then one would expose the injustice of a crooked system, and everyone who isn't immoral supports this, including you.https://twitter.com/propensive/status/1085780516794552321 …

there isn't a friendly place run by crooked orgs just like there aren't friendly people who just bully "that one guy no one likes anyways". you'd be living a lie. making the place attractive to more people just gives the bullies more prey to prowl upon.https://twitter.com/propensive/status/1085780937105846273 …

Yes, but I think the more you talk about this, the more "moderators" shift towards "bullies" in a "crooked organisation" and the language is fooling you into thinking they're something they're not: I really don't believe there's evil intent. They're doing their jobs; maybe badly.

right now I'm arguing against your imo outrageous suggestions rather than any specific situation or a specific group of people on reddit

I'm not sure why they seem outrageous. None of my suggestions are extreme in any way (it's somewhat against my nature). I've just shared ideas which I think should make the community more enjoyable for the majority of people (and defended them).

And I've gone further by suggesting to @fpmortals how he could enjoy his time there better. I don't think the suggestions are controversial. If they seem outrageous, I think you're seeing something I'm not.

And this is perhaps you make this suggestion, because you don't see this something. Say to someone who is victim of abuse of power for his words to stop to say what he say can be seem as outrageous.

Essentially what I said was, "the way you are saying things, people are misinterpreting you, and you could say these things differently so that they are less likely to." That's a bit more nuanced than the way it's paraphrased in your tweet, though.
