Context: PugJesus often spams low quality posts across the dozen or so communities they mod, apparently downvoting low effort spam on my frontpage is trolling. The only other action in the modlog is a different ban for 74 years for “Mass downvoting innocuous content,” so it definitely seems they are just banning people that dislike their spam. Glad we’re not missing out on the reddit mod experience here.
That one seemed to me to miss the point entirely - like even if PJ was a PTB, overall (I have no idea), that’s not what seems to be happening here, which is supposed to be the point of this post.
Which of course was presented without any evidence supporting OP’s claim, and where they ironically provided a bunch of evidence to the contrary instead (e.g. admitting to mass-downvoting).
Freedom means that your rights end where someone else’s begins, subject to the natural laws of the universe.
Except ofc to authoritarians who want what they want and also for no-one else to have the same, and where truth vs. falsehood depends on who said something rather than reality. “Freedom”, along with every other word, means whatever they want it to mean in that moment of time, as a tool to achieve their objective.
