Thanks, I didn’t notice that before. Looking at the modlog, I’m guessing may have actually been for the use of a t*rd suffix … I think? The log doesn’t really get specific enough.

Yet, in the thread I presumed it was for, another user not only used a full-on r-word but also directed it at another user. They are still active and posting.

Hmm…

Where do you find this info?

Jesus christ. This is what’s wrong with internet discussions. There is no room for nuance and everyone just assumes the worst of everyone.

I wasn’t blaming anyone for anything. All I was saying is … murder is, y’know, bad and you should maybe try not murdering. I can’t believe this is controversial or ban-worthy.

Edit: downvoted for saying murder is bad. Cool beans.

Shadowbanned may have been the wrong term. I think it’s actually just an account lockout.

By all objective measures, so did the person replying to me. They’re still galavanting around lemmy advocating for murder.

Oh Bill…

I mourn what it was, yes.

There was a recent comment I read about how it’s become this incredible resource for the most obscure tech issues and they were reluctant to delete their posts and accounts because they’d receive random messages of thanks years after a tech resource post was made.

And it’s true. Reddit has become an invaluable resource for these kinds of things. Not only that, but it’s one of the few places that exists on the web where cohesive and coherent discussions even exist. It was always the community and discussion that made reddit great and they want to turn it into yet another swipebait infested serotonin sponge. I sincerely hope lemmy can take its place, but there are going to be some major growing pains if we get big influx of “redfugees.”

It almost makes me think that when something becomes such an enormous and invaluable public resource, there should be a legal compulsion to archive it before doing anything that will compromise its accessibility.___

Lemonade being fucking delicious isn’t reason enough?
