Waaaay back when it happened (feels like months but wasn't it just a few weeks?) there was a mod who didn't understand things and removed some comments they shouldn't. What I remember blowing up was removal of a comment just mentioning jury nullification was a thing. The mod thought because you'd get removed from a jury for talking about it, it was against US law to talk about it.
Which is incredibly ignorant.
Going off memory tho admins stepped in quickly and clarified what was ok.
So if you want to talk about a past issue and how it was resolved, that's fine.
But it's a different conversation than what we're having, which is about post admin clarification
So, you want how things are being run today? Great. A comment was removed 22 hours ago that simply said “Luigi did nothing wrong”, and the reason given was "wrongful advocacy". Check the modlogs.
There is currently a mod who doesn't understand things and is removing some comments they shouldn't. Present tense.
No idea why you're being so vague....
This?

Looks like a mod replied and then deleted so not sure what they said.
But yeah, those comments don't seem to violate .world's TOS, and I have no idea why a mod would have deleted them. But mods can be stricter than the instance.
I'm not sure why you're blaming the whole instance for what one mod is doing.
Edit:
The thread title is "how to fight fascism" which is important context I missed earlier.
So yeah, the first comment saying just "Luigi" could very easily be considered a call to violence. Then the next one say "did nothing wrong" also makes sense to remove.
I'm not sure why you claim I'm being vague when I directly quote an entire comment.
You said "it’s against the terms of service, so the comment gets removed". I pointed to a comment that did NOT violate terms of service, but got removed. You defended the instance with a faulty statement. All I did was point it out.
And no, it wasn't a call to violence. If the statement was "we need more Luigis", then THAT's a call to violence. Just saying "he did nothing wrong" is the same as saying you hope he gets a jury nullification. It's just taking his side.
"Luigi" was the response to "how do we fight fascism"...
That is the context you were avoiding by not linking.
This isn't an argument, I'm trying to explain something to you.
I wasn't talking about the "Luigi" comment. I was talking about the "did nothing wrong" comment. The "Luigi" comment can be seen as a call to violence, but the "did nothing wrong" comment was just a sign of support, not a call to violence. And the "did nothing wrong" comment was removed FIRST.
I fully understand what you're saying. You're just wrong.
That doesn't take the other ones out of the question though.
