Get over yourself. You came here to start shit. That's harassment by Reddit's standards.

No one mentioned your name. Yet you came here to stalk a user that you didn't like, and tried to start shit in our sub. That is harassment. You are violating Reddit's rules. I don't give a shit that the rules aren't normally applied to you because you speak a corporate-sponsored narrative, and moderate a default sub.

Don't pretend to give 2 and one half shits about 'vulnerable people' when you engage in targeted harassment, and you've abused your glorified hall monitor powers to target people who can't fight back.

Who can't fight back? Isn't that what you're doing right now? "A corporate-sponsored narrative"? Really? What "corporate sponsored narrative"? That masks work? Or this crazy loon idea that governments are going to force people to wear them forever because.... why exactly? It's so pathetically stupid l genuinely don't know what l'm being accused of. Please enlighten me.

It doesn't matter if you think you should "fight back", or if you think I'm "fighting back". I'm the moderator here. You're violating Reddit's sitewide rules. You are engaging in targeted harassment when you stalk users to other subs. Your jurisdiction ends at your sub. Simple as. That is Reddit's sitewide rules. We abide by them. You think don't have to because the rules aren't enforced on default subs. But I have to enforce the rules to a T. That includes enforcing the rules you, even if it's your first time.

As for corporate sponsored narratives... you're part of a default sub: every word out of your mouth is corporately palatable, or it doesn't get tolerated. That's how Reddit has been for quite some time. Again, everywhere else on Reddit, the rules don't apply to you the same way they apply to everyone else. We don't have corporate value the way that default subs do.

This isn't about whatever some user said that you don't like. This about you thinking that being a default janny makes you too important and cool to follow the rules. You are engaging in targeted harassment of users in our sub. You will not be allowed to do that.

If you had a problem with that users, it ended at the boundary of your sub.

But your whingey little friends are allowed to misrepresent the sub I moderate - not a default sub, by the way, and if you're mistaking it for r/coronavirus not once has there been any interference from the Reddit Admins in what is or isn't allowed to be said on that sub. I'm not "stalking" or engaging in "targeted harassment", I'm standing up to someone who came to my sub and engaged in targeted bullying of people who are genuinely scared about COVID19 by pushing literally insane conspiracy garbage and, when I banned them, came to your sub to whine about it. Am I not allowed to give my side of the story? To stand up for myself? Wow, some free speech monitor you are. Classic.

You moderate 10 subs, look for the one that is a default.

In any case, there is always interference from the Reddit Admins in what is or isn't allowed to be said on every sub, including this one. This is why what you did was targeted harassment, we've seen the Admins enforce rules based on behavior like yours. We don't allow any of users to post in any threads they post because one instance of that happening is considered targeted harassment, and can cause an entire sub to be banned without warning as a brigading sub.

Again, by Reddit's rules, you are engaging in harassment, and I have a valid claim that all of your subs that you moderate may be engaging in brigading, and all of them should be removed without a single word of warning.

But again, that won't happen to you. You're a default janny. You're too important to have plebeian rules enforced against you.

Unless I enforce them... which I happen to be obligated to do.

So no, you're not allowed to "defend yourself" from the user's disagreeable opinions. And you're right, that isn't very free speech, but you're not on a free speech platform. You're on a corporate speech platform. The user you didn't like has apparently been permanently banned from the site. You can't have free speech on this site, because you got him removed and now he can't defend himself either.

If you wanted to engage in free speech, you should have asked your masters to put it back into the site.

But if you did that, you'd lose your mind with all the sacrilegious anti-corporate 'misinformation' and dangerous & degenerate assault speech that would hurt 'vulnerable' populations of victims you cultivate for your own sick, twisted, sense of power.

Spare me, wise janny of the patrician subs, from your lecture about the defense of Freedom of Speech in this slave market of a website you defend.
