Ratio is meaningless. Communities are not democracies, and mods have every right to ensure people don’t get into bad-faith arguments. Additionally, some instances have downvotes turned off and some users don’t bother with them even if they’re on. Votes are necessarily a biased sample, so pointing to your ratio is about as useful as saying, “But look how many chocolate coins I got!”
Anyway, removing a comment about Tankies doesn’t mean you support Tankies, especially when it’s obvious ragebait. “You don’t agree with me, therefore you’re against me” is irrational.
Also, anticapitalist ≠ Tankie, just as being a communist or socialist or anarchist isn’t equivalent. It just means you don’t like capitalism. How that perspective is expressed in each community will vary, and just because Tankies don’t like capitalists doesn’t mean that it follows that everyone who doesn’t like capitalists is also a Tankie.
There was no argument as you implied, I just made a comment which was perfectly aligned with the community and post it was made on but perfectly disaligned with the Tankie mods.
Right. There was no argument, because the mods prevented one.
If you feel their actions were unjust, bring it up with the mods. Make your case, and appeal their decision. Based on your other comments, however, it just seems like you’re looking for sympathy.
It got seen by over a dozen people with no problem and wasn’t even questioned by four people with a problem, but more importantly it was topical and only insulted people who wish us harm so whether it would have created a discussion or not should be fine unless the mods were Tankies.
I will not lower myself to beg Tankies to be on their Tankie Community, thats beyond stupid.
