Got a 7 day ban on !memes@lemmy.ml after responding to this very abusive commenter with this image:
I reported their abusive comments somewhat expecting to get banned as well. It came as a shock to me when i saw my ban but this commenter got off scot-free. They didn’t even so much as get a single abusive comment removed.
This is the most blatant double standard I’ve encountered on that instance.

Did you read the entire thread?
You started with an attack on everyone specifically to get into fights. Not sure what you consider good faith

Telling someone that they’re making a strawman argument and that i think that’s broadly how they argue is an attack now?
Being antagonistic for the sake of scoring points is.
Then coming here to act the victim is worse
Clearly you haven’t read my post then cuz it’s about the double standard and not whether you think i was right or wrong or being a bitch
I did and it does not at all come off that
Amazing rebuttal
Thanks good friend
yep, your entire issue was that the OP meme wasn’t addressing your specific reason for not liking China, when people said that ‘china bad’ is constantly moving goalposts you were like ‘well, my goalposts are here’
It may not be your criticism, but it’s absolutely a common criticism. If you search ‘china collapse’ on YouTube you get an endless stream of videos about how their real estate is imploding, their ghost cities are made out of tofu, that they’re going to run out of water and food, the three gorges dam is going to collapse because it’s made of inferior materials and badly designed, these types of videos will have millions of views.
So because you and your friends think I’m wrong i all of a sudden wasn’t engaging in good faith debate?
What was stopping that commenter and other commenters from responding the way you just have as opposed to attacking me or trying to be all “erhm actually 🤓☝️” on whether whataboutism is a real fallacy or not?
from what I can tell your first post was literally ‘erhm this is logical fallacy’, and you got people making fun of you for that. You were looking for a response and you got it. Like I said I probably would have given given a timeout to both parties at the point where it’s just exchanging insults.
Different people approach things differently and I’m not interested in getting into a slap fight with you.

is this good faith arguing? 🤔
No it’s not, and i wasn’t intending it to be so
At least we agree it was extremely rude
🤝
maybe you should stick to meanwhile on grad if people disagreeing with you is such a problem
I disagree with people all the time on .world as well. The problem is thinking you’re somehow still right or rational when your views are so extreme that people defederate from or block your whole instance.
It’s prim and pure delusion.
Incredible bait. That’s actually argumentum ad populum; centrist extremists isolating themselves from opposing views doesn’t mean that their view’s correct, or their opposition is wrong, no matter how many of them there are.
I wonder how a Nazi would say their version of this🤔
