Is fediverse turning into reddit?
-
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.

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.
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.

People like this existed before reddit, back then you just say fuck that guy and go to a different forum.
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.

I’m not your friend, bro!
I'm not your bro, dude!

Or even better - just let us moderate what we see ourselves. There’s no need for some wannabe dictators to get to decide what we can read or say. I don’t need or want an echo chamber of the mods preferred:allowed opinions and ideologies. As long as it doesn’t break the law just leave it and whoever said it alone, and let everyone else decide how they want to handle it.

I'm a trans girl and I hate being called bro. Lots of people say it without thinking because it's a habit

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.
In theory sure, but not in reality. Most communities are already consolidated on here, so shitty mods have control just like they do on reddit. “Just make a new sub if you don’t like the mods” didn’t work in Reddit and it doesn’t work on the fediverse for the exact same reasons.
What we need is for mods to basically have no power over users or what they say. No bans, no deleting comments, no removing posts - just let people ignore/block who they want, and give them robust filtering options. It would be infinitely better for everyone who isn’t a big girls blouse who craves censorship of differing opinions.
