The “Readers added context” feature is the only good thing about Twitter.

Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

It is a serious question, if it's bad that Twitter does it, is it also bad that lemmy work this way?
If you have a double standard and want to ban people that point it out, go ahead. Consistency is important.
I can see why you are upset Twitter is removing blocks, because censoring people that point out your own hypocrisy is how you deal with problems.
Once again, I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about now. I explained in another thread why I personally think lemmy/Reddit is different from other social media, but we’re not talking about that now, I’m talking to you as a moderator for breaking the rules in your replies to someone else. That’s why I distinguished these comments as “from the moderator”.
I’m not upset with Twitter, I don’t use it to tweet myself. I’m not being a hypocrite and I’m not banning anyone because they disagree with me. I’m banning you because you’ve broken the rules repeatedly, and continue to do so after I gave you three warnings. Your behaviour is not appropriate or welcome in this community.
