I get it was against the comm rules, but I was pretty proud of this dunk and am dissappointed it was removed.

    I’m not here to police your language, but I’m honestly curious what, apart from assigning blame to a butthurt moderator or even the person you’ve talked to, what you’ve learned from this interaction. Are there ways we can change our tone and content to both better radicalize and stay well enough out of the aim of trigger happy speech zealots for our message to stay prominent longer and have a greater reach.

      If you’re actually interested in changing minds, do not dunk. Contrary to what the hexbears say, bullying never works and civility is always necessary. Never call your interlocutor a lib. Never put words in their mouths (e.g., the vast majority of Biden supporters do not support genocide, so don’t dismiss someone because they “support genocide”).

      Civility is essential if you’re ever to win people over in the free marketplace of ideas.
