We don't have much of a choice.
Not because of real users, but bots. We've seen a huge influx of bots lately, to the point different instances have different solutions.
I know of one instance that is planning on removing all comments and posts of users that delete within a week of being created, as there is a group with an agenda doing this.
Without knowing the context, I'd say PTB, because they did a ban with removal, thereby hiding the validity of the ban.
Knowing the context, yeah, same outcome.
You posted slurs.
That's why it was a ban.

I appreciate your choices. I really do. I won't stop eating meat, but you are welcome to your own choices. Just don't try pushing them on me.
Reported for trolling. This isn't trolling. It's shitposting.

I was going to make a fork, governed by the users to ensure PTB features weren't present.
Is there already a decent fork, to save me time?

Before reporting: I'm a mod
With Texas and other states forcing religion in public schools, this now is political.
Comments have gone off the rails.
Locking this down
