That doesn't mean you and him don't share common behavior patterns, especially when it comes to the trolling and the abusive behavior.

If you want to cry about me being "abusive" towards actual trolls and abusers (you know, those who glorify violence and genocide), then that's on you, I honestly don't care. I've took enough unwarranted abuse here to know that I'm on the right side, because I'm not the one who sympathizes with literal terrorists and murderers. And yes, fuck those people, including mods! I will stand by that until I'm banned in the entire Fediverse if I have to, I'll block any abusive mods and all of their communities anyway. I'm not gonna start sucking Hamas cock & be okay with blatant disinformation, just because it's the cool thing to do here.

Yeah I trust db0 a hell of a lot more than I trust the likes of you, but I can still verify what you've said, and yeah. 100% justified. I'm surprised he didn't ban you permanently for such blatantly bad faith behavior.

You can't since they removed the comments, but here's one that shows where it all started; That's the logic and agenda db0 operates under, but I'm the one arguing in bad faith? You're doing the same mistake that people on Reddit did; trusting random ass moderators not being on a power trip and pushing their own agendas.

"Everyone against me is a Terrorist Extremist!!!1!!!1!11" You unironically. Probably what you think of everyone who isn't screaming accusations at people and calling them names.

"Probably" - very confident. I'm offensive towards those who literally make excuses & sympathize with Hamas, who call to the death of Israel, who think murder & mob rule is justified. I'm not making accusations to people who do not do that, I'm doing it towards all the terrorist simps on this platform, which are plentiful. Even the freaking Lemmy devs are literal Tankies, or are you going to deny that too?

You are expected to maintain basic civility regardless, and you are also expected not to make random unmerited accusations towards others.

They're neither random nor unmerited. They're observable facts based on the complete bullshit that people on here constantly say. This isn't even in any sort of way new or unexpected, it's well known that Lemmy is housing a lot of Tankie extremists with very questionable views. When the moderators refuse to moderate such content, I'm of course not going to be nice to them. I don't care if they ban me for speaking out and having a clear stance, that still makes them worse than me.

It's obvious you were deflecting because even you can't be that daft to think that I meant user score when I said reputation.

LOL It shows the quality of ones postings. The Linkerbaan was in the negatives by the thousands for his trolling. If I was such a troll, like you're claiming, then I'd be too. But outside of reacting strongly towards people with extremist views I'm actually a completely reasonable person, giving helpful advice where I can. In Germany we say "As one calls into the forest, it resounds." and I'm merely resounding the tone that's being used by others. So yes, if you call for genocide or murder, expect me to respond in kind. But feel free to ignore the context behind those moderator actions and just do your mental gymnastics to to feed your confirmation bias. Doesn't make you right, but at least you can get that cozy feeling about it.

Yes they would indeed. When and if they get caught...

Which is why whistleblower protections should be a thing. Aside from that, it's not like this that uncommon to happen. The thing is that it's not that easy to hide as you make it out to be, but of course you expect that things like this happen anyway, even though you have no proof of it happening, which is why you argue that it is pointless trying to enforce it anyway, which again, is stupid and exactly the outcome such companies want.

Do you and I not live in the same world because the world I know has a large number of known white-collar criminals who stole money, or violated laws secretly to avoid spending more money and increase profits because they didn't think they'd get caught doing it.

Well, if they did not get caught, then you would not know about it. If they did get caught, then laws seem to actually work. So something does not add up in your world.

Of course they fucking would, do you know what's better than a slim chance of being caught?

I guess that's a little better than your original assessment of it being useless. Progress!
