What’s the evidence these are the same people?
Notice how this is never answered. There is no evidence, because it's not true. Why interrupt a good Universal Monk hatefest with logic? lol
Hey, brother, you do you. Fight the power! I have no issues with ya, mate.
I'm only going by the information that the OP posted. OP did say '...so I got out of there. The next day I see more of his junk and go to downvote but can’t because I’m banned.' and then he goes on to admit 'Sure it was a dick move to poke the bear about his lifestyle of only posting things that get downvoted'
So it seems like he posted to just get a reaction. And it looks like he dm'd the mod first, making fun of him and mod responded. But neither he or the OP have responded to any of the comments in the thread, so we have no idea of what's really going on.
Most of my communities are here on dbzer0 and sh.itjustworks, so I have no desire to move. But I did hear that a new update was coming up to allow more tools for mods. Maybe what you are suggesting is in there?
Good point, but if the admin doesn't disable downvotes like you are saying, then the mod can't do anything about that. It would be cool if mods had the ability to disable downvotes.
Yea, I actualy am not bright enough to have a solution. I just see that Lemmy is just becoming more and more toxic because of how people are using their votes to control narratives lately.
Ahh, ok, I get ya now. That's true. But you can't post to a place you've been banned, so it wouldn't remain shadow-banned in the common use of the term. You'd find out then.
To your point, silent banning happens for sure. Has happened to me a lot.
Well because the line of thinking is that if you are banned, then have start on a different instance and post on the place where you are banned, it's ban-evading. Just giving you the heads up. I personally don't care if you post here or not, I have no issues with you. Just saying that you are sorta admitting out loud to ban-evading.
Fuckin' well said!
I thought it was just because I have a new bigger monitor and everything is fuckass small now on my computer. Looks like OP messaged the mod first. Looks like he was laughing and dissing the mod, then mod replied but I can't see for certain. Gave up looking looking and just cursed my monitor until your post.
Actually weren't you around back in the day of the original hate too?! Have I lied any of my responses to people here?! I have always advocated for third-party voting, independent thoughts, seeing both sides of arguments, allowing opposing opinions, etc. All my posts are public!
It used to be, 'Universal Monk is from russia. He posted an article about the Green Party. He's in Putin's pocket. He'll be gone right after the election! Just you wait and see!' One time a guy posted a chart of all the exact times I posted, looking at the time and decided that I was in Russia in the middle of the night, posting shit to match time zones up with Minnesota daytimes and make it look like I worked 9 to 5 or some shit.
Now they're saying I'm conservative and all my thousands of posts about piracy, anarchy, socialism, workers rights, etc is just a ploy! A ploy to...to..... to.... to... Wait! A ploy to rule the world? No. Oh! A ploy to get rich!! No, no one has even heard of Lemmy. Oh I get it! A ploy to spoil the election! Oh wait, election is over, and the number of non-voters far outweigh any third party voters
Oh! It's so I can ban people for downvoting as I cosplay Don Musk. The fuck are people here thinking?! lol
