Aren't we all done with Teams?

Right, so you ignored entirely what this tangent is about.

The mod has stated they have automatic tooling for banning people who downvote on their communities and personally I was banned after one downvote. That cuts off any opposed discussion at a very early juncture.

Not to mention this ban extends to all communities they moderate, so the OP reason "community mismatch" in Carnivore also gets you banned from a bunch of other communities that aren't related to diet at all.

I mean, you can do whatever you want in the community you create, but by definition, all of the above is power trippin'.

I don't know what you're quoting here because I dont think that was at me.

I was pretty sure I downvoted like 3 posts and a couple of comments in those, but then upvoted another one and some comments in that thread. However, looking back at the comm, my UI shows I have only downvoted one post and no comments, so I must have actually been banned after downvoting literally 1 post. I only realised I was banned when I tried to comment on a post, so was still trying to participate without even realizing I couldn't.

You can upvote/downvote direcrly from All, but I think its pretty normal behaviour to click on it from there and then upvote/downvote. Downvoting literally every comment would be a lot more work and is a pretty dumb move.

Well idk it's a totally wild and completely stupid scenario, but there's scientific article that looks interesting which pops up on All, then you read it and realise it does not hold up so you downvote. Then you look at the community and see a horrible post saying meat cures cancer and you downvote that and then when you try to comment on another interesting one, you're banned. Based on a true story.

Don't worry about it, I will respect your choice to ban me and block all of your communities

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

If you truly prefer 2 then you wouldn't automatically ban people for downvoting posts in your communities. Downvoting things on my way past in my All feed is not an act of disrespect to your whole worldview.

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

In this case, it's not a profound disagreement with the community's purpose (carnivore diet). I find the concept interesting.

But if I see some horrendous thing from that community (Youtuber saying eating meat cures cancer) in my All feed and downvote it, then apparently I'm being a dick and deserve to be banned immediately?

Its kind of difficult to start discussions in your communities if I'm already auto-banned for downvoting a couple of things that pop up in your all feed...

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

But what if you read each article, find it's a pile of shit, then downvote it?

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz -2 points 1 day ago

But if there's a community spreading harmful disinformation and it pops up in my all, I should give it an upvote for the effort or what?

I see a lot of these communities browsing by all lately and when I downvote the posts I see (which are literal harmful disinformation) I get banned for downvoting.

Is it supposed to be us doing something about it? Not you and your band of cretins with your horrendous foreign policy?

The best part of my life is writing sarcastic comments on shitty takes like this. That's free and I'm a still in debt. Explain.
