See, Lemmy is a relatively small platform. There are pretty few active users here. Moderators should occasionally bend the rules if people are having fun and post or comment is in good faith. We shouldn’t moderate like robots; if I wanted that, I’d use Reddit or another meta platform. If we start banning every user and blocking each other, this place will become quiet and lonely. We should act like a community, not a big shitty corpo social media platform.

I made this post after some incidents like @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world banning @tal@lemmy.today on !outofcontextcomics@lemmy.world for posting intentionally funny comics. I know I know rule say comic should be unintentionally funny. Also, Ban of @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz on !touhou@lemmy.world by @vbb@lemmy.world for posting a NSFW (Not really) post without NSFW tag unintentionally.

Also, my comment on news of archive.org getting hacked and DDOS. (I said “People who are doing this fucking die”) on !technology@lemmy.world. I know, my comment is not in good faith but I have no sympathy for people who want to destroy information and knowledge.
