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.

    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.
