You're not wrong but this is kind of one of them Bobby Hill memes where they can't read...

But the place you chose to do this... I don't think you can read either.

Let them have their safe spaces. You don't go into vegan communities and talk about how great carnivore is... Even though you may not be technically wrong....

I think links to / screenshots of context and the specific comments would be helpful in judging this. Also this might even get removed because those are missing.

PTB. But the kys insult is the most stupid insult I ever heard. When people tell it to me I laugh.

Leave logic at the doorstep when going into communities. All communities have their biases, unfortunately, and this is just one way it'll show up. If you go against the mores of a group you'll get banned, have your comments removed etc.

I am in favour of non-violence and can understand where they're coming from in this case, being another demographic that is persecuted similarly. It's a case of reverse discrimination gone to its extreme (i.e. wanting their death). One could argue it's fair because the people on the other side (JK Rowling) want the same, and worse, are actively funding anti-trans legislation. This type of persecution kills.

Emotionally, it's justified, although I know and agree that it doesn't really help or resolve anything. Wanting Rowling dead doesn't save dead or dying trans people. Reverse discrimination isn't useful and isn't something I'd aspire to, but it depends on what stage someone is in of going through shit, their current environment, and also just what they value in general.

I've found that moderators in general aren't typically mature and censor anything that bothers them even if it isn't a logical decision (note that I am not saying X group of people has to "forgive" another group to be mature).

Unfortunately, you fell afoul of the most common of forum errors. You didn't check the community.

Now, while that community doesn't have a rule about that twat, and has rules against that kind of rhetoric in general (as in violent rhetoric), you do have a degree of responsibility of vibe checking a place before you jump in.

You also have to take into account instances on the fediverse. You can't just roll into .ml and preach capitalism, and you can't go into a blahaj and defend a known bigot. It's never going to end well.

I do think the ban was a tad much overall, though a temporary cool off one would have been fine. A temp ban based on the tone and phrasing of your comments would be totally justified.

And the reason given was absolutely bullshit. Rowling stan does nothing useful, it just sets up an antagonistic paradigm of mod vs users instead of a controlled curation.

Despite that, I can't see a PTB being the right call, but it wasn't a total YDI either. The extent of the action was too far, but done in good faith despite that
