yes

you take this lemmy thing a bit too seriously lol

yeah i don’t care, they’re unbanned now and weren’t banned when they made the post either.

I’m not explicitly anti-communist. I’m suspicious of them because communism is unrealistic.

I did stop replying, but then Communist started DMing me. There were also the reports on him, and by him.

It’s a bad idea for a mod to block a user, because then I’d never be able to see anything they do.

Besides, it’s always a temp-ban, it isn’t even active anymore

Normally I would, but can’t as mod.

It’s not so much a negative bias, but moreso that a lot of tankies call themselves communist as a way to weasel out of their extremism. – I’m not a tankie, I’m just a humble communist, honest!

Multiple users made reports on him, and he also made reports on them. Most of which are ‘arguing in bad faith’ – Both of them. What would you do when a user doesn’t understand stop or move on?

It’s because you continue to argue with users even after they’ve asked you to stop. You’ve had multiple reports, and you’ve also made multiple reports of your own.

If you’re reporting the person you’re arguing with, and they’re also reporting you, then it’s not very productive, is it? So to satisfy your urge to argue, I engaged with you until you said nonsense about what Marx said, and I countered with a direct quote from him. But despite that, you ignored it and changed your phrasing, and made a thread to brigade, as you often do.

And all bans are temporary anyway, even now you’re unbanned and free to resume arguing. Bans on the community work with a warning first, then a ban, but bans only last 24 hours, and each subsequent infraction doubles the amount. You may request an unban at any time, which you never did. No other community on Lemmy is as lenient. None of your comments are removed. I also get a lot of DMs and a lot of harassment from Tankies, they’ve even tried to dox me a few times. MOG is the only active community that stands against them, and I’ve seen every method they use, which you are using. From the community’s perspective, you are one of these tankies, and as moderator, I have to put the community first before a single user.

You also messaged me 15 different times to continue arguing, often within the same 24 hours of your ban. What do you expect me to do when you ignore your ban, just to argue directly? What do you expect me to do when you report every user you’re arguing with? What do you expect me to do when you don’t know what no means? You can’t control yourself. As I said multiple times, you’re not looking to argue but instead to harass, which you are right now doing by making this thread.

You are a sealion. You were banned for harassing multiple users. And the fact you report them when they argue back shows that you don’t actually care to engage, but just to sling mud. – Again, you’re unbanned with no comments removed

You’re talking absolute nonsense, dude. There’s no such thing as resetting the economy.

No visa extensions? That’s going to cause economic chaos, dude! Immigrants are a money-maker, removing them is just going to hit our ecnonomy. :(

What does it mean for those industries? They can hire people that are still here. Those fields aren’t held together by immigrants lol. You’re just eating up the lies about “we need more skilled immigrants!”

Yes, they are. If we can’t even conclude that fact then there’s nothing that can convince ya.

You were trying to do a “Gotcha! You’re racist!” thinking that I only wanted to stop “brown people” from coming here, weren’t you?

It’s not racist to want fewer immigrants from certain countries. Some countries and cultures aren’t entirely compatible.

Realistically we need a few million population decrease - at least 5 million - in order to dig ourselves out of this situation. Instead Labor (and the LNP to a slightly lower extent) want to keep importing people so they get more tax and can make it look like the economy is flourishing.

Labor’s brought in fewer immigrants than the LNP has. And removing five million? That’s insane. How’s that improve the economy?

You’re also implying that I’m pro-immigration, I’m not. We have too many, but that’s because we used immigration to hold up Australia after Covid. Now we’re in a tough spot where we need to remove them, but can’t risk it economically.

So what about the current immigration? The ones already here

What does that mean for the medical field, transportation, and cleaning? Immigrants are currently holding together all of these industries.

Is it just immigration from Asia or are we cool with immigration from America and Europe?

Because you said you didn’t vote for either, but all votes typically end up going to one or the other.

But what do you want done about immigration? Is it only immigration?

If your preferred party didn’t get any seats, you voted for the ALP or LNP.

Why would you prefer LNP when they were the ones who introduced more immigration?

Isn’t declining culture war ideology a positive thing? Australia has a strong sense of community and identity politics destroys that

Hopefully it’ll just be a “Are you over 16?” box.

Digital ID sounds fucking disastrous.

I’ve experienced wokeness in real life. I was told by a woman that I hate Taylor Swift because of sexism.

No, I hate her because she’s an environmental hazard and bland. There is also a lot of mockery of lonely men, where their anxieties and fears are handwaved away

You also can’t say it isn’t present in real-life. Online interconnectivity is reality now.

It actually goes both ways
