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.

    BPR not sure on what planet your behaviour would be classified as ’ good faith’. You look like you were trying to provoke a response, and you got it.

    not a fan of the ableism from /u/Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml either. I would have removed those comments and possibly temp banned them too.

        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

        OP is trying to frame it like most criticisms of China are based on infrastructure as opposed to other things.

        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.

                  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.
