For context, I generally report all calls to violence, no matter who the “victim” is, whether they are a public figure or an anonymous user. I didn’t even register that the person I was “defending” was rich—I’m just aware that calls to violence are against most instances’ terms of service (due to legal threats). Genuinely sorry seahorse! I wish you just had something in your instance sidebar or even spoke to me instead of jumping to ban and “lib” insults!

Unverifiable information you will have to take my word for (per community rules)

Apologized to seahorse and got:

My own personal curiosities only adjacently related

Correct me if I’m wrong, isn’t this a bit of an abuse of federation? This is the same admin that pulled the move with the doxxing of Nick Fuentes. By banning users for reporting content that may violate our local instance rules, seahorse is making our local instances harder to moderate for our admins. (Honestly I respect the commitment to the running a very open and uncensored instance, but until Lemmy has the option to only report to local admins versus local & federated authorities, this may not be the best strategy?)

Anyway, this is pretty interesting. I’m honestly not too pressed about this (mostly I will miss !theonion@midwest.social) and curious what yall think. :)

      i remember when the word liberal was a tool to define policy, now it’s just a toy word to throw around when upset these days 👵

        These days people use it a lot as an insult but I’m sorry, someone calling a right wing person “liberal” sounds stupid to me. While I do know that there can be right-wing liberals, many are left wing. Honestly when I see someone saying liberal to insult someone or imply they’re an alt-right fascist. It just comes off to me as Hexbear brain rot, which is quite common in instances which haven’t given Hexbear the boot.
