2·11 days ago- 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.
