Comment on It really is just reddit <3

Yeah, I checked the modlogs, and it was exactly the mod I thought it was. There are two mods on News and Political Memes that don’t like criticism of Democrats. Someone picked a fight with me on Political Memes, calling me a, “fucking moron,” and telling me I didn’t understand something. I showed him polling that disproved him, and he tried to prove that the Pew Research Center didn’t know how to conduct a survey. We were rude back and forth to each other for a while, but the kid who instigated the fight caught a 1 day ban for, “rudeness,” while I got a perma-ban for, “trolling.” They even left up separate comments on the same thread where told another user they were, “too stupid,” and to, “shut the fuck up.” It’s best to just block the communities they mod.

For the record, it’s a disgrace that they pulled that one comment for, “misinformation.” The only thing I would dispute is the claim that, “Biden [sold] more protected land than any other president,” and, “[approved] more drilling for fraking than any other.” Oil production did boom under him, and he expanded drilling on federal lands after promising not to, but I think the rate of sale and approval was about the same a Trump. Either way, that’s not misinformation, it’s just nuance.
