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.
To be clear, OP wasn’t one of the major serial downvoters whose names overlap on our ban lists. I was only explaining why I usually ban people since it was in relation to the conversation of banning for repeated downvoting. OP is banned from my communities because he keeps calling me a fascist over a previous moderation decision. I strongly disagree that banning someone from a small Lemmy community for downvoting and being rude makes me a fascist.
I’m sorry you received rape threats. That’s completely unacceptable, and even more disturbing and vulgar that it happened over moderation. I’ve received threatening DMs myself, but nothing as horrible as what you experienced. The fact that some people on Lemmy behave that way is disgusting, especially over something as inconsequential as a community ban.
I know I didn’t see them in mine and I knew I didn’t ban them. Honestly calling someone a fascist over being banned for downvoting everything that’s definitely a reason to ban from all.
Yeah it’s not okay. Actually I’ve been impersonated and doxxed as well so really awful shit. There are at least a few seriously unhinged people on here. People who need to be locked up.
I’ve had people try to doxx me. One told me to look behind me “right now!” because he was watching me. Which would have been pretty amazing to pull off considering I was on teh toilet in my bathroom in my tiny apartment. Another told me that he knew what town I lived in and would be stopping by. He didn’t even have the correct state. People who do crap like this have lives that are so tiny that they think that by trying to intimidate someone, they have power over that person. Pathetic that they do that all because they got kicked out of a small online community that no one’s heard of
They actually posted street view of my house. Exact street and state I live in. It scarred the shit out of me. Thankfully I was able to get programming.dev’s admins to delete the images from pict-rs and ban the dipshit who did it. Still needed to stay with family for a while and was scared I would need to move.
That’s awful. I’m sorry you had to deal with that. That’s a lot.
