Because you reported all of them at the time of your ban
No. I reported maybe 5 or 6. I posted a few of them in my initial comment in this thread for context. You had made at least double that in terms of total comments. I reported the ones that were obviously breaking the rules, in my view.
if in your opinion, any mod should recuse themselves from arguments
No. You can have arguments. But you should not then take moderation action against the people you are arguing with. You should recuse yourself and allow your co-mods to deal with it. I was a mod of much more active subreddits than any Lemmy community for years before I quit Reddit, and in my opinion it’s a pretty basic rule to follow to ensure you do not get into exactly the situation you now face.
What’s ridiculous is that you baited a user with your incredibly poor behaviour and then banned them for reacting it your bait, and expect people not to call you out for it.
You didn’t bait me. I wasn’t making this about me. But since you apparently are (because how else could this entire comment be interpreted), I’ll reiterate: you abused your mod powers by banning me in retaliation for me using the normal process of reporting rule-breaking content just because you don’t like having it pointed out that you broke your own rules.
The bait was at Nay. Nearly every one of your comments in that thread before I ever got involved was baiting them. From the very first:
No, but It beats communism any day of the week.
I don’t know how that can be seen as anything other than bait, considering the context of the post was criticising the problems with capitalism. It’s whataboutism at its finest. You follow that up with:
And how many years do you personally have living under a different socioeconomic system?
Which, again, is bait. Not only is it not relevant (again, we don’t have to praise everything about communism to point out the ways capitalism is bad), it’s also extremely patronising. By the way, my answer is either 6 or 0, depending on what you count. With that experience, I can tell you that “Actually Existing Socialism”, as the tankies like to call it, fucking sucks. The censorship (not unlike that you yourself seem to be a fan of, through your actions) is extremely stifling, the rampant corruption is much worse than we see in developed western nations
Then, when given an answer, you extremely rudely respond:
Did I ask you?
This is asking someone to be rude to you back. They even tried to play nice in the follow-up, giving you an actual answer to the question. To which you again responded
did I ask you?
And you have the fucking gall to ban them for calling you “sweetie” after that? Oh, wait, no. You pat yourself on the back for just “warning” them over this. The nerve!
You do not get to pretend you had the high ground here. Not in the slightest.
