The only reason to get mad at someone calling you a bad leftist is if you think it might be true. People will absolutely prey on your insecurity to make themselves feel like their chronic posting habit is praxis. The solution is to not be insecure. Be humble, do honest self-critique. Don't let lonely people work out their frustrations on you. There is a difference between pipe-lining and emotional blackmail.
Also speaking of silently encouraging, mods decided to return to the locked and done with thread and the only action taken was to remove the post by the person that got harrassed(which if they had done so from the start would have avoided all of this). Dont think Ive seen a toxic atmosphere like that in any other comm.
I haven’t even received any form of feedback or response to the inquiry I sent to them personally.
All I’m getting is that on this website you are allowed to be as aggressive and confrontational as you want even to the point of harassment so long as you post on c/vegan or belong to a wrecker clique of the same 5-6 people who desperately need to log off
Thats really the only reasonable conclusion to make when encountering any of this shit, if its gonna be like this the least they could do would be to stop bullshitting and deflecting about it and instead just spell it out in the rules that its gonna be this way from now on.
I’m just going to report any harassment I see on sight, and disengage every time they try some shit
Looks like reporting won’t be enough if you are in the wrong comm because admins don’t see reports. So if you are in a comm controlled by certain mods then you will be banned and harassed further
Admins are apparently ok with this arrangement
