There was never any indication I was trying to change their behavior. It was pretty self explanatory that I was making others aware of it. Something they apparently give zero fucks about.

Reporting them for being toxic a dozen times has done jackshit, mods themselves agreeing with everything I’m saying here hasn’t either.

This is more the behavior I was talking about. You can't force the mods to do anything, all you can do is try, and continue to do so even as it continues to yield no meaningful results. Just like those pointing out the tragedy happening in Gaza understand their incessant posting isn't likely to change anything besides building solidarity with those who are suffering. But again, when people agree with the message behind a post, they aren't going to join you in brigading against the person posting it, even if he may be posting it for unscrupulous reasons.

At the end of the day this post didn't get anyone to vote for Trump, but it got people to think about Gaza just a little bit more, which is a good thing. If you want people to add their voices to yours crying out for OP's ban, you need to draw attention to it in places where they actually did something people will get upset about.
