The way Lemmy mods hand out bans, not for fucking long.

People wag a finger at me for vulgarity and bluntness. But I've found zero safety in being polite, casual, and relaxed. Most recently, one joke about The Bee Movie in a silly playlist screenshot community ended two bewildered interactions later, with the mod instructing me to "die mad." To anyone innocent enough to insist this sort of thing can only happen if I'm underplaying some intolerable behavior on my part - I have abundant receipts. This has been a problem long enough (on the other site) that smoke without fire deserved documentation.

And the absolute worst spaces on modern social media are ones demanding "be nice" while doing nothing when some asshole spits the worst thing they can think of over nothing. I'm not about to be deeply offended by some childmove like opining about my family because I didn't find an argument compelling. But I cannot fucking stand being held from so much as literally replying "yo mama," for fear of punishment from some I-don't-care-who-started-it troll-enabling goody-two-shoes, only to find out reports went fucking nowhere.

Mods! If I'm not allowed to call someone a bastard - YOU had goddamn well better get rid of those bastards. Enforce the rule or throw it out!
