I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. Itā€™s not a community Iā€™m super active in so itā€™s not like devastating, but it is annoying

If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who canā€™t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website

The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol

I donā€™t know about anyone else, but I donā€™t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when Iā€™m in view all

Is that something regular moderators can doā€¦?

Not that I particularly care, but I moderate three communities on here and none of the tools available to me show who downvoted what. Exposing that type of info with that type of granularity feels like a bad idea to me; the sort of thing that is just begging to invite some sort of abuse.

ActivityPub votes are public by design, Lemmy just hides the voters from users, while Mbin displays them. Anyone can also spin up their own instance and get access to the data.

PieFed recently added a feature to pseudonymize votes. When enabled, your votes are labeled with the name of a shadow account linked to yours, but only the administrators of your instance know that it belongs to you.

Yep, I mean you can see for yourself, Iā€™ve never posted anything about veganism nor have I posted on the sub, and I was banned for ā€œanti vegan sentimentā€ or something, I donā€™t feel like looking back at their rules lol.

Their rules have the word ā€œcarnistā€ in them, so that should show you how seriously to take them.

Itā€™s a real word, even if itā€™s a relative neologism, so Iā€™m not sure why you have the scare quotes around it. In fact, the term has been in use for over t20 years, so, IDK man, maybe accept it. Implying that itā€™s not a real word because you donā€™t like itā€“versus because itā€™s used as a slur to other peopleā€“kinda feels like Muskā€™s complaints about cisgender.

Unpopular Opinion

!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world

Create post

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If itā€™s something thatā€™s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a ā€œGeneralā€ unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Letā€™s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesnā€™t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping othersā€™ opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldnā€™t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
