Personal attacks and derision of my point of view were what I experienced right before being called a troll and banned.
Its unfortunate that some social spaces are uncomfortable with divergent viewpoints.
- panarky 7y agoSounds like Tildes is not the right community for you.
- Fjolsvith 7y agoExactly. Not as wide of a variety of ideas, opinions and world views as you make it out to be.
- scrollaway 7y agoOr maybe it is wide, and your opinions are just really out there (or you really were in fact an asshole.). If everyone keeps calling you out, it's possible the problem isn't with everyone. I'm not saying that's always the case, I'm just pointing out the odds aren't in your favour.
- Fjolsvith 7y agoPerhaps. But culling an invite-only community tends to result in an echo chamber.
- scrollaway 7y agoI don't remember how many bans there have been on Tildes to date but it's either two or three, and they're always a big deal. So I don't know about your definition of "culling".
- Fjolsvith 7y agoCulling means the removal of something with undesirable traits. And when the mod locks an account without explanation, I'm sure that the community doesn't notice.
- scrollaway 7y ago> Culling means the removal of something with undesirable traits. You just defined "moderation". Just because you call it culling doesn't make it so. And your bad-faith approach in this thread makes me think if you were indeed banned from Tildes (which I'm starting to doubt), it was the right call. Question yourself.
