t do that though
Actually, it's the rule in Lemmy and Reddit. Google's Playstore has a similar policy.
So yes, ubiquitous. A perversion worth discussing. So here we are.
-
So, you still can’t answer.
-
The point is that you got comments removed and banned from communities for breaking the rules, and you keep missing that point no matter how many times it’s repeated to you.
-
No, the point is that they are removed without explanation. Explanation is key. It raises the relationship to a more intelligent level and makes a better community.
