Will it be effective?

Spoiler

No, it was not very effective.

EDIT: The banning event continues. Please consult the modlog to observe.

If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.

EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!

EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!

EDIT 4: The mod in question has now been removed as a mod of the [email protected] community, as a result of their abuse of power.

EDIT 5: This will be my final update, since as far as I see it, the issue this thread focuses on has been resolved. To quote Beaver herself in a very ironic comment she made directed towards someone else:

The Fediverse seems a lot "bubblier" than Reddit, with people quicker to hit the downvote button for views that intrude. I've lost a lot of drive to engage here, I find myself often dropping a comment into a discussion and then never looking back at it. Unfortunate, but I suppose not too surprising when communities are smaller.

I hide downvotes since we can (latest Lemmy upgrade), that's better

I also hide downvotes due to the same reasons, (was getting stressed) but that also hides other users' downvotes. Is there any way to still see them?

Sorry. Do I understand this correctly? You were getting stressed by random internet strangers downvoting you? Are you serious?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

yeah I have an anxiety disorder, I get stressed by a lot of things

I’m sorry to hear that. I hope life becomes slower and calmer for you in the future. I don’t read anything into up or down votes. I just open my fat stupid mouth and anonymously comment. Sometimes people like it, sometimes they don’t. Voting is more a reflection of the people you talk to. I’m sure the first person who said the world was round and circled the sun would have been downvoted into oblivion back in the day, but… gestures broadly at modern astronomy. Don’t sweat it.

Not that I know of, it's all or nothing at the moment
