That's not the only account I had where people from piefed pointed me toward those coms and claimed lemmy.ml is authoritarian. You can check this one's history, too. Admittedly, I conflate what happens on my various accounts, and it was more than one user in that comment section.
By definition, lemmy.ml is not authoritarian, so that's not a "gotcha."
I didn't recant a word choice, I was being diplomatic after the person I was debating with took a (fair) issue with it so I rephrased it.
I find it hard to believe you looked at that whole thread and that's what you got out of it. I stand by everything I've said, even if I've had to make the occasional apology, on every account — That's why I'm transparent about all my accounts in my bio, the place you found my piefed.
And, I mean, why so serious? My nerves aren't struck, which is why I said I support piefed. Going through my history and writing an essay about it, on the other hand...
Edit: a word, grammar.
Lemmy.ml is ABSOLUTELY authoritarian. Just look at their modlog. They have a vague “rule 1” rule rhst basically means the admins discretion. The mods are flaccid and uselesss while the admins do all the moderation, and on room of that, they even ban people for posting shit in non .ml instances!
Quit with the apologia.
.ml is completely voluntary and I can see everything going on in it. Being dicks isn't the same thing as being authoritarian. I don't have a problem with pre-emptive banning as a concept, so we'll disagree there because trans coms ban people who've never posted to them, too.
I don't know what the "mods are useless" thing is about. Looks like they manage their communities normally?
On top of that, .ml is one of the biggest instances, so "they" is a lot of different people. Kinda like how people say .world is full of trolls, or sh.itjust.works is a nazi bar, or .today is right wing.
