i am curious as to your experience.

not too long ago i am having exchanges with people who wouldn't hesitate to use derogatory term to label me because i held a differing view on certain issues.

i thought it was reminiscent of earlier reddit days where overly woke individuals would abuse you on reddit and then abuse the report system to perma ban your account.

don't get me started on the mods who were power tripping and dishing out bans because they got offended over simple facts.

Ah yes the classic online insult to someone who has a slight difference of opinion from you.

A hefty amount of people don't understand that it's ok to not all agree, unfortunately those people are also mods.

Man that is quite the series of dog whistles/red flags.

Edit: scanned your comments. Yikes. A lot of things make sense now.
