LOL… you’re not doing yourself any favors by insulting the people accusing you of power tripping.
For the record: removing comments that violate no rules just for simply disagreeing with a post- without giving reason for each removal, and then updating the post with flimsy reasoning for removal is by definition- BAD MODERATING.
And If you can still find yourself defending your decision to silence people simply for disagreeing with your point- you have no business being a moderator.
Have you ever moderated a community? Glass houses…
I allowed free discussion on that post for a day. A post about organizing against Trump and fascism. And it wasn’t until the discussion degraded into apathy, negativity and discouragement that I decided that it was necessary, for the spirit of the post, to remove comments. I could not allow the melancholy of insecure individuals to influence participation in a protest movement that hopefully will save America. Judging by the reactions, it was necessary and warranted.
As for insults- Don’t insult me, and I won’t insult you.
