Obviously a fake rule, since I don’t see any risk of the person I was replying to being banned.
Like most online discussion spaces these days, the “moderation” isn’t spam filtering, it’s censorship by bullies who conveniently pretend they’re only censoring bullies.

If you believe they violated Beehaw’s rules, report them.
If you want to be in a space without moderation, then Beehaw isn’t for you. Moderation isn’t only spam filtering. If you believe that’s what moderation should be, that’s okay. But that isn’t what it is here or in almost any space.

I’m not going to report them, I’m just trying not to let them bait me into getting myself banned.
The problem is if I did give them the reply they deserved, I might be banned when I’m the one treating them fairly, and I doubt they’d face a longer ban for baiting me or anything.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, me trying to get them banned doesn’t help with the fact that online spaces form bullying cults that ban victims
