And the rest:

And the thread in question:

So we need to have a long and serious talk about the authoritarian chucklefucks you all are allowing to dominate your platform, for this is an example of this flagrant bullshit someone else DMed me recommending I go to admins about, but we all know the admins are a group of Good Ole Boys who will do nothing but protect the mod. 🤦

So why is everyone putting up with this? Did we not leave Reddit to get away from power tripping scumbags? Do people not want a community ruled by the consent of its people? People were flagging shit based on bad faith arguing which last I checked falls under that sub’s first rule.

Oh, but telling a mod “no” is unacceptable. 🤦

We all need to come together and create an actual democratic platform because this is blatant authoritarianism and is not acceptable.

Oh, icing on the cake:

    Oh are you paying the bills here?

    Are you hosting your own instance with blackjack and hookers and then moderating and federating and defederating appropriate instances?

    No? You’re just another free user? Who feels like they get to denigrate people?

    Ok

      We all pay bills in the real world, my friend, and we accept the principles of democracy so we CAN pay bills and not be lorded over by dipshit wannabe tinpot tyrants.

      But we both know you just don’t want to admit you’re wrong about this. I’m sure the other guy who was threatened to be banned for speaking out as well thinks that’s a perfectly okay way to accept users.

      Actually .world requires user donations to function anyway so your point is DOUBLY moot
