howabout this, rather than sit here and argue theory and bullshit… lets reframe what you’re doing here and see if that’s the person you idealize yourself to be.
You’re coming to the defense of a powertripping mod that abuses their position to push centrist bullshit and then bans anyone who disagrees with them.
Would you, as an anarchist, come to defend any other self-appointed hierarchical leader that pushes harmful misinformation and silences critics? Hmm? Is this your ideal anarchist community member?
I don’t think the mod is power tripping. They used the piefed default ban length (2100-2026=74), and the mod is allowed to moderate their community as they see fit. They don’t allow aggressive neoliberal talking points. That’s their choice.
I’m a fan of the community, so I’m familiar with the mod’s behavior. They aren’t centrist, they were criticizing the democratic party. I don’t necessarily agree with the post, but that doesn’t make it misinformation.
As a mod of a few communities myself, we’re custodians of a community, not “hierarchical leaders”.
The principle of free association means that I can freely interact with them as long as both parties see it as mutually beneficial. If I didn’t like the mod, what they post, or their community, then I block them. If they don’t like me, what I post, or my communities, then they block me.
