After some of the things I’ve read, it’s easy to consider anything at this point.
That title is word salad
It was too complex a concept to ask in simpler words.
Was going to answer this earlier but I thought maybe someone else might before I did.
Yes, you’re on the right track, give or take a little nuance. On Reddit, this would get someone banned in a heartbeat, which is arguably not entirely out of left field.
To explain it in summarized terms, basically there’s an admin of the ML instance and a community mod (the mod is from the community !casualconversation@lemm.ee).
The mod and the admin happened to meet up on a post about LGBTQ+ rights, the mod herself being on the asexual spectrum. The mod brought up (because she thought it was relevant, as a third party member I guess) that the American Democrat Party often appeals to groups (such as Islam, even not minding their extreme side) who have a history of not seeing eye to eye with the LGBTQ+.
The admin, who is known for being very articulate but reached a new low I’ve ever seen with this incident, tried getting his opinion in to no avail before removing half of her (the mod’s) replies there, banning her from a bunch of random communities to get a point across, effectively made her leave the instance, exposed private information of hers out of spite if that wasn’t enough, and then backlashed on Reddit when someone called him out on it.
Reading between the lines makes me think of the encounters I’ve had with Islamic extremists.

The mod and the admin happened to meet up on a post about LGBT rights. The mod brought up (because she thought it was relevant) that the American Democrat Party often appeals to entities (such as Islam) who have a history of not seeing eye to eye with the LGBT.
The admin, who is known for being fiery but met an all-time low with this incident, tried getting his two cents in, to no avail, before removing half of her (the mod’s) replies there, banning her from a bunch of random communities to get a point across, scared her out of the instance, exposed private information of hers out of spite, and then backlashed on Reddit when someone called him out on it.
The response of mine above includes my suggestion that not doing anything might as well amount to other instances being victim to manipulation.
Considering the presidential debate just happened in the US, it brings to mind election extremism as a means of propaganda.
Cool-headed? What was going on I wonder with the modlogs inferring he spammed the ban hammer against her in four different communities (three would be unrelated) before the initiation of official instance action (all with the default reason cited, like he wanted to drive the statement of a grudge home)? The only thing she was elaborating on was how counter-intuitive it is American Democrats split their sympathies between the LGBT and the complete creed of Islam (hence the part in the OP about the LGBT, of note is the fact her asexuality is alluded to in conversation almost each time corresponding to something like this happening). Honestly sounds like a particularly agenda-based sentiment.
Many weren’t public until he said anything and are connected to other personal info.
Show me a single place where they list every one of those profiles.
Did you really just dox someone twenty-fold and dismiss them as an intentional “firehose” of drama/nonsense without any proof/testimony/investigation whatsoever before banning them to get out of a debate? You guys are low.
Thanks, friend.
You’d be correct in your caution, as it just so happens that was all tried, to disastrous results.
At least you’ll have more time to work on original characters then. Which you do have, right?
They make those for eyes?
When someone in the artist community says OC, it always means that, and nobody ever actually spells it out. So my thinking was, if there were as many artists on here as I thought there would be, someone might have one they could talk about.
I didn’t know those existed.
That’s nice but that’s a performance art, the “arts” as opposed to a work of art.
Wouldn’t the paint particles float/wash away?
Epictetus mentions Jesus at least once. He lived during the reign of Nero.
