kamala Harris, as a da, locked people up and refused parole to keep them as slaves fighting fires.
mod says it’s misinfo (probably without fact checking) and removes the comment

Look, that’s the entire reason I disliked her as VP and as a candidate.
But the words you used, the way you used them do not accurately represent the facts of the matter.
So, yeah, it’s misinformation. When someone bends facts, that’s exactly what it is.
Hyperbole being presented as fact is just another form of misinformation.
Since the only action taken was removal of the comment, I can’t see any power tripping, just a difference of opinion about the precise definition of what makes up misinformation.
I can’t fully say YDI in this case, because you clearly weren’t acting in bad faith to break a rule.
But it also isn’t a clueless mod either.
It’s somewhere in between those two. The comment being removed was a justifiable action. If they’d done anything at all beyond that, it would have been over the line, but they didn’t.
Well, that screen shot does change things to a degree.
However, we have no way of seeing any reports you sent, or any messages with the mods.
Since both of those are cited as reasons for the ban alongside the comments, there’s a couple of ifs involved.
If those two reasons are accurate enough, then it would switch it entirely to YDI for the ban alone. You go around fucking with reports, you get banned, and you should be. But, again, nobody here can see that, so that’s a giant IF.
If the only factor was a claim of misinformation, I’d call PTB because the mod log does not back up a claim of repeated misinformation. Nor does your user history. The links you’ve posted, the comments you’ve made in the last month or so don’t have a pattern of misinformation at all, though you do have a habit of hyperbole that might read as pushing an agenda. IMO, that’s only a problem if you’re going crazy with it, or you’re beating the drum in inappropriate communities, and I’m not seeing that happening.
But, because the ban cites behaviors we can’t see, it doesn’t serve to change my opinion on the original matter of the removal. The removal itself, not power tripping. The ban might be, but it could also be totally justified.
I will say that it is entirely possible that the mod in question could be exaggerating those other reasons, because that kind of thing does happen. But that makes the ban as evidence of power tripping useless.
