I was in an incident, which I explained elsewhere, that led to people complaining about me in YTPB and by extension in Ask Lemmy. Then, when sharing my perspective, I was asked by those to whom I shared it to share it in YPTB only for those in charge there to give what amounts to a signal of not caring about said perspective, just the one that is there. So I’m going to share it here instead.
As someone who knows Person F personally, but won’t mention their name here for privacy’s sake, their problem wasn’t so much that their comment was removed (for understanding’s sake, as you said, which is understandable), but that they were removed from the community entirely, even though it was only three days. Can you justify that, when there was no crime committed and Person F only happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?
There is no option, as it stands, to remove people from only part of a community, unless I misunderstand you.
Considering the whole context, where two other people were removed for reasons, the alternative would have been to just ban those two people and risk receiving complaints on their behalf about the fact the response wasn’t evenly distributed (It was the temporary ban of Person F I was referring to when I said I did it “for understanding’s sake”, referring to the fact I made it only three days which have ended a day ago, not the removal of the comment).
Person F, although it’s not inaccurate to say they may have spoken in the wrong place at the wrong time, hence the fact it was as temporary as it was, still said something that, given the serious matter and its different steps, could not be ignored.
