1. Mod of [email protected] posts a great Greta Thunberg quote, but then tries to use it to justify not voting in the upcoming US election

Using your mod powers to decide who is allowed and not allowed to speak is not very anarchist of you, @[email protected]

    That’s an interesting argument I haven’t seen before.

    While I obviously wouldn’t support anyone dumb enough to make a new post to explicitly promote a candidate, I think the mod basically egged these comments on in this case by going to great lengths to promote not voting for this specific candidate, thus feeding into the spectacle. I would understand if all such comparison of candidates was treated the same; however, that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

      Someone commented under the post, advocating for the Green Party, and the mod left it up but deleted and banned people who replied to that person and brought up the whole “impossible to overestimate the consequences” thing.

      I didn’t do anything similar to what poVoq is claiming I did, as you’re pointing out. But the people who did do that, the mod left alone, banning people who objected.

      I’m done litigating this at this point, but I did get tempted into coming back to point that one thing out.

      Edit: Phrasing

        ehhhh while it’s close, i wouldn’t call “I would not condemn anyone who refuses to vote for genocide” outright support for the green party

          Since it’s going to be shit either way, remember that getting Greens to the 5% threshold is attainable.
