Anyone else tired of seeing the above line in EVERY SINGLE thread?

I have had comments removed multiple times and was even BANNED once for “dogpiling” simply for mentioning this behavior and how unpopular it was , never once even linked to the profile. When I was banned I simply asked for an explanation as to how what I posted constituted dog piling and I never got a response. I received snarky deflections instead of an explanation every time I comment was removed.

I think that it’s one rogue mod who is doing this, as an every case I was banned/comment removed at least 24 to 48 hours after the fact. moderation on the sub is generally good, it feels like this is the work of one bad actor not something organized or planned.

This is absolutely embarrassing behavior for someone who is supposed to represent our community especially since we are a people who are disproportionally affected by bullies and idiots in power abusing their responsibilities and shirking any duty towards accountability.

In the past few weeks, in addition to this users’s comments, I’ll also see just about as frequently people talking about this user and lambasting their approach. They are not wanted here , not because of their autistic traits, but because of their refusal to engage in any sort of productive conversation. Copy pasting the same shit we’ve read 1 billion times ad nauseum that never changes no matter what the context is not helpful to anyone. What he does is indistinguishable from an actual bot and I can’t remember the last time I saw a comment of his with positive karma.

If this post is removed or I am banned without at least some cursory explanation, I’m going to start posting the same thing in every thread and let’s see how long the mods let that happen.

What if everyone was like this person, and we all had our pet little phrases that we pasted in every thread?

What if we made this mod actually stand by their decision and see how antisocial and harmful to the social contract it is if we let everyone behave this childishly?

What other options do we have if this mod is literally using fascist tactics to silence people who are expressing a very popular opinion, accusing us of things that are wildly inaccurate, and refusing to even put up even a cursory explanation to their actions?

I’m getting tired of seeing the same users shoehorn the same exact comment, word for word, into almost every thread.

Everyone who’s spent a little time here should know what I’m talking about- there is one poster who asks “Do the people you’re interacting with know you’re disabled?” in almost every thread, and another who posts tedious diatribes about “large scale psy ops to make autism sexy”.

The second is merely annoying but the first should be bannable, I think. It rarely turns into anything remotely resembling a worthwhile conversation and is almost always heavily downvoted. Shouldn’t we all be sick of meaningless boilerplate advice thrown at us by people who don’t care enough to listen and understand?
