Which rule is "vibe" again? Thanks for looking into my Reddit post creep, I feel totally weird about you now.

>Which rule is "vibe" again? The one where they said "Don't do this. It doesn't fit here" and you said "I'm going to do it anyways!" It's very clear why they didn't want you to participate in their community now. You're aggressive, stand offish, and resort to name calling. I wouldn't want you around either. Go to therapy. It will help.

"It doesn't fit here" and "vibe" are in your head, none of that was ever discussed. The mod said "it doesn't belong here because it's not related to Portland" which is objectively false. As in, factually wrong. And I never said I would "do it anyway", I was trying to find a title that satisfied the mod.

I'm tired of this conversation anyway, just another corrupt person in power bending rules for their own favor, covering up injustice, lying to affirm their position, and creeping on people cross-social media. I would even bet you and your mod pals have put me on some kind of watch list. It's disgusting and shameful really, and I'll be calling out moments like this as long as the law lets me.

My post objectively didn't break any rules on /r/portland.

The downvote/upvote count thing should be informative, and the display preferences based on user's choice. I find the HN practice of dimming downvoted comments downright Orwellian.

You can always click on a faded comment's timestamp to go to its page, where the comment should be in a readable font. I'd love to know what Orwell would say about requiring an extra click, but oh well.

> I'd love to know what Orwell would say about requiring an extra click

He would say probably something along these lines: "The chief danger to freedom of thought and speech at this moment is not the direct interference of … any official body. If publishers and editors exert themselves to keep certain topics out of print, it is not because they are frightened of prosecution but because they are frightened of public opinion."

Your "click to read" today is the "buried in page 12 in pt-6 font" of the past. Same train of thought.
