People say this stuff and then claim that we're doing bad faith takes. Go figure.

We really don't use votes for yptb. We have specific keywords if one wants to tally. Likewise actual voting happens in our governance comm, and our actual users seem to be onboard with what we've been doing consistently
Honestly, I think calling what's ongoing "bullying" is kinda strange. If anything we wanted to cool the situation down.
This was pretty much my point. lemmy.ml and Hexbear love how their admins behave, and that's all the admins feel like they need to know. My point was that (a) you're starting to operate along the same lines, it looks like, and (b) that's not always a good thing.
I would rather show me which admins are more centered on what every rando on the internet thinks. Then I can point you to someone about to have a burnout.
Feel free to make a ytpb post about it and we can see what people think about such mods
Yes people seem to forget that the world is going to hell in a hsndbasket, naturally a lot of people are having way less patience than before
I disagree with your framing. I think you're being dishonest in your framing on what caused the mod actions. At the end of the day we and Ada are beholden to our respective users, and as it turns out, they think those were the right choices.
And yes, we're going to take action about harassment of our own users, that's the duty of an instance admin. I want to point out however that all this brouhaha is over a 7days ban. Literally the mildest of punishments ever, and you're at the point of pondering what's rotten in the whole instance and writing walls of text, over a short term "chill out" ban.
Ye, we obviously can have some acerbic users as well, can't avoid it 12k registrations. But if someone is too toxic consistently, we tend to get rid of them. Still doesn't make the instance tankie thought 😅
They are not normally tankies
What, in your opinion, makes us "tankies" from what you just said? Respect for the neopronouns, intolerance towards Genai-hater trolls, or mod actions towards someone who went on a harassment campaign towards one of our users?
Anarchists always had very similar critiques towards capitalism as Marxists. Where we differ is what we do about it, and these actions is what can label someone a "tankie"
This stinks of astroturfing
3 mods for 12k active users? This is not nearly enough imho

Threativore can now auto-deny registration applications that contain a specific string

Not sure which thread you mean, but If you think people expressing their low opinions about someone is "bullying", then, well you haven't experienced bullying. And also, what the hell do you expect of dbzer0 admins to do about people expressing such opinions? You want us to go around protecting the people you like from public opinion? Like, this is a legit absurd argument path.
It's easy to look right when fighting against strawmen.
