Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it's good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.
I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.
Please tell me how I am the asshole :)
YDI.
Vegans are touchy because they are always experiencing the suffering of others through empathy they refuse to tune out. "Carnivores" are touchy because they resent the moral judgement of others.
YDI, mass downvoting is toxic.
You claim to hate the carnivore community, and yet you're here posting your beef... Curious
That is objectively funny😂
What is with all the twats purposefully going into communities they don't agree with just to be asswaffles?
YDI, and quite frankly I applaud the mod for not putting up with your bullshit and shutting you down before you disrupt their community.
We need to stop normalizing banning people for how they vote.
Notice how it's always people bitching about being "downvoted for disagreeing," but never for upvoting in agreement?
It's literally a 1-way street where we can only show our support for things. Fuck that.
Brah, it's bad form to just go into a community and start downvoting every single article you see. YDI.
I'm seeing more and more Lemmys doing that to try to control their narrative. Not cool.
Context for the cancer thing. Btw I did not downvote everything but that should not matter
YDI.
If you go around down voting everything, that's not acting in good faith. Down voting the post, yeah, that's one thing and it's perfectly fine to down vote posts that are (to your best knowledge) misinformation.
The problem starts when you go into comment sections and down vote everything. See, if you're doing that, it's ignoring whether or not the comments are on for the post. Disagreement isn't a valid reason to vote bomb an entire comment section. That's what an asshole does.
Now, I have done plenty of down voting in that community. But no blanket knee jerk vote sprees. That's where you cross from reasonable opposition into just trying to fuck with people.
It doesn't even matter what the topic is for this community. It isn't about validating or invalidating your opinion of subject, it's about whether or not the mod action was justified based on your actions. And they absolutely were.
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
