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.
Personally, I’m a fan of its paranormal nature:
Anyways, aside from virtually pantsing that absolute loser for shitting up a thread on our instance,
I like this instance the most because it’s nice meeting new people on here and seeing how nice well mannered free expression takes place here without the typical unwarranted namecalling you’d expect from the likes of 4chan, Kiwifarms, Gab, etc. As well as the lack of poison that is the neverending culture war that gets peddled on the typical alt-tech platform.
Sorry that someone crashed your thread.
Burggit is the only instance that I have a feeling that I’m not swapping the repressive admin set from reddit for another repressive set from lemmy. I think the people of reddit are too used to being repressed. Being told what they can and can’t post. Your title needs to look like this, you need to have these tags in your post, you most post every source in an image. No photoshop. No AI. There’s certain body types you cannot post as determined by anyone who wants to use the report button. I see it on every instance where they preportally make a “safe space” by censoring and restricting the ever loving shit out of their community.
Every other instance I’ve seen has started where reddit left off: repressed enough to be advertisement friendly. I feel they do this because it’s all they’ve known recently.
In this instance, I see the seed of it not trying to be a no holds barreled 4chan knockoff like some instance are, but a site trying to be what reddit was - separate groups coming together to make a small community. Rules in place to carefully guide it from being taken down or becoming shit. Rules about behavior rather than content.
Thank you very much for those kind words. This made my night despite previously feeling admittedly defeated after getting defederated from yet another big community.
Which said big community was threatened with a defederation from other big instances if they don’t get rid of their r/the_donald knockoff sub that has only one person making milquetoast newsy posts.
I only found out because I wanted to chime in to defend them from the Reddit hivemind that was being completely unreasonable towards the instance operator. I wish them lots of luck and good will since they want to maintain their tolerant stance towards communities they disagree with, what with the said reddit janny hivemind taking hold across this part of the hilariously fractured fediverse.
Anyways, again, thank you. I needed this.
I like the maturity and levelheadedness here.
I’ve never seen such consistent respect during disagreements before. Sure one or two occasional ones on reddit, or maybe even discord groups. But here it seems commonplace.
It could be that we’re still small, but I hope the culture continues to be good.
