tw: death, blood, gore, irony

a bit of context

I posted an ironically edited Charlie Kirk shot gif, with what I thought at the time was sufficient warning and blockage, in response to someone saying we could ai generate a gif of Hitler’s suicide. I was making a comment on how such a thing couldn’t compare. All things considered I didn’t think my comment was in that poor taste, especially given I was actively editing to give even more warning and barriers. In the end it’s not a big deal, I expect no less, but come on, give me more than “nope”

Edit:

I kind of regret making the post but the dialogue might make it worth it.

to be clear, I never thought they were powertripping and/or bastards, this was just the most appropriate community for something that at the time I felt could use more discussion.

      I appreciate the transparency. Can you understand why I would expect a bit more of a justification? I’ll respect your action nonetheless.

        Not mod but it seems like from your own comment you didn’t want your link visible and you were asking if the markdown worked to hide it, to which mod responded “nope” and deleted the comment according to their perception of your wishes for the comment

          Good point. I guess it depends at which point in the process it was removed. And I suppose more importantly when it federated over from my instance.

        I’m a volunteer. I give the justification I have time for.

        Don’t like it? Be the change you want to see. Create a community and moderate it, or help moderate communities you care about.

          Probably could have explained your justification in the time it took you to justify why you couldn’t give your justification…

          But I myself am an avid employer of “no is a complete sentence” in my personal life, so I’m not mad about it.

          I do and I understand. That’s why I know users generally expect more, especially from larger communities.

          I don’t require further justification. This exchange is already more than I could have expected. Thank you for your time and have a good night.

            I’ll say this. I moderate large communities. Not because I want to, but because I can handle the mind fucks we see. Some things we have to see we can’t unsee, but we have to review all reports, like yours. We seldom take action on posts or comments that weren’t reported by the community, as there aren’t enough hours in the day.

      Oh, “Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.”

      I certainly wasn’t intending to bait but it could definitely be considered “charged” whether that was my intent or not. I can accept that conclusion. I kind of regret making the post but the dialogue might make it worth it.
