Then removes the post itself for “misinfo”.

Suffice to say I think that the mod was just salty that I posted something that was not praising Russia, idfk what they were thinking.

What do you think, is me telling a regular that they’re not prescient, banworthy “chauvinism”? Power trippin’ bastard or nah?

    Should we use the acronyms here too? NTA, YTA, ESH, NAH?

    If yes: N[ot] T[he] A[rsehole].

    I wouldn’t be surprised if the thought process of whoever banned you was like, "NATO bad. NATO fights Russia, so Russia good. Russia good, so Russia wins. If you say Russia might not win, you think Russia bad. "

    Because it’s how the cookie crumbles in .ml: always oversimplifying complex matters and conflating predictions (what you did) with prescriptions (what could be called “chauvinism”).

    The fact that it’s a 30d ban is also relevant. Not just because your post is almost 30d old; but because, outside very specific situations, it’s a sign of powertripping.

        Got it.

        I love the idea behind the community, by the way. I could see myself using it from all the sides - as a mod, as a user who had an issue with a mod, or as someone just chiming in.

    I read this thread yesterday before it was deleted and the article in original post was looking like fake news. Even on .world where this post still exists, highly upvoted comments are disqualifying one of two sources of this artice (and second one is report in anonimous telegram channel). So i wasn’t surprised when i discovered that this thread was deleted as “misinfo”.

    But i must admit that neither this post nor db0/yogsothoth discussion contained anything that could be labeled as chauvinistic. Therefore, it was shocking to see in modlog that the author of the post was banned for “chauvinism”.

    And another moment that comes to mind is the hexbear/dbzer0 drama, when a meme posted in piracy community by hexbear user was deleted by dbzer0 admin for equally far-fetched and flimsy reason. It seems strange to call .ml admins “Power Trippin’ Bastards” for doing exactly the same thing that your teammates do on your own instance.
