I was working a report against you, and as I wrote my response, the other mod banned you. I tried reaching out to you, and you had blocked me.
Once someone blocks me, I stop investigating, as I can't work with them to resolve it.
No lies here.
So one mod can have an argument then go postal with bans when it doesnt go their way, while the other hasn't even had a chance to review anything or communicate with the other mod. Looks like some major issues at Politcal Memes. If you had reviewed it and found your co-mod completely wrong for the ban, then what?
Either way, WrenFeathers and his actions are a reflection on Political Memes as a whole, especially the vindictivness and lying about the private messages to get me banned from the instance, and I want nothing to with a community ran by mod(s) who discriminate and abuse their position.
The issue is that you cut me out before I had a chance to respond, and now you're calling me a corrupt mod.
What should I have done, when any avenue to reach out to you was gone?
Should you have been banned? No. A warning would have been enough, I think. And yes, a warning was justified. You had just said that anybody who down votes you is a fascist, when many people down vote people looking for a fight, and not just the message.
But again, you closed off any possibility of me working with you, and went running here to call me corrupt.
I appreciate it, but it's still shouldn't even have been an issue suggesting people who disagreed must be fascist or zionist. I can be wrong there, but it's not grounds for censorship.
Look, it seems you have a more level head on your shoulders than your mate. Maybe have them removed if they discriminate, harass users and unjustly ban them not only from the community, but went further to get .world admins to ban me from the instance.
I don't have direct contact with the admins any longer. I was actually out of the house yesterday on a date day with my wife when this all went down, and was trying to help from my phone. I'm sure the mod team will have a discussion on this soon.
