Considering one of your other mod actions is for wishing "school shootings happened at a insurance facilities", I really don't think you were arguing in good faith here, complaining about people wishing for someone's death.

You went into a trans friendly space, witnessed trans people talking badly about a transphobic person who wishes we didn't exist and puts forth large sums of money to try and make us not exist, and then told said trans people that they "shouldn't wish harm on people" YDM.

and show trans are normal people

What planet are you from? Do you think that "normal people" are supposed to be accepting towards with those who are trying to erase them from everyday life and make their existence as difficult and unpleasant as possible. Fuck you! Trans people do not need to be quiet and convenient for you. This manner of tone policing doesn't accomplish anything except attempt to silence the voices of trans people who are hurting and being hurt.

Eh. You walked into a community who're being stomped by a government boot and trying to cope with the injustice however they can. You tell em its not healthy to wish for the boot owner to die, or that it's a bad look. And, like, you may be right, but you can see how neither is in their top 10 problems right now.

If someone is going through a major external crisis, nitpicking about their behaviour isn't gonna garner you much sympathy.

Nah. JK Rowling can go take a swan dive off a cliff.

I know what you mean. After a protest (I did not attend, I was just nearby) I once walked up to a street medic covered in bruises saying absolutely terrible things about the police. I told them to remember that cops are people too and they just screamed at me and pointed at a lump on someone's head. Those shrill wokes will just not communicate with civility. We should exterminate them, for a comfier world🥰.

yeah i know JK Rowling has said and done awful things to the trans community, but

buddy, it ends right there

YDI.

Being anti-violence is never wrong. We are not arbiters of life and we should not wish for the death of any person.

To clarify: I would not shed a tear if certain people died. In fact, I'm not even anti-violence. But I don't wish for anyone's death nor do I advocate for or seek for violence.

YDM

Ugh. Troll

I think links to / screenshots of context and the specific comments would be helpful in judging this. Also this might even get removed because those are missing.

You're not wrong but this is kind of one of them Bobby Hill memes where they can't read...

But the place you chose to do this... I don't think you can read either.

Let them have their safe spaces. You don't go into vegan communities and talk about how great carnivore is... Even though you may not be technically wrong....

Unfortunately, you fell afoul of the most common of forum errors. You didn't check the community.

Now, while that community doesn't have a rule about that twat, and has rules against that kind of rhetoric in general (as in violent rhetoric), you do have a degree of responsibility of vibe checking a place before you jump in.

You also have to take into account instances on the fediverse. You can't just roll into .ml and preach capitalism, and you can't go into a blahaj and defend a known bigot. It's never going to end well.

I do think the ban was a tad much overall, though a temporary cool off one would have been fine. A temp ban based on the tone and phrasing of your comments would be totally justified.

And the reason given was absolutely bullshit. Rowling stan does nothing useful, it just sets up an antagonistic paradigm of mod vs users instead of a controlled curation.

Despite that, I can't see a PTB being the right call, but it wasn't a total YDI either. The extent of the action was too far, but done in good faith despite that

Leave logic at the doorstep when going into communities. All communities have their biases, unfortunately, and this is just one way it'll show up. If you go against the mores of a group you'll get banned, have your comments removed etc.

I am in favour of non-violence and can understand where they're coming from in this case, being another demographic that is persecuted similarly. It's a case of reverse discrimination gone to its extreme (i.e. wanting their death). One could argue it's fair because the people on the other side (JK Rowling) want the same, and worse, are actively funding anti-trans legislation. This type of persecution kills.

Emotionally, it's justified, although I know and agree that it doesn't really help or resolve anything. Wanting Rowling dead doesn't save dead or dying trans people. Reverse discrimination isn't useful and isn't something I'd aspire to, but it depends on what stage someone is in of going through shit, their current environment, and also just what they value in general.

I've found that moderators in general aren't typically mature and censor anything that bothers them even if it isn't a logical decision (note that I am not saying X group of people has to "forgive" another group to be mature).

PTB. But the kys insult is the most stupid insult I ever heard. When people tell it to me I laugh.
