Now it's much better, Lemmy is mentioned every other day

And ironically enough their Stalin memes were complete shit

I think the assertion was that I was following around particular users and posting hostile comments... which, I was doing the second thing, not the first. Here's a relevant exchange that deals with the removal more directly (from this thread during the same unit of moderation action):

Wind dat same shit I always post in these threads back selecta!

If you’re reading this and you don’t want to vote for biden or trump, consider party for socialism and liberation. They’re running Claudia de la Cruz for president this year on a platform of Palestinian statehood and ending arms shipments to Israel.

It’s okay to not want to vote for Biden or trump.

~~Hey let’s talk about how Biden shut down Trump’s insulin price cap~~

~~You already explained to me how that happened, I know, but explain it again for the rest of the class~~

How come you stopped replying to me in the thread where we were talking about that?

Why are you dragging that into this thread? Why did you drag it into that thread (I’m pretty sure it was off topic drama there too)?

~~Because you were talking nonsense… I’m not obligated to keep talking to you indefinitely about why water is wet and world is round~~

~~Go on, tell ‘em what you told me. I’ll let you figure out why it might be relevant to this conversation. Oh also how Trump’s a formidable stage presence and Biden should be worried about having to go head to head with him in a debate. But let’s start with Biden shutting down the insulin price cap. The people need to know! If they are thinking of voting Biden when he wants their insulin prices un-capped.~~

Please stop stalking me. Thanks.

~~Stop stalking political threads and posting propaganda. I’m not going out of my way to find you, but since I saw a post of yours, I thought it was relevant to throw it in there that you have in the past posted explicit propaganda of a type so dishonest that anyone here will be able to see through it. Why would that not be relevant to what you’re saying now?~~

~~If you mean me tagging you when I used you as an example of a person posting propaganda, I can stay away from that in the future if you want. I was meaning to do it so you could defend yourself if you wanted to try, but I’m fine with not doing that if you prefer. If you’re just ordering me not to point out your propaganda when I happen to see it, then no, I think I will continue.~~

Removed ("stalking") and permaban. I reached out to the mod and said hey I can see I was being a dick (it happens sometimes), but I wasn't stalking and what's up with this permaban. No response.

Just as a random additional data point, here's a post of mine that was also removed from the same threads:

~~Let's say this:~~

~~I have no idea if you are a shill or a genuine person. But, there are some behaviors that are bad things to do regardless of which you are:~~

1. ~~Recasting your opponents' views as other ones that make less sense and are easier to argue against, consistently, as a way of muddling the discourse, instead of being honest about what you're saying and what you are disagreeing with and why, and just letting your point of view speak for itself whether or not I personally would agree with it~~
2. ~~Consistently posting a drumbeat of memes in support of your viewpoint (within that same dishonest framing)~~

~~I mean, you can do what you want to do. I'm not gonna try to tell you you are or aren't allowed to say whatever suits you. But to me, saying "fuck the whole US politics join my coalition for positive change we need a level of change that the current system will not allow" would make sense. Sounds great. I actually would be right there in that coalition. Anything from Bernie Sanders to Ralph Nader to someone further out-there who is working for something to produce actual change in some other way.~~

~~But if instead of that, you misrepresent the "other side"'s viewpoint "fascism is so bad that we need to resist it even if the alternative involves continuing the US's longstanding policy of allowing some war crimes," as if it was "I <3 war crimes and genocide", and post a drumbeat of attack against specifically the least war-crime-friendly big contingent in US politics, I think people will wind up accusing you of bad faith. They've got a right to say that too.~~

~~I mean, does that seem fair? If you were posting a big stream of memes about how to put pressure on Biden to do more (like, a fuck of a lot more) to stop the crimes, or in favor of some faction that was plausibly able to produce a better outcome, I don't think you would be getting near this level of derisive responses. But the message you're sending doesn't match the outcome you say you want. I think that's why you are getting these maybe unfair accusations.~~

Removed, civility
