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.

They’re basically telling you to be kinder in how you make your points, while engaging with your argument in good faith.

What’s the problem?

They did ask me to remove my source link though.

I would not have complied with that. Or maybe I’d have edited in a quote to replace the link as malicious compliance.

But theyre also not trying to deny the presence of the “social score” you’re criticizing. They’re actually engaging with you, so until they fly off the handle in response to you reacting reasonably, react reasonably.

Yea, I’m not editing my original comment. The last thing I did was just address that I linked the comment, not the meme, which someone here pointed out.

OK, don’t edit your comment.

They asked, without demanding. And while you could take their mention of removal as a threat, I take it as a dare to be reasonable, since they are pointing out that you might be aiming to push their buttons more than make a point for others to see.

“You’d be better off on reddit” is what probably set them off here, and I don’t see why’d you stand by that. Piefed isn’t worse than reddit, claiming it is doesn’t make any kind of logical argument, it just illustrates that you’re either on the trolly or unhinged side of the subject.

Regardless of which it is, they’re literally inviting you to make your case, as long as you tone down the stuff that’s more likely anger than convince.
