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.

    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.

            Being in opposition to something doesn’t make you equivalent ideologically, also that’s a tu quoque fallacy, the same one you referenced in the original thread. We’ve come full circle.

            I’m done responding here, @ me in a different thread if you’re that desperate for engagement.

              It’s not a tu quoque. I’m calling out your double standard. It’s a pot calling the kettle black
