I was banned lol. Oh no! What will I ever do!?
This is some Karen behaviour right here bro
rest assured your sacrifice has improved the blocklist of everyone here, bro
Casually using the b-word is wild
lol, what a bro
Honestly I find their use of “dogpile” very offensive. A pile of dogs?? How rude. Besides which, my sister is a complete and utter dog and I don’t believe the mod in question has any right to talk about her hemerrhoids that way.
A pile of hot dog charmers
Bruh
bro*
Brah…
Openly admitting that bro is banning you due to others actions. What an ass
Bro…
bro…
I did not ban you, call you out publically, or insult you in any way
I decided to ban you
lolwut.
He didn’t call you out publically because ke was afraid of the rightfuk and expected backlash.
Threats done in private have a larger chance of success, and they knew it.
What a thin skinned pussy.
They should go back to being a Reddit and Discord mod
Yeah, RaoulDuke is a thin skinned pussy, coming here and whining that he got banned from somewhere he doesn’t want to be. Oh no! Who cares?
I read this in the “cartman crying to his mom” voice
Come at me.
Bro… What?
He is right, though. He politely asked you to avoid some language at his channel. Why would you downvote that comment?
Downvotes for disagreements were part of the downfall of reddit.
He politely asked you to avoid some language at his channel.
Let’s be clear - the mod asked that OP not downvote the mods comment asking another commenter to avoid using the word bro. OP never said bro.
Confrontationally DMing someone for a downvote is wild.
Exactly… And then banned them for something they did on a different community. It’s crazy to have such little power and still abuse it.
I’ve upset a prominent mod on Lemmy.world so much by simply having a differing opinion that they banned me from their sub instantly and permanently (with no ban reason given) and then must have vine and asked their other mod buddies to ban me from their communities that I’d literally never so much as even visited lol. Within probably 15 mins of the initial ban I was banned from 3 other communities permanently, and that mod wasn’t a mod on them.
I messaged a few of the other mods on the main sub to let them know what he did, but didn’t hear so much as a peep from them.
what community was it?
Name and shame.
OP never said bro.
Right, my mistake.
OP is also free to downvote however he pleases.
I just wanted OP to know that the way of his voting created ‘Reddit’. If he wants to avoid it then the voting must change. There are powertripping mods and admins on Lemmy but the fediverse makes sure that that is not the problem.

Let me get this straight, you’re saying that powertripping mods aren’t a problem, because you could technically have the same content on a other instance, but you think a single downvote is a problem?
What’s the alternative here? You’re so against the downvote being used as a disagree button, so do you think OP should’ve just openly commented their disapproval? How do you think this would’ve ended vs a powertripping mod?
If all choices you can make to show disapproval result in bans, is it your fault, the powertripping mods fault, or are you saying we should just shut up and take it?
do you think OP should’ve just openly commented their disapproval?
Yes. I think that’s how everything can develop respectfully.
Bro.
People choosing what a downvote is for are killing social media
Bro.
Found atomicpoet’s alt account.
He politely asked you to avoid some language at his channel.
“Refrain from the bro-speak.”
I don’t see a question here, just an unsoftened, unexplained demand.
Admins should only be looking at who downvotes posts when there is some sort of history of vote-abuse happening. Somebody voicing their opinion with their votes is a perfectly valid use of the upvote/downvote system.
PTB
Well, thats like your opinion /s
You forgot to put bro at the end mannnn
Exactly. You can’t spam upvites, because the problem with spam is that it buries and dilutes actual, useful, quality content. A user “spamming” upvoting or downvoting isn’t really actionable spam - his up/downvote isn’t drowning out the others.
The problem is brigading - when multiple people start mass up/downvoting and water down other votes.
Same goes for spaming votes with multiole accounts.
Bro wtf.
That’s crazy bro
Don’t tase me, bro!
Bro…
bruv
Guvnor
Bruh
We are not related.
Might want to check with your mom on that one.
LUKE!
Here’s the offensive “bro” speak. What a loser.
Ok what do you want then? “Bitch”?
Darth balls, snoochie boochies
Yes daddy
I feel like it’s fair to ask someone not to call you bro, but it’s fucked to threaten banning them over a downvote.
It’s fair to ask anything, also fair for me to think you’re a bit thick if that’s the kinda things you think about.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen that user name doing some stupid basement dwelling shit.
The need to touch grass.
I feel like was pretty obvious that “Bro.” here was used as an interjection, rather than calling atomicpoet a “bro”.
I was extremely tempted to go to the user’s profile and downvote a bunch of stuff at random.
I decided that was childish and inflammatory and changed my mind, although I do still think it would be a little bit funny. I also did find the mod’s original comment, and discovered you can still downvote comments which have been deleted out of cowardice. It’s now at -31 votes so presumably some other people had the same idea.
OP edited his comment to show what it said lol.
What a cunt aye. At least you know who to block now, no need for that sort of childish treatment 👍

Lmao at the Antifa community dominating the front page
rent free, ironically
The fascists will always use available technology to create their own safe spaces. They’re cowards.
However, we can and should do everything we can to make that experience as miserable and unusable as possible for them.
LOL, I don’t think the admin is getting the content they expected there :D
You should link it like this: !maga.place
Edit: Nevermind, that doesn’t work. Maybe that’s a Lemmy only thing.
That only works for communities.
