About a year ago, someone got banned for criticizing a person for comparing the meat industry to chattel slavery, and another mod resigned because the person who made the comparison was, in turn, never banned.

10 months back u/purr said:

"comparing chattel slavery to animal slavery/ comparing blacks to animals in general [is pretty racist]"

in response u/aph0t1c said "Slavery is slavery, regardless of who is enslaved. Trillions of animals are caged and forcefed hormones so they grow up way too fast to the point their body can’t actually handle the weight and then they’re slaughtered for the pleasures of humans who have no need to eat them."

u/purr understandably got offended and was indignant about this comment. She was banned for apparently being annoying. A mod also removed a statement u/purr made about being a black person.

u/aph0t1c's comment and profile is up to this day.

u/aph0t1c also made this comment later: "It’s left-larping idpol radlibs poisoning the leftist movement with cowardice."

this incidence was brought up on em-poc 5 months ago moderator u/Melon brought it up to the mod team and admins this what she later said: https://hexbear.net/post/172205/comment/2127003

"In case anyone is to be curious of my whereabouts, I am retiring this account for two reasons. One is the normal spring cleaning that should be done. 2 years! Way too long. The other reason is because I brought up this issue with purr in the moderator chat, and was not satisfied by the admin response. I felt it reflected poorly on their priorities, as they refuse to revisit the possible unbanning of purr, even if only as a gesture of self-crit and goodwill. However, the issue probably deserves to be laid to rest. Hopefully this obscure comment in a dead thread will be a graceful enough “exit”. I will still be :amogus: but not as a mod or on this account. I need to come up with another nice username in the meantime."

I've now brought this up a couple of times, and it seems like whenever I do, my posts get silenced and removed, given the reasoning that what I'm saying is 'misinformation'. It would be great if a mod could explain just what is misinformation, and why they took the actions that they did because literally no one has addressed it to this day.
