Is fediverse turning into reddit?
-
All I did was downvote.

It's a troll...
Piefield.social sprung up overnight, and when I tried to comment on a post I realized I had been instance banned almost as soon as the instance was created.
It's also super hard to see stuff in their modlog, or even who their admins are, let alone how many actual use it.
So that message is most like one of their admins. Another thing they seem to do to troll is just reply "disengage" to random people and if a reply happens after that it's called stalking.
I legitimately can't tell if it's intentional trolling as a joke, or if they're serious and that crazy. It doesn't really matter though....
Just block the whole instance, you're literally missing nothing.

No, because on the Fediverse you always have the option of making your own instance and your own community (with blackjack and hookers) if you don't like how the one you're on is being run. Literally no point in complaining because unlike reddit you are always free to make your own with your own rules elsewhere whenever you want.
Honestly this whole comment section with people proposing to dogpile this user for how they feel seems a lot more "reddit" than anything else.
EDIT: 12 hours later and now we've moved into people making shitposts about it. Definitely reddit-style beating a dead horse and basically choosing to harass a person when all they have to do is ignore them.
Damn this is so true. I did go find that comment just to downvote it tho bc I think it's funny

Aren’t all humans related?
Your mom really gets around.
-
Got the same message LOL, I was also one of the down voters.
Had no idea mods can see voting stats.
This mod is weird and creepy for the message alone, stalking down voters WTF? Obviously thin skinned and on a power trip.
The freedom of anyone being able to start their own instance, then get a load of the ones that own their own servers... Some will be assholes on a power trip. It's bound to happen.
Anyone can see votes. They are public. You've been upvoted by [email protected] and [email protected]

No, The thread is shitting on mods that threaten bans for disagreeing with them.
-
They said "avoid using it," not "avoid using it for me." The first is a power trip, the second is perfectly reasonable. And DMing someone to complain that they downvoted you is already pretty unhinged, but threatening a ban?

Brotherhood of man, and all that.

Here’s the offensive “bro” speak. What a loser.
I feel like it's fair to ask someone not to call you bro, but it's fucked to threaten banning them over a downvote.
-

Same
And considering piefed.social is based in New Zealand where just about every one is a bro - unless they are a good cunt
-
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
You can get banned from the .ml for asking a wrong question. I wouldn't bother with that instance, just move on.
A bit sad though that a lot of interesting and popular communities are hosted on ml -

Yeh, disagreeing with someone about how that person wants to be referred to is such a normal and polite thing to do /s
-
DMing me about downvoting your posts is a good way to get me to downvote you upon simply seeing your username. And bans don't stop people seeing and downvoting your posts. Just posting and commenting in your comms.
And bans don't stop people seeing and downvoting your posts.
Pretty sure bans block voting.

This post did not contain any content.
This guy sounds like a huge fucking loser bro

That's true.
Source: I'm banned from blahaj instance.

What are the maga instances ur referring to?
-
anyone can.
Neat! I always knew something like this was possible to build, never actually went looking for one.

Ugh...can we ban dumbshits who expect the world to revolve around their feelings? Republicans do it more than enough for everyone already
-
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
IMO women can be dudes and bros too. Dudehood and brodom are a state of mind.
-
Bro, your Lemmy client has a lot of negative space.
Just like my brain. In many ways.
