    I won’t reveal who reports who, but I will say it was someone else.

    The civility rule is NOT ambiguous:

    “Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members.”

      All good but this moderation approach is censoring non-problematic content because some people have poor reading comprehension and/or don’t understand sarcasm.

      I would expect them to get better instead of content getting diluted.

      @eldavi@lemmy.ml did confirm that he did not report me, so this is literally some third party injecting themselves into a discussion. Either way, rules can be used by faith actors to stifle speech, that’s how it works on reddit. I would posit context should be counted when issuing removals.

        It literally doesn’t matter who reported it, you broke the civility rule. Had I come across the comment organically I still would have removed it.

        Don’t attack other users. Full stop.
