Do we value this comment, and their selective enforcement of what gets removed by a moderator?

I saw your post, and that comment. While I don't agree with your opinion, I do understand where you're coming from.

I legitimately laughed at their comment. So off the wall to say you're at least as bad as (if not worse than) actual religious fascists, and people who tell gay people that they're going to hell.

Calling what you said abhorrent and pathetic is a huge overreaction. There are a few users on Lemmy that either genuinely flip out at the smallest provocation or have no nuance to the way they communicate, and it makes me laugh every time.

I don't think your post should have been removed. I don't think their comment should be removed either. Your post was innocuous, a little bit hyperbolic, and at least offered the opportunity for people to reflect on themselves and their convictions. Their comment was mental, but very funny.
