Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Not a vegan, but what's the point from the other side?
It seems like non vegan people downvote the posts from that community without contributing at all, and then are surprised they get banned
If you guys are willing to debate vegan topics, why not create a !vegandebate and post content there?
Or just block the community and move on
It's not the vegan posts people are down voting, but there's been a huge amount of "memes" that do not contribute to the vegan discussion but just try to divide the community
They are probably trying to identify people who would rather downvote or post cheeky comments (see OP) rather than block the community, or not interact with it
Most people only interact with votes; not comments. If the rule is “No downvoting” make it an official rule and stop banning people under the pretense of breaking rule 5.
With the current thread on !unpopularopinion@lemmy.world how "communities should allow everyone to interact if they are not private", the likelihood of someone else creating the same thread as this one with "look at those authoritarian mods who ban everyone" is quite high
You mean this?

Oh shoot, so the mod in question (of this thread) has since been removed as a moderator?
I've edited the main post to reflect this development, thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Yes. Several others as well:

I meant the thread you were predicting 😅
And what about those commenting on good faith?
And what's the problem with voting on public posts on a public forum?
I'd love to see vegan content, not ... whatever meme shitshow that community has become.
We can always ask for better.
Do you have examples? That modlog is a bit busy as you know, I'm not going to go through it
What's the problem with banning on a public forum?
There was a post yesterday about vote manipulation by bots (https://feddit.org/post/2795018 ), if people just downvote the vegan content without contributing, it's not that far from that.
Or maybe it just comes from them seeing downvotes as "non relevant to the community" and not "disagree", hence getting rid of people who use it the other way.
I'm really not sure to get why it's such a big deal. You got banned from a small community on Lemmy.
I'm not doing your homework for you.
Participating in a conversation ain't homework. And if you don't want to have a conversation, don't bother replying.
