Is fediverse turning into reddit?
-
Totally agree.
That's just like lookng for reasons to get angry.
For some people, finding reasons to be angry is a way of life.

You can escape the software architecture. You can't escape the people.
People like this existed before reddit, back then you just say fuck that guy and go to a different forum.

rest assured your sacrifice has improved the blocklist of everyone here, bro
Casually using the b-word is wild

This insanely nonsensical behavior is prevalent in tons of communities, and it should be shunned and avoided. These moderators are not worth a fraction of your time.
Yeah. The big advantage of the fediverse is that "if you don't like it, leave" is practical advise instead of a way for the powerful to shut down arguments.

Unpopular opinion: y'all call everything you don't like "reddit" (while the average Lemmy user is a lot of what people who don't use either dislike about reddit)
Turns out this opinion is hardly unpopular.
-
He is right, though. He politely asked you to avoid some language at his channel. Why would you downvote that comment?
Downvotes for disagreements were part of the downfall of reddit.
People choosing what a downvote is for are killing social media
-

Let's be clear - the mod asked that OP not downvote the mods comment asking another commenter to avoid using the word bro. OP never said bro.
Confrontationally DMing someone for a downvote is wild.
Exactly... And then banned them for something they did on a different community. It's crazy to have such little power and still abuse it.
-
yup my bad. also found this tho...
what a fucking shitshow of a community.
It's mildly condescending in the context but like it's well within the bounds of being civil.

I really don't think that a weird DM from 1 person in 1 comm on piefed counts as "The fediverse."
I mean, don't we still have The Fediverse Chick? What ever happened with that? She totally undoes, like, 7 weird DMs like this.
We had a community for the fediverse chick on our home instance. That went pretty bad, pretty fast. People there tried to find out who she is and where the spam is coming from. They ended up receiving disturbing gore in their DMs..
-
Prying into who has downvoted you is just not a healthy habit to get into. If you run your own instance, it's important to just never use that ability.
IMO, this is the kind of DM that is best ignored. I think most of us don't want these communities to work like that; don't give it any oxygen.
Unfortunately this one is hard to ignore, it's the sole mod of a large com.

Someone should make a brochure what their mods consider offensive.
Otherwise bans like this just happen when someone has a bad day.

Moderator elections!

Moderator elections!
Elections are so hard, nobody gets them implemented right

No joke, Periodic changing of mods might be a better long term strategy. Or like you said a small election from time to time.

But it was a friendly warning.

Welp the community is dead. Wow that didn't last long.
I'm kinda sad it was all on piefed.social.
I mostly feel sad for power users like @[email protected] who did quite a bit of the posting over there.
Created [email protected] so that we have a place that insnt blocked to talk about new stuff in the fediverse. -

Nothing can replace somethingawful tho, or gaiaonline or gamefaqs

Right, my mistake.
OP is also free to downvote however he pleases.
I just wanted OP to know that the way of his voting created 'Reddit'. If he wants to avoid it then the voting must change. There are powertripping mods and admins on Lemmy but the fediverse makes sure that that is not the problem.

iirc blahaj has downvotes disabled
Downvotes are only blocked on that instance to user accounts created from it. Accounts from other instances can still see the downvotes (and vote).

I was banned lol. Oh no! What will I ever do!?
Honestly I find their use of "dogpile" very offensive. A pile of dogs?? How rude. Besides which, my sister is a complete and utter dog and I don't believe the mod in question has any right to talk about her hemerrhoids that way.
