The DM was a DM asking us to change our no tankies policy and remove the fuck tankies banner as it was apparently upsetting hexbear users. Apparently tankies view the word tankie as a form of slur. The admin wants us to ally as a form of "left solidarity"

Moss don't be leaking DM's in the future. You need to be tactical to be socially responsible. You could ask us - should we remove the banner? Or make a post saying that it may be upsetting Hexbears. I think the sentiment would have gone absolutely the same without showing your cards.

Dude can post anything sent to him

Yeah I agree. Leaking dms was totally the wrong move

How about removing my comments criticizing ableism and using ableist language in your modlog response? Was that also a bad move? Or you gonna stick by that one?

I've given you the benefit of the doubt, I've responded to your criticisms repeatedly, but I'm done. You are now banned

Let it rest, we've all seen that screenshot a dozen times now. Literally, let Moss rest. Mods are people too.

Let what rest? The fact I have been called a Nazi by this shithead reactionary mod and that hasn't been resolved?

Nah I tried to play nice but I am taking the gloves off now.

I'd rather you didn't harass my instance's moderators. I heard your community is defederating, right? Sounds like the decisions has been made for us already that we can agree to disagree.

Okay is removing my legitimate and diplomatically spoken terms and calling me "braindead" not harassment?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not from either instance but you come off as really unhinged here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There’s a whole boatload of drama, and this reaction is warranted

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Comes off as whiney and ineffective. This is social media, not a marriage.

Comes off as whiney and ineffective.

Yeah, you do.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Dude, get real

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

You are drawing out conflict rather than being the bigger person.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Don't listen to that dumbass, post whatever you feel like
