I appreciate that this may seem trivial in /s/censorship, though for what it's worth...

I need to keep them 100% legit.

That's why I've asked this question.

(I am not trying to annoy you, d3rr, but I argue that there was no mod abuse by me and that I was removed/censored for my removal of an old, inactive duplicate. Had another mod done this, they'd still be a mod for /s/politics. I know we don't agree on this, but I think it's an important question for mods in general, esppecially at a "free speech" website where were are so concerned about censorship. It's merely one of my various questions and debates at Saidit, not meant to annoy anyone.)

    Yes - though the stated reason for my removal from 2 subs (from d3rr) was "that chipit post removal".

    I am trying to stay on the POD with this question, which is why I do not wish to mention names. But if you note that I antagonized anyone, we're onto a different topic, wherein I can easily argue that I constantly get angry low-POD responses from users like Chipit, to which I respond - not with oh, Chipit, I love you, you're awesome - but with a counter argument to Chipit's abuse, without abusing Chipit (in all cases I can think of, but perhaps not every case). Mods are also not prohited from arguing, or alternatively, thanking people for their abuses. But this is not what I've asked about in the present post. I was removed as mod from 2 subs because of a duplicate removal. In order to properly debate the censorship of mods who argue with users, I'd have to make another post. But I did not know that that was related to the censorship of my mod activities.

    Regarding apologies - should I apologize for removing a 24-hour exact duplicate (under its duplicate) on the front page of /s/politics? That's related to the OP question.

    Sure, with answers like "Asshole" https://saidit.net/s/NotTheOnion/comments/8dtd/public_servant_aoc_wears_tax_the_rich_dress_to/v3j8?context=3

    And "Bullshit" https://saidit.net/s/NotTheOnion/comments/8dtd/public_servant_aoc_wears_tax_the_rich_dress_to/v3j7?context=3

    And "You have anger issues, Rob?" https://saidit.net/s/politics/comments/8dc9/aoc_by_allowing_any_person_to_financially_destroy/v2i2?context=3

    And many other insults and violations of Saidit TOS.

    Not to mention the hardcore hate of Jimmy Dore specifically, which is what precipitated the mod abuse. "Dore acts like he's concerned about the 'left' while DEFINITELY supporting the extreme right wing, because he's constantly attacking politicians on the left."

    Get that, folks? Attacking a politician from the left means you're a nazi.

    Chipit - you're again conflating points in these arguments. None of this applies to the question. You seem not to know or want to know about any of this. Should I explain? Two of your links are taken out of context from other subs where I am not a mod. One of your links an example where I confront someone about their aggression, as mods can do. It's OK. And then you have factual errors: no there aren't "many other insults and violations". No there is no "hardcore hate of J. Dore" that relaes to anything. My disagreement with Dore or you or anyone else is not "hardcore hate". You apply here constant emotional reactions to what I write, as if you're a victim, whereas I am merely disagreeing. (This too is OK; it's not hate. People can argue.) And your other note here is that I am attacking someone and that I am a "nazi" or whatever. Really, Chipit.

    Two of your links are taken out of context from other subs where I am not a mod.

    They are personal insults and in clear violation of Saidit TOS. This happens often from the socks account. Did one of the other people who posts under this social media influencer account write those?

    So, when people criticize AOC, it's hate. When Jimmy Dore criticizes the left, he's a nazi. But you are capable of disagreement.

    Everyone see why this user has no problem with censorship - as long as he/she/zir is the one doing it?

    No Chipit - none of this is related to the question about duplicate posts or the banning of a mod. It's that simple. Moreover, no one censored you. Removing a duplicate post helps you show more of your other posts on the /s/politics front page.

    You abused your moderator powers to remove a Jimmy Dore video just hours after stating in public how much you hate Jimmy Dore and that he's basically a nazi.

    No Chipit - for reasons already discussed.
