Yea, I actualy am not bright enough to have a solution. I just see that Lemmy is just becoming more and more toxic because of how people are using their votes to control narratives lately.

Dbzer0 banned me like two years ago or so already anyways.

Wow, this sounds like you are ban evading then. Hmmmm...

Lemmy is already like this, even more so than Reddit. The fact that people come here because they think Reddit is right-wing is hilarious to me. Reddit is one of most leftist places online. And extreme about it. The fact that people come here because they think Reddit is "right-leaning" shows you just how insulated people want to be by coming here.

Most people stay here because they want more extreme insulation. The few that come here thinking it's more open and less censorship find out real quick, that's not true. I saw a post in a casual non-political community about a guy talking about taking a walk and enjoying the weather.

Comments immediately combusted into posters talking about Trump and Musk. LMAO

Yes, I would like to get rid of votes. Because people weaponize them, and people like you take advantage of them. If you don't agree with a community, just block it and move on. You don't need to go in and just do a long stream of downvoting.

In a perfect world, voting works. But lemmy seems to draw a crowd that seems to harbor more obsessive types who can't let something go.

Brah, you don't even like the community you're mad about! lol But you seem mad that now you aren't allowed to downvote there anymore.

The mod even gave you a chance to be unbanned, and you decided not to take him up on it. You brought it here to see opinions, and most of the opinions are that you are in the wrong. It is what it is.

i look forward to the lemmy 1.0 feature “private communities” where only subscribers see posts.

Any idea when this feature comes out?

Ahhh, ok. I haven't heard of that here in US yet, but I'm sure it's probably already happening here.

You guys rock. Like always.

Not sure why you're bringing me into this. First, I'm not, and never have been, transphobic. My gf is transgender and beautiful. Secondly, I don't even know this Leni person.

Feel free to hate me, but do you really have to bring up my name every single time someone says something controversial?

Besides, I never even did anything controversial except vote for the Socialist candidate instead of Democratic candidate in the election. Only fucking Lemmy would call that controversial.

I stand by my voting record. You all are obsessed! lol

I have no alt names though--I'm just on a few different instances. I use my same name though.

Funnily enough, back in the day, people thought I was an alt of linkerbaans.

You guys seem to believe you see "alts" everywhere, especially if you disagree with someone.

You know, it could be, that there are more than one or two people that disagree with you. And that's ok. That doesn't mean they are the same person. lol

But to be fair, I don't really pay attention to the art or the abstract. It's the article that I read. So all good.

I'm gonna look up Anna info next. I don't know anything about her either.

I'm against because I think it's just censorship. Funny how when it was twitter, no one had problems. But Musk bought it and now it's a problem.

My experience is that there is no fucking difference between how it was and how it is now. Lemmy just hates Musk.

Having said that, I'm not really passionate about it either way. And as long as screen shots can still be shown, I'm cool.

But guys, you're not even making a dent in Musk's money hoard by avoiding linking to it. lmao

And hey, it's this instance. And it was voted on, so I can totally accept it. I'd much rather it be a vote than some power-hungry guy just making the decision. :)
