I just got banned from [email protected], which seems to be the biggest Linux community out there.
For context, it was about the recent Vaxerski incident, where I shared my personal opinion about the whole gender stuff. I wasn’t even trying to be hurtful against anyone, just shared my 2 cents in an already ongoing conversation.
Sure, ine might not agree with my opinion, and I don’t agree with others, and this is totally normal. But at least we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else… without having a mod intervening into the conversation
So to all the mods out there: Your personal opinion does not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don’t align with yours!
What you fail to understand is that in cyberspace, people can do whatever they want to do.
You say mods don’t have this or that right, but rights don’t enter into it. They have that power, and they use that power.
ML is a brittle place based on a lie. Expecting them to behave in a fair way toward opinions was extremely naive of you.
I’ve heard about them, but I thought this was only in (political) communities I don’t even participate in.
