I like the focus on free expression and the loli/shota/cub policy! The admins seem pretty chill too!
At no point have we ever promoted pedophilia. I have stated that not all pedophiles are automatically child abusers/rapists. In this case, I am using the term pedophile to mean someone with an attraction to children. Just being attracted to something does not automatically make you abusive. The same as how simply being attracted to men does not make you someone who rapes men.
If you’re referring to the type of artwork we host here (which is entirely legal in the jurisdiction we host in.) These are entirely fictional depictions, and any reasonable person could be shown these images and realize they do not feature any actual person. Just like how someone does not automatically become a murderer for killing someone in a video game, someone does not become a pedophile or child molester for looking at lines on paper.

You very clearly are the definition of an average Redditor. When someone politely responds to you, you go to your instance the millisecond he replies and demand we be blocked off because you have the seemingly innate inability to use the tools to block us from showing up for your user.
How about you go complain about the tankies some more while refusing to look in the mirror.
Coward deleted his comment. Went digging through the DB to find it. Again, nice try, Redditor.
Edit: Do note that the string of text to the far left is his comment ID and notice that it matches up with this: https://burggit.moe/comment/54385
It might not be wise to dig up deleted comments. It’s no spez editing comments, but it does seem wrong in a way.
Tbf everything on the internet is saved somewhere. But people will feel less comfortable talking about what they honestly think if they think their wishes to be forgotten aren’t being respected by the mods themselves.
With federated services there’s really no such thing as a true “delete” since any instance can decide on their end to not respect deletes. If there’s not one out there already, there will be, I’m sure of it. It’s a very common practice on other federated services like Mastodon/Pleroma/Akkoma (some instances just do not respect deletes). Also, the rampant amount of fedi post scrapers make truly deleting a post virtually impossible. Because of this, it’s recommended that you be extra cautious about what you post to the fediverse, since any instance can decide to, well, not accept delete requests.
Not that digging through the database for their comment actually did much, since as is shown by another reply on this thread, someone had already screenshotted the original reply before deletion.
However, I understand your concern, and we will avoid this practice in the future.
