and all I got was an unhinged message and a bunch of confusing bans a day later

      Looks like they’re tripping down now if you go to dubvee.org.

      Unsurprising they’re saying others are doing darvo, and even angry at lemmy.world admins for not listening to rimu trying to get most of the fediverse blocked.

        If he wanted to be a mod, then he should have done mod shit. You can’t make a neutral product as a developer and then code it like a mod. The fact that he doesn’t see the problem is the problem.

        I don’t care that he made a ban list. I don’t care that I’m on it. I care that he sold a window into the community for others without telling the people using that window that he erased huge chunks of the community at large. Regardless of his opinions, that is what he did.

        To do what? Gentrify Lemmy? You can’t come into Tortuga and try to sell it as a resort by putting a tarp over the pirates mate.

        I wanna make snide remarks but I’m convinced this is a mental health thing now.

      I do feel bad they’re getting harassing DMs and death threats though, that is taking it too far. But I don’t know what sort of reaction they expected from doing something so underhanded and then taking the high road after.

        Oh yeah, that’s fucked up. The kind of people who make that big of a deal out of it, enough to send threats, are reinforcing his reasoning. It sucks that he’s stuck inside the meat grinder now, but he did throw himself in.

        It reads like no one gave them a chance to open a dialogue on a post where they shut down the dialogue.

          Could you clarify?

          The previous post was a monologue from the get go, it was explicitly created with the comment section muzzled

            He starts off the second post by blaming the audience for not wanting an explanation, otherwise he would answer questions. I’m saying that’s hypocritical because the comments are shut down.

              Yeah, that’s what i was hoping you meant. What he’s clearly complaining about is people don’t want to countenance his unrepentant violation.
