It’s not fun interacting with them when they often want to engage in ad hominems. This is why I have no interest in the tankie triad.

      So, if there is a feedback loop where if dbzer0 users are ultimately okay with an admin harassing people, then the toxicity can persist? As long as they can convince others with lies then the admin can get away with it? That “tend to” in my quote seems to be doing some real heavy lifting, from my perspective.

        You’d prefer that one person decide by fiat what’s OK or not? I don’t know about you but I find democracy superior to dictatorship, even when nominally “benevolent” .

          So, obvious harassment and toxicity needs to be put to a vote for any action to be taken? Yeah, I’m going to have to disagree on that one.

              Since sdf is federated with dbzer0, then how is it safe from the dbzer0 mob? As you can see, lemmy.world/support was not safe either.

              I really just want them all to leave me alone.

                  I don’t see how that’s helpful at all. What does that do? At best get some validation?

                  I just happen to be particularly unskilled at convincing others and I can get riled up easily when someone needlessly tries to bully me. That shouldn’t qualify me for the treatment I’ve received here on Lemmy, but that’s not how it’s worked out.

                  I hate this place.

                    So then you can use that post to support your claims when you say you are getting bullied

                    I hate this place.

                    Advice was given on other threads. There are probably topics that you like that are not meta related. You can focus on those.

            Clearly, it’s not “obvious” at all. Again, we anarchists tend to prefer democracy over dictatorship.

              I wasn’t necessarily referring only to the specific circumstance. I was also pointing out the flaw in the logic of “only democracy”.

              Again, my point was that a common feedback loop and/or an alignment of a person’s toxicity can easily protect someone from justice. Similar to what is happening to the US political parties, particularly the Republican party. Plenty of people align and agree with what is happening and thus it is allowed to continue and even escalate.

              As long as someone can paint a better picture and have a following to support then, then a person can get away with seemingly anything at dbzer0. Just gotta get those votes from the people willing and able to participate during the voting period.

                  I’m supposed to have a “superior alternative” to point out the issues in a system?

                  How about just simply take action under some circumstances where it makes sense. Don’t let admins/mods/users get away with being toxic. Use logic and reasoning and put aside your own biases to look at a situation more objectively.

                  I just want these toxic dbzer0 users to leave me alone. Why is that so hard to understand? Do I need to create some formal case and put it to vote on an instance that I’ve blocked because I want to avoid it and their toxic users all because I can’t get away from these people who attack me for a simple disagreement of opinion?

                    So your suggest is that I just act by fiat against the other mods?

                    I don’t know mate, I feel like your issues would be resolved if you didn’t go in random threads and start badmouthing our instance as a whole and then complain the our users try to defend it.
