two separate topics.

• admin threatens account deletion (this post)
• mod bans admin for bringing the discussion directly to the comments instead of engaging in community engagement for change (other post)

tired of this boring conversation. blocked.

I think I would be 100% fine with this progression if there had been a meta post. Your instincts are good they just have some holes.

heard but no. it’s not a meta post as it clearly is about actions that happened before whatever is described in the other post, and outside this community.

you seem confused about what meta means; meta posts are about the community itself.

thank you for your input but if i added the meta tag it would make this post worse, not better.

That user wasn’t responding to anyone directly. It was an untargeted reply, its “call to action” was not to any user or even a political or public figure. This makes 100% of the difference, and it’s why your post is being received poorly.

If you are uncomfortable with that kind of comment or imagery that’s totally fair and you can block and report. But it’s obviously silly to act like that comment is in any way a safety concern.

fully agree! especially the part about it only being in a single community thats a key fact i should have mentioned :)

Yes. We agree. The admin has a right to address the issue they perceive. And as I said right after, users have the right to know that this is the swift, emotionally charged, and overbearing due process that the admin may choose to implement.

If there were any written rules or good faith communication of instance standards I would not be making this post.

ah in that case i stand corrected :(

I certainly feel there is room for growth and improvement in that individual admin.
