Time has not concept on the internet
If I were to take this admission wholesale, I'd be in a position to have to also accept the fact that the respective timestamps of two different uploads by two different users of the exact same bit of media (image, video, audio clip...) are useless in helping to determine who's the original uploader of said media. Which, considering that upload time is a crucial (although not necessarily conclusive) bit of evidence in copyright infringement arbitration over the Interpipes, would be a rather bizarre thought to entertain.
I get what you mean I'm just curious as to why you care?
Ask yourself this instead:
Why did I care at the time?
See, 2017 me was quite the hot-headed type, feeling the need to call out everyone's bullshit however little it involved my person.
Fast-forward to...now? I long since decided that Internet slap fights aren't exactly a productive use of one's time. In fact, I forgot about that comment on this particular profile, that is until a nice little reply landed in my inbox 3 years later for some reason, so now I am here breaking down my thoughts on something I hoped I'd move on from never to look back again.
I'm not sure why you're assuming that they've decided this to be a "Miscarriage of justice." It looks like they've just gotten fed up with it and decided it's not worth the effort
It's one thing to decide that a platform is not worth the trouble anymore and move on to other platforms. It's another to lose one's shit about mature tag inquiries of all things. (yes, I do mean it when I claim that he lost his shit since his parting message is conceptually just "boo-hoo staff decided to put my stuff under Mature Content so I'm moving to Blogspot". Trust me, it's not a good look, not on the Internet, and you'd do well to believe it's never a good look in real life.)
I mean...it's the internet, ya know
And how is that a reflection on anything? At the end of the day, humans are still involved in the grand scheme of things, albeit with the caveat of exacerbating both the best and worst of human nature.
Taking the cowards way out doesn't really matter here does it? Hell, it barely matters in real life.
However much I want to think you're right on this one, I just can't and therefore won't.
Whether we like it or not, people are always judged to some degree by their ability to face opposition in a rational, carefully thought-out way.
Consider the following scenario: You walk by a small convenience store where the cashier minds his own business when some soccer mom (neither of whom you have previously met, and you have never stepped foot in that store) barges in and goes on to mouth the guy off over an allegedly defective product. The cashier takes full responsibility, tries to explain calmly what went wrong and even offers to refund out of his own pocket. All the while said soccer mom is having none of it, loudly and repeatedly demands to have a talk with his manager in an obvious attempt to have the poor bastard sacked.
Based strictly on these events, whom of the two parties you'd be more likely to sympathize with?
