Mod of a piefed instance asks me to edit my comment to "create a proper space for discussion" - sh.itjust.works

I didn’t even know the link was from .ml. I haven’t blocked the instance completely, just some communities.

I don’t have time to deal with drama on the fediverse

X doubt

Also getting asked to do something is really not included in my definition of powertripping. BPR

Asked to edit an opinionated comment or have my post removed? Kinda weird imo.

I give everyone two replies and then block if I feel any negative emotion afterwards so I don’t get sucked in. I’m not trying to start anything. I just want people to be aware.

Really don't see the bait in what OP posted.

Powertripping is a mod abusing their position and power.

Sure usually they just remove posts or ban people, but using their position and the implied threat of removal to pressure someone into weakening their argument (by removing sources) or removing personal opinions the mod doesn't like (which aren't toxic in any way, we're not talking bigotry here) definitely still is powertripping.
