Lady looks like she just blew in on the west wind with her flying monkeys in tow, and she's claiming the left are the ones trying to destroy civil order.

Did this all last term to no consequences

Put out racist/inflammatory/severe mental error/obvious lie comments, then his team would go into damage control and claim it was a technical error / intern / junior staff, then someone would ask him about the mistake/lie and and his ego would cause him to pipe up that he did it on purpose and it was a good statement, throwing his own team under the bus as liars again, and again.

His cult member voters don't care, its the post-truth era.

This would be absolutely cringe if a high school kid was doing it as a petty insult to their rivals... But it's the president of the USA.

I know its a melting pot of factors that has caused it, but it still blows my mind that "normal" for the USA has fallen so fucking far, so fast since Trump came on the scene. 10 years ago a fucking tan suit was 'weird' for a president..

I was like, "that's crazy, like what would that logo even look like, a Mountie? A woodsman in flannel?" - because there's no image on the wiki article.

Then I found this old article which contains the funny backstory, and explains its definitely a woodsman, and used to be a pine tree..

“Look, I was always embarrassed by our symbol,” says assistant principal Ralph Sorrentino, a North Plainfield football player in the ’50s. “We had a mascot dressed as a tree. South Plainfield had a tiger.” It was a particular problem when they played the Metuchen Bulldogs. “You know what dogs do to trees,” he says.

So in the early 1970s North Plainfield’s teams became the Canucks—woodsmen who cut down trees.

Don't do it, Canada.

You'd suddenly be expanding your population 8-9x over (even factoring a war in), and at least 40% of the newly minted Canadians would 'think' and vote like Albertan roughnecks.

Hmmm.. motives unclear. Could be either to give you more luscious, full lips, soothe your arthritic knees, or accellerate the growth of a malignant tumor.

(Edit) Wait, are you by chance a professional long distance ski jumper?

No, it's implying a migration of phone technology. First it was all in one large handset, now it's mostly stored in the butt.

Hi all.

First, thanks for reading. I'm not exactly sure if this is the correct location to raise a concern about a ban/deletion, but I guess it's as good as any.

So:

  1. I dont know which mod it was. Log is redacted?
  2. post deleted & banned from the News@Lemmy.world community
  3. screenshot of modlog attached
  4. screenshot of comment attached.
  5. It was an appreciated post with 106 upvotes 26 downvotes at deletion and several positive responses yesterday. When I came back today (I'm in Australia so timezones..) the comment was deleted and I was banned - and several negative comments have appeared which I would have liked to respond to.

Original post: a news article about Proton Mail.

My post: Essentially I took the time to read the article and included the quotes of what was written by the CEO that was being discussed in the article - as many in the comments had surprised me by jumping straight to him being a literal Nazi. As not a single other commenter had included the quotes to discuss the source, I thought that would be a valuable contribution. I also gave my opinions which you can see in the comment on the modlog, the formatting is messed up so I included a screenshot of the (recreated) comment. https://lemmy.world/modlog/1347

What I didn't notice was that the article writer had omitted the first part of the Twitter post from the CEO in her quotation of him - so I quoted her, and in doing so missed the context that the CEO had actually started "Great pick by @realDonaldTrump" at the start - which does of course change the context of his Twitter post to praise. This was clarified for me in the angry responses. I would have edited my comment and owned my mistake, however stood by the rest of the comment regarding Proton's official follow-up.

So, is that deletion and ban fair?

Update 10 hours later: contacted a mod directly to see if i can find out more about the ban or perhaps get it remedied.

Update 48 hours later: contacted the entire mod team, and got back feedback from several of them - all helpful. My post has now been undeleted, and my account unbanned from the News community 👍
