Got a 7 day ban on !memes@lemmy.ml after responding to this very abusive commenter with this image:
I reported their abusive comments somewhat expecting to get banned as well. It came as a shock to me when i saw my ban but this commenter got off scot-free. They didn’t even so much as get a single abusive comment removed.
This is the most blatant instance of a double standard I’ve encountered on that instance.

Why did you want to find common ground? What’s the goal here?
Idk. I wanted to retain some faith in humanity; especially considering the point we were arguing on was pretty benign, so we could’ve easily reached an agreement on something.
It gives me a feeling of nihilism whenever some people are so adamant in their beliefs to not even entertain opposing views. It makes it seem all pointless.
