Names blurred to protect the innocent / crazy. Not trying to call anyone out, just thought the response was hilarious and highly disproportionate. Like, they distinguished that comment (green border/background).
For reference, the comment I presume that was downvoted that apparently triggered that response was to the tune of “BoTH SiDEz!!!” with some hyper generalizing / stereotyping on the side.
Which instance? Just want to know so I can avoid it.
You can search for the text if you want (which should find it for you), but I’m not here to out anyone. I just thought the crazy-ass response was hilarious and worthy of a post here.

Not sure their reaction deserves such derogatory terms.
I post in a few non-English communities. There was a time when posts would instantly get downvoted, most probably because people didn’t speak the language and did not know how to configure it in their settings. As a consequence, the content would usually get buried, when not completely vanish from the feeds (there was a bug at the time that wouldn’t show any post with 0 votes)
I can imagine what it would feel like if I were to have “controversial” stances, and where people would systematically downvote by content. That’s borderline harassment, and can frustrate quite fast.
As I said in another comment: if you don’t like a community, block it and move on. As long as content is not illegal or breaks any regulations, just let the people be. What is the point of purposely go to a community you have nothing to do with just to downvote stuff?
I can understand the reaction of the OP here.
On top of that, as Lemmy is so small that they got instantly identified, that makes things even worse.
:sigh: So i’ll just put all the cards on the table here.
-
I was subscribed to the community, so it wasn’t a drive-by downvote.
-
I’m pretty positive (99.9999999% sure) language barrier was not the issue. What was stated in the comment was very clear, ignorant, and broadly stereotyping (not to mention offensive).
-
I didn’t even downvote the post. I downvoted the ignorant, broadly stereotyping, offensive comment by the OOP.
-
I didn’t even reply to the offensive comment because I don’t have time, energy, or enough fucks to give for such an ignorant take.
-
OOP decides to put anyone who downvoted them on blast.
-
OOP of that (which I am still tactful enough to keep anonymous), has DM’d me twice and insulted me.
-
OOP deletes the whole post and pops in here to play the victim. But that’s on me for letting them get away with that. I was trying to be tactful and not call anyone out when I should have taken screenshots of the whole thing.
The real Fedidrama was the drama we made along the way 😂
So what that made me mad? And you are aware that it does? Is it really nice to post this stuff even when its “blurred” so people can laugh at me? Is that really an adult thing to do? You absolutely are trying to call me out, you are being cruel. If you don’t like what I have to say block me and move on, what you did is vicious and mean spirited.
Why bother participating and paying for this when I’m treated like shit by drive by people, like yourself. You even participated in my content but as soon as I’m not lock step in support of your fascist government and show any kind of emotions, I’m crazy. Never mind I have a stressful job, never mind that I am lonely and set this up to keep up with my friends and now just to get shit on by anonymous. Never mind my family has been repeatedly victimized by the US government. I didn’t meet your standards so now you must ridicule me, denigrate me as crazy and get a crowd of people to laugh?
Delete this post and fuck off. Leave me, my instance and my friends who use this the fuck alone. I defederated your instance and will block you after this. Feel free to post this publicly and denigrate me some more if you need to with your crew of mean spirited people like yourself who must silence everything and call it crazy for being different.
The only crazy-ass thing is someone who is supposedly an adult acting like a child and being cruel. Go away.
