• They shouldn’t have been banned imo because they were increasingly hostile because I was increasingly annoying. I mean sure they’re a lib too but what do the mods expect when i start responding to lengthy replies with varying equivalents of “lol suck me off liberal,” that’d engender hostility in most people

        (but he called me an idiot so i checked out, i’m not gonna read 10 paragraphs from someone talkin shit at me)

          Yeah I’m with you there. I don’t think people like that should be banned so quickly. Like yeah they were rude but now they’re most likely back in a lib space where they won’t be exposed to this kind of information which could possibly help them to keep moving left. Instead now they’ll just keep on libbin’ with maybe a bit of extra “the tankies were mean to me” to go with it

          on the other hand, telling a liberal to suck off me and then seeing them immediately get banned before they can reply is one of the best parts of the site

          I’ve noted that a good % of new libs seem to think hiding behind left-adjacent names and/or non-cis pronouns will protect them from moderation.

          I recall this one lib in particular complaining/defending their ass-takes by repeatedly reminding the thread their name was taken from a leftist.

          They still got banned haha! Goofy, the lot of em

        • I got the impression they were a rad lib on a hopefully leftward trajectory. I think they shouldn’t have been banned imo because like, how else will they ever be cured of their rad libbery other than by exposure to actual communists
