MODERATORS
I saw your post, and that comment. While I don't agree with your opinion, I do understand where you're coming from.
I legitimately laughed at their comment. So off the wall to say you're at least as bad as (if not worse than) actual religious fascists, and people who tell gay people that they're going to hell.
Calling what you said abhorrent and pathetic is a huge overreaction. There are a few users on Lemmy that either genuinely flip out at the smallest provocation or have no nuance to the way they communicate, and it makes me laugh every time.
I don't think your post should have been removed. I don't think their comment should be removed either. Your post was innocuous, a little bit hyperbolic, and at least offered the opportunity for people to reflect on themselves and their convictions. Their comment was mental, but very funny.
My point is, why was my shit removed, but that wasn't? There's clearly a selective bias on the part of the human moderator who made that decision.
Sure I get it but this is quite petty. I see in another thread you've called this discrimination which now makes me realise we all should take a little break and go for a walk outside.
Here's a good visual of the discrimination
If you're gonna pretend to be the victim here, at least show people what you said.

I'm exposing the inconsistency of the shit moderation.
Lmao, the pic of what you actually said is hilarious. You earned your ban by being a dick, not by having an unpopular opinion. As a fellow dick, I'm giving you an unvarnished opinion.
Unpopular opinions good! Vitriol with no substance bad!
How would you, my fellow dick, respond to someone telling you "Get your head out of your asshole"? Smile and say okay? 😂
I would have gone way harder on very specific ad hominems based on my perception of the other person. Maybe "enjoy that PB&J your mom made you"
No what about "I'm enjoying the PB&J your mom made for you while fucking her"
Lmao, too hard!
Yeah it’s weird how hard they went, especially given the community they were on
