Much appreciated. The mods here at !news prefer civil discourse. If we see someone not displaying civility (attacking the person, not the argument), trolling, being racist, sexist, or being a bigot, we will remove a comment.
We try not to let our views skew our moderation, and will reverse removals if we feel we or other mods were acting heavy-handed.
With that said, we appreciate admins of other members of the Lemmy federation stepping in to police users of their instance.
With that said, yes, we have received other complaints about this user, but did not find all the complaints warranted. Some were, and we handled those comments as they were brought to our attention.
We may not agree with all the comments here, but if they follow our rules, they stay.
