Translation: Please do not remind me about reality. I’m not equipped to deal with it so I will blame people who talk about it instead. I guess you live in a red municipality that will not be occupied by the military, like Orem Utah, where Charlie Kirk was assasinated.
Yeah, obviously people are hostile. Mods are making the opening move in the interaction – they’ve nullified the user’s thoughts and feelings usually without notice or warning. That happens. It also happens that some rando is totally obnoxious for no apparent reason and then gets angry when their content is removed. Then to get it reversed you have to prove your worth as a human to a faceless bureaucracy. Only to, usually, get told no; your idea didn’t actually have any worth. That happens. It also happens that people post with complete disregard to reasonable rules. Yes, many subreddits have too many and unreasonable rules. Sometimes all people need to do is to clarify where they were coming from. I’ve been on both sides of that. I’m just saying if your point is “consider the human” mods are very often guilty. True. Often they aren’t and often the users are the problem. Often people simply take umbrage because it was THEIR content that was policed. Many adults, on and off reddit, lack the ability to admit they are wrong or that others have a point. So you get threads like this where ALL MODS ARE CONTROL FREAKS filling up the comments.
