Can't speak for anyone who might have taken it the wrong way (your upvotes, though who among us hasn't done similar once...?) but I have infinite love and respect for comrades who better themselves, let alone fess up publicly to it which must be a hell of a thing and I don't think anyone was even asking for.

Maybe some might not be cool with it (no one's spoken up as such yet I think?) but as a broader space and community in general I think this is an important and wonderful thing (where it can be afforded- and in the circumstances it certainly could be far, far more than afforded IMO). We all have to start somewhere (as someone who was raised pretty much a chud, who has fucked up really badly before and learnt better, etc etc...).

Big agree.

When something like that comment gets 17 upvotes, some people expect the mods to address it in a bigger way than simple removal.

I think messaging each user would’ve been ideal, but a 24 hour ban is a slap on the wrist and I don’t think anybody holds it against otherwise non-reactionary users.