Ah, you’re right. I think this is for instances:
It doesn’t work for me (400 error), but it might be defederated?
@ is for users, ! is for communities
I don’t think there is a way to view an entire instance from another one. I may be wrong but I haven’t been able to figure it out in 2 years.
It depends on your app. With Mlem if you navigate to a user or community you can then view the instance.
DMing me about downvoting your posts is a good way to get me to downvote you upon simply seeing your username. And bans don’t stop people seeing and downvoting your posts. Just posting and commenting in your comms.
Plenty of snowflake mods only post in their communities.
And bans don’t stop people seeing and downvoting your posts.
Pretty sure bans block voting.
That’s true.
Source: I’m banned from blahaj instance.
iirc blahaj has downvotes disabled
Downvotes are only blocked on that instance to user accounts created from it. Accounts from other instances can still see the downvotes (and vote).
Those votes don’t affect the score on the original instance, though. Other federated instances will still be able to calculate a truer score in that scenario.
Well that’s not an endorsement of you as a person.
And why’s that?
Prying into who has downvoted you is just not a healthy habit to get into. If you run your own instance, it’s important to just never use that ability.
IMO, this is the kind of DM that is best ignored. I think most of us don’t want these communities to work like that; don’t give it any oxygen.
Unfortunately this one is hard to ignore, it’s the sole mod of a large com.
Prying into who downvoted what is literally built into piefed.
From what I’ve seen Piefed seems to be just Lemmy but packed full of every pro-censorship tool you could ever imagine to aid in creating a “safe space” echo chamber for pussies.
Now that’s a take
He’s a right winger upset that most people disagree with him.
Totally agree.
That’s just like lookng for reasons to get angry.
For some people, finding reasons to be angry is a way of life.
Are you even a “progressive” if you’re not constantly actively looking for things to be offended/outraged about so you can try and censor someone who has a different opinion?
If by “constantly looking” you mean “surrounded by fucked up shit from a country that claims to be free and take care of its own, but literally the opposite” then yeah I suppose it does
Yeah, it’s good to have to check for vote manipulation, but if you don’t suspect that you should just avoid looking.
Got the same message LOL, I was also one of the down voters.
Had no idea mods can see voting stats.
This mod is weird and creepy for the message alone, stalking down voters WTF? Obviously thin skinned and on a power trip.
The freedom of anyone being able to start their own instance, then get a load of the ones that own their own servers… Some will be assholes on a power trip. It’s bound to happen.
Anyone can see votes. They are public. You’ve been upvoted by Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world and Slimthickens@lemmy.world
anyone can.
Neat! I always knew something like this was possible to build, never actually went looking for one.
I never look at who’s voting on what lol. I don’t care and think that shit’s creepy
Bro
You can escape the software architecture. You can’t escape the people.
People like this existed before reddit, back then you just say fuck that guy and go to a different forum.
But it was a friendly warning.
Its interesting how people are dogpiling this person in the name of “freedom of speech”…because they don’t like what he said?
There is nothing I care less about than the rules in some tiny forum I don’t plan on visiting. Brigading him because someone is in love with the term “bro” and can’t live without it is weirdo behavior.
Its interesting how people are dogpiling this person in the name of “freedom of speech”…because they don’t like what he said?
To be clear, they don’t like that he’s threatening to ban people from somewhere over speech. That is, first of all, not mere speech - that’s an action they’re threatening to take.
Second, it’s not some kind of gotcha or contradiction that some speech might be disapproved of in the defence of free speech. You might espouse the principle of peacefulness, yet no-one would suggest that responding violently in self-defence was in contradiction to that. Being in favour of free speech doesn’t mean being in favour of all speech; many and varying exceptions are made, for example for hate speech, threatening speech or indeed speech which has the effect of restricting or chilling the speech of others. And we’re not talking about a violent or legal response here but rather dogpiling - and while that does chill speech in general, it’s not on the same level so deservedly has a lower bar.
Friendly censorship of an inoffensive word. With the threat of being banned for flavor. SO friendly.
Funnily enough that’s exactly what this post here is for. It animates people to ignore that instance.
Nothing can replace somethingawful tho, or gaiaonline or gamefaqs
Isn’t the software architecture supposed to promote certain ways to interact? The medium is the message kind of thing?
A random mod being unreasonable doesn’t turn us all into reddit though. Unlike reddit, we can always open another comm with the same name and avoid the bastards.
bro, bro hates the word bro for no reason.
@atomicpoet@piefed.social bro, what is wrong with the word bro?
Taking action against someone or even just DMing them because of downvotes is some weak shit.
People like that seem to be who piefed is made for.
You seem to have a bug up your ass abiut piefed. Are you one of the lemmy devs?
Not at all. Reddit is popular.
Aww yeah, that’s the sort of sass I’m here for
This insanely nonsensical behavior is prevalent in tons of communities, and it should be shunned and avoided. These moderators are not worth a fraction of your time.
Moderator elections!
Lemmy is decentralized and admins of any instance can see upvotes/downvotes and moderate their instance as they want, we are far from reddit where the ceo of the company can decide to censor the whole platform.
I would like to highlight another problem that makes lemmy stink as much as reddit: why are you posting this in the asklemmy sub? Popular content on global frontpage is shit and a bunch of sub are hijacking all the traffic, had you posted this in another sub there would be 5 comments at best.
