I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It’s not a community I’m super active in so it’s not like devastating, but it is annoying

If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can’t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website

The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all

    I defended @beaver@lemmy.world when a comment of theirs was reported.

    I was just given context on this. Looking at their comments in that light, I have decided to ban them from !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world for all their bad faith arguments. Banning people for “bad faith” voting is bullshit. Coming here to defend that horrible action will not be tolerated.

      Thank you and good riddance to @beaver@lemmy.ca, when you look at the amount of subs she is modding, it’s quite worrying. It makes me wonder if she does anything else with her time.

    I love the Lemmy vegan community - they are the second greatest shitposters around (fuckcars have the edge due to their expert ragebaiting).

    Nah, a ton of people say the same thing.

    They’re wrong, and so are the immediate bans (the bans are asshole moves, but you don’t just jump into a C/ without checking the vibe a little), but it’s too common a complaint to call unpopular.

    We all know it’s the vegan community. I got banned for simply voting on comments.

    Now they’re also spamming posts to fill up everyone’s feeds.

        Is that something regular moderators can do…?

        Not that I particularly care, but I moderate three communities on here and none of the tools available to me show who downvoted what. Exposing that type of info with that type of granularity feels like a bad idea to me; the sort of thing that is just begging to invite some sort of abuse.

          Yep, I mean you can see for yourself, I’ve never posted anything about veganism nor have I posted on the sub, and I was banned for “anti vegan sentiment” or something, I don’t feel like looking back at their rules lol.

            Their rules have the “word” “carnist” in them, so that should show you how seriously to take them.

      That explains why I’m banned from there. I saw a post from there pop up on all that I actually agreed with and when I tried to comment I learned I was banned.

      It was indeed! The post in question was particularly smarmy and my response was pretty tame in comparison. Why even have a community if you don’t want anyone to have a conversation?

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure I just got banned from that community and I’ve literally never posted in it. I’ve downvoted some posts, but they’re all pretty antagonistic, so what else else am i gonna do when it shows up in my feed?

    Just leave the rabid vegans alone. They are showing you who they are. Believe them and don’t waste your time trying to be rational with them.

    Some people get the tiniest shred of a hint of a… concept of a plan… of power and it turns them into tiny tinpot tyrants. Sometimes they’re on HOAs, sometimes they’re middle management, and sometimes they moderate communities or forums online. You can’t reason with them, and it’s out of your ability to destroy them, so you’re better off just shrugging your shoulders, giving them the finger, and then doing something else.

    They are echo bunkers. They only want comments and identity validating upvotes that whole throatedly support the orthodoxy of the echo bunker but they want to spread their extremist message by commenting on and brigading posts that they don’t like in other communities to try to bully, shame, and harass others into adopting their extremist quasi-religion and join their echo bunker.

    Was it on the vegan community? I bet it was on the vegan community.

    Their echo chambers are lined with the same material the tankies use in their communities.

    Vegans will talk mad shit and then get so mad when their thread reaches nonvegan feeds.

    Can’t stand the heat, which is why they eat salad.

    I’ve never come across a friendly vegan community. I’m not exactly looking for one but the ones that make themselves known tend to have extreme takes. There’s nothing wrong being vegan but their online community sure feels they’re going about it the wrong way, being overly dismissive and defensive rather than open and helpful.

    I never care about these posts unless you share what you posted.

    Too Many times the “it was just a little joke bro” turns out they called someone’s dog the N word or something and understand why they got banned.

    “What it wasn’t like I said it about a person, just a ***** dog”

    So, have fun OP, but making this post makes me doubt you more than them if you’re not going to recount any details at all.

    I’m sorry to report that I’ve down voted you, as I think this is a popular opinion. But I 100% agree with you. If you don’t want outside voices, don’t allow outsiders in.

    Seriously these mods ban you for literally nothing. I think they’re worse on here than they ever were on Reddit. Bunch of fucking children I swear to God.

        Oohh let’s try an experiment. I have never been to c/vegan even though my stepson and his wife are vegan so I guess I might have a reason to … sorta.

        Anyway here goes. … Hey c/vegan, the one mod over there is a completely douchebag and should just stop being a right cunt. Please ban me until they fuck off.

        How do you find out if your banned?

        I have no idea when I was banned from there. I assume it was this post, cuz I don’t think I’ve ever posted there before. I just noticed when I tried to upvote a thread earlier it wouldn’t let me so I assume this is where it came from.

          Was it c/vegan because there is apparently a mod there who has gone off the deep end and is banning anyone who downvotes let alone comments. They are hermetically sealing the c/vegan echo bunker.
