Hurts

He's been banned and (most) of the comments removed.

I mean, modlogs on LW are publicly viewable, feel free to check mine out where you’ll see I did not ban you from anything.

I didn't ban you, an admin did, but you can go on making yourself look stupid.

If enforcing instance-wide rules is an issue for you, I have bad news about any forums you choose to join in the future.

Not only is it against instance rules, but the comment was reported multiple times for being hateful and offensive, if it doesn't personally offend you that is wonderful, it doesn't change the bigoted nature of the word, and that it does offend some people. I gave OP 3 hours to edit the comment before I removed it, if anything that's quite the opposite of Reddit moderation, where you'd simply have a comment removed and receive a ban instantly.

Can you reword your comment to remove the word "retarded" please? Otherwise, I have to remove it as the admins have made it clear that this word is not welcome here due to its bigoted, hateful, and potentially offensive nature, and the use of the word as an insult is discouraged.

Received reports for the source-- as usual, these are evaluated on a case-by-case basis as FoxNews is not currently "blacklisted", it's just "not-preferred". After comparing this article to the one in the comments, they contain basically the same information and the conclusion is this particular post will be allowed to stay up. Many of the other links from Fox News have been taken down, not entirely because of the outlet, but because the content of the article went off the rails and did not match what other outlets had reported. If you have any discrepancies feel free to comment or tag me.

We respect that users may not want to click on links leading to Fox News, so as always we do encourage people to continue to post links to other outlets in the comments if you disagree with the source of any post (as ZephyrXero did here).

Removed, you can feel free to post the other article.

I have no idea, I'm not an admin, you'd have to contact them about that. They can be seen on the lemmy.world home page.

No one personally attacked you here, but in the future, if you feel someone has crossed the line you can use the report button. However, with the admitted instance-wide ban evasion I'm not sure how much longer this account will last either.

Yeah, so you're not banned here, I think you're banned on the instance as a whole. Even when I log out of my account your profile says "banned" at the top, which wouldn't show up regardless if you were simply banned from a community I moderate.

I'm not sure what your lemm.ee is (was), that link is just a direct link to the lemm.ee instance. I don't believe I banned it, and looking through the modlog I don't see any users of the same username banned within the last month at least, so I cannot give you an explanation unless you can give me the username and/or link(s).

I am going to remove it within the hour regardless, I'm just giving them the time to acknowledge this first and see that they're free to post the other link before I remove it and they can no longer reply to save the effort of them messaging the mods asking questions.
