Am I a sockpuppet? Do my parents know this?? WHY DID THEY NEVER TELL ME?!
JF, nobody accused you of sockpuppetry. Meatpuppetry maybe, but the only sockpuppet I can see is Thelemmybud.
He ain’t even done yet.
Good, it seems he’s done much more for that community than Beaver, her alts, and you (assuming you’re not also an alt) have done for it. Generally making toxic and antagonistic memes all day and attacking the instance moderation are not healthy and productive things for a community. It also doesn’t help the movement at all, and actually can end up hurting it.
Banning people for downvoting posts seems like an overstep of position
Seems like beaver went crazy and jerkface did too. I dont know about you.
Banning people for downvoting posts is the most sensitive thing I’ve actually seen on the internet first hand.
And yet they probably still think people dislike them just because they’re vegan 🤷♂️
I’m sure you are aware that brigading has been a problem in The Motherland since the very beginning. Now that we have the tools to detect and address such behaviour, are you prepared to say you are categorically against using that information to inform moderation decisions?
Downvoting a post ain’t brigading 😂
Is there not an option in Lemmy to make a community private, or exclude it from /all?
That sounds like what you need if you can’t handle general users disagreeing with you.
That conveniently ignores what the actual issue was, since if Beaver had replied to the request to discuss those actions with the other mods we wouldn’t be having this discussion. Not consulting with other mods before making COMMUNITY decisions was, to my mind, the main reason for being demoded.
