I was banned from lemmy.world for “personal attacks” for 3 days because of calling someone a “piece of shit” after they called me a “cunt”. The comment calling me a cunt wasn’t removed and the user hasn’t been punished at all by the lemmy.world admins.

The comments in question:

Lemmy.world modlog:

In the interest of full disclosure, this is my other comment that was removed:

And here’s the comment of that user I was referencing, in the Blahaj modlog after it was removed:

This feels like an overreach, especially when the admin clearly didn’t feel it was important to punish their own user for “personal attacks” in the same thread.

One thing I try to stress a lot is to stop engaging, report, then block the user

It's the best thing to do online for one's mental health

Basically when insults start flying: stop engaging

If someone is engaging in shitty behavior: stop engaging

Don't try to get in the last word, just report then block

This is a great strategy for anywhere online, and something I still struggle with at times. But practice it and it will get easier to pump the breaks
