    Can we stop letting the same 4 people make these posts to just get the dopamine kicks from starting the arguments over all over again?

    It’s pointless grandstanding to get a fight started and that is basically it and it’s the same people every time. People should just be blocking these accounts cause if anyone seems like permanently online trolls or shills it’s these accounts making these exact posts like clockwork every single week.

    It’s lazy and the mods seem to let it happen cause they get a kick from the banning they can dish out.

            It’s within the margins of civility. Barely. Voicing an opinion is 100% encouraged here. Even if it’s unpopular. If the opinion contains direct insults, or is disruptively antagonistic, it violates the rule.

          Yup. I don’t speak for the sound of my lips flapping.

          If it’s not productive I don’t see why this kind of discourse should continue.

            I believe you have arrived at the reasoning for the removals. Slap fighting is prohibited.

              Obviously but it does often to appear to be one sided on who is doing the slapping.
              The fact that it felt like I had to make comment calling out the single sided removal of comments after the other party originated their comment with direct Nazi insults is a stain on being seen above the fights and about being cordial in here.

              Letting these constant posts where they are intended to be antagonistic to a well known section of Lemmy at this point means you are either letting it happen on purpose or essentially have a masochism kick. I understand free speech but the first rule is about civility which these posts are specifically aiming to break. I just don’t understand it.

                If you want to make a meme poking fun of conservatives and democrats, you are welcome to. That is a huge portion of the content in this community.

                As far as the removal of comments- it’s takes time to go over the comment, the accusation, and the decision for removal. There are also other requests in the queue. Had you not notified me that the offending comment wasn’t removed, there’s a good chance I would have gotten to it.

                While not perfect, we do try very hard to remain neutral.

                If you feel the content in this community is biased towards one side- be my guest and create content to balance it.
