I was banned from lemmy.world for “personal attacks” for 3 days because of calling someone a “piece of shit” after they called me a “cunt”. The comment calling me a cunt wasn’t removed and the user hasn’t been punished at all by the lemmy.world admins.

The comments in question:

Lemmy.world modlog:

In the interest of full disclosure, this is my other comment that was removed:

And here’s the comment of that user I was referencing, in the Blahaj modlog after it was removed:

This feels like an overreach, especially when the admin clearly didn’t feel it was important to punish their own user for “personal attacks” in the same thread.

I suspect the comment where you were banned was the proverbial "straw that broke the camels back." I took a look at the rest of the thread where there could be the impression of you attacking people. It's not as extreme as the specific comment they chose but it's there. Perhaps the mods banned you for 3 days for a combination of your posts in that thread. That would make sense instead of commenting on each individually (which would be time consuming).

Have you tried to message the mods directly for clarity before posting here?

One thing I try to stress a lot is to stop engaging, report, then block the user

It's the best thing to do online for one's mental health

Basically when insults start flying: stop engaging

If someone is engaging in shitty behavior: stop engaging

Don't try to get in the last word, just report then block

This is a great strategy for anywhere online, and something I still struggle with at times. But practice it and it will get easier to pump the breaks
