I’m not really familiar with the difference between rss.ponder.cat and ponder.cat. I was not even aware that they were different communities. I’m not a developer for this.

I’m not disputing that it looks like it could be retaliation, like someone with access just making the change because you were annoying, but I still don’t understand why they wouldn’t just ban your account like everyone else.

edit:

I also notice that you’re extremely eager to assume bad faith from lemmy.world.

I’ll routinely run into misogynist and ablest insults whenever I voice my opinion in those spaces. The egregious stuff gets cleaned up, but it is still there. I have run into some perfectly nice people who happen to post there, but if you’re someone who doesn’t 100% tow the line it’s fair game for shitty behavior. It’s ironic because that’s what you’ve been pointing out as the issue with my/our behavior, but you’re not willing to see it the other direction. I’m replying to a local on this very thread whose position is apparently that all who ‘support authoritarianism’ are roaches, which he goes on to identify as ethnic russians and ‘tankies’. I’m an anarchist, I organize with anarchists, but apparently holding wrongthink is enough to be a roach

This kind of behavior lying just below the surface tends to have me put my guard up when I’m in a space.
