      I never really got the appeal. I get joking about disturbing situations you have to deal with, but not what other people suffer through.

      Joking about the impending World War that would affect English speaking countries = based

      Joking about what is currently a proxy conflict for English speaking countries = cringe

      Honestly I’m not even sure if I ever posted there before this, I only saw it scrolling /c/all when it caught my eye for obvious reasons. If this is how the mods react to some polite but doubtful questions it doesn’t sound like I’m missing much!

    Context: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27423240

    I would repost the comments here to show I didn’t say anything objectionable (I wrote a decently long comment about how I was checking mod logs and didn’t see removed posts and agreeing with the request for more details) but it looks like they got totally nuked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Also, it looks like this meltdown is over some prolific shitposter getting banned from blahaj 6 months ago and I guess OP just now noticed. And also doesn’t understand that not federating posts from banned users is not “removing posts.”

      Man, they are BIG fuckin mad about it too, they came back over 20 minutes after deleting my comments to reply to the deleted comment (is that something only mods can do?) to call me a troll and tell me to fuck off.

          Yeah idk what the fuss is about. It seems like half the people in that thread fundamentally misunderstand how this protocol works. Really not something worth a “PSA”
