Thing is, I’m not being “pugnacious”. I think I’m being very straightforward and just telling you that your assumptions about your relationship to them are fundamentally wrong! Of course you’re allowed to dislike it! I think your criticism has a point of validity to it, but also a serious level of entitlement that you expect some sort of “customer service” from them - such as a menu of expectations or norms that you were expected to follow. I’m not sneering at you because you’re being excluded, I’m sneering at your assumption that you have some sort of relationship with these moderators or the community such that they have to respect or cater to you. Frankly, as someone who has run a community, it’s a lot of work and there’s a lot of people who just de facto expect you to give them a level of service that they have come to expect from social media _companies_, that frankly, they’re not entitled to. It’s a community, not a product!
