I’m not a troll, I just call other people out for their BS.

I think most of lemmy.today is bad faith astroturfing.

This is not the first time !PapaSkwat@lemmy.today has preemptively banned me from a community I’m pretty sure I’ve never interacted with.

This is a warning for others. Do not assume posts on Lemmy.today are real or in good faith.

Here is a related post with similar circumstances.

    The number of comms I’ve never heard of before, but already been banned from is too damn high! Most of them are .ml, though, so it’s kind of expected.

    But also a few because some powermod got super-salty about me downvoting their AI slop posts. No other interaction, just a few downvotes.

    How thin-skinned do you have to be to go around banning people from every comm you have control over because somebody downvoted your post?

      That’s against the rules in some communities. Some consider it unhealthy behavior to sweep through and downvote everything simply because you dislike AI, especially if you’re not engaging with the posts. And especially if they are small communities.

      If you ran a tiny anti-AI community and a bunch of pro-AI users came in every single day and downvoted every single post just because they disagreed with the idea of the community, would you be cool with that? That’s basically what you’re describing here. You’re free to take that position, but communities are also free to make up their own consequences for that kind of behavior.

        I’ve seen this before. People go out of their way to downvote as much content and encourage others to do the same in an effort to suppress communities. Now whether these anti-AI people like it or not. AI communities have the right to exist on Lemmy, when they don’t it’s up to instance admins to remove them. Taking it upon one’s self to attempt suppression of said communities will be seen as hostility by those communities and will earn bans from those spaces.

        Also OwOarchist left out that they were seemingly instance banned from blahaj.zone for encouraging a suicidal poster to commit suicide. I trust Blahaj’s mods on that way more than I trust them it was more than likely correct. Which means they aren’t exactly a great person themselves.
