Lemmy itself has been turning into a faucet of Reddit, they either don't know that yet or they refuse to acknowledge it. Whichever.

I'm not your bro, buddy.
I'm not your buddy, compadré

How is "bro" toxic...? I can see how someone who isn't a dude objecting to being called one, but that's not an issue with the word itself
I think maybe assuming gender? But it's such a stretch that you should probably get a tube of bendgay to put on it.

You're lucky
I got banned with no warning or even indication what post was offensive (I was not being anything-phobic or inciting violence)
But that was lemmy.ml so I should have known
Did you say NATO is a defence alliance?

Double whammy. First, calling people out for such a small thing, if it even arguably is a thing, is purely performative. Calling them out for this only alienates them from the cause and makes this person feel smug. In the grand scheme I'd argue it hurts the cause more because you just pissed off a bunch of people by doing it.
Second, as an admin I can see voted, but I would never be so petty to use it like this. I do aggregations to see who routinely downvoted my posts or communities to prevent trolling, but I have a very forgiving ratio. (Like if you downvote more than X ratio more than you upvote, then why are you even in my community if you hate it so much). Anything this small is just petty.

I think it has been reddit since the influx of users started coming from reddit. reddit mods migrated here and immediately started acting the way they act on reddit. the way they behaved on reddit was never their issue with reddit.

Bro, I can't believe someone could be that offended over the word bro. Like, really bro?

I mean, i guess anyone has the right to consider anything offensive, but surely there's much worse out there than 'bro'?
I consider it annoying, but imo it's not even gender-specific anymore in its usage.

Funny thing is, I wasn’t the one that called them a bro. I just downvoted the mods reply. Nothing more. They already banned me from their comm for this post.

Apparently they’re on the spectrum and they have A LOT of downvotes on almost every post and comment. Not sure if that’s because of this post or just cuz.

Taking action against someone or even just DMing them because of downvotes is some weak shit.

Even 'dude' is shifting towards gender neutral.
As with all of these kinds of discussions, context is key. Getting offended at the mere sight of the word 'bro'? Go suck a dick. Using 'bro' spitefully to misgender someone? Also go suck a dick.
