And the rest:
And the thread in question:
https://lemmy.world/post/11713611
So we need to have a long and serious talk about the authoritarian chucklefucks you all are allowing to dominate your platform, for this is an example of this flagrant bullshit someone else DMed me recommending I go to admins about, but we all know the admins are a group of Good Ole Boys who will do nothing but protect the mod. 🤦
So why is everyone putting up with this? Did we not leave Reddit to get away from power tripping scumbags? Do people not want a community ruled by the consent of its people? People were flagging shit based on bad faith arguing which last I checked falls under that sub’s first rule.
Oh, but telling a mod “no” is unacceptable. 🤦
We all need to come together and create an actual democratic platform because this is blatant authoritarianism and is not acceptable.
Oh, icing on the cake:
The votes look pretty even to me. And your count isn’t looking so great there, hoss.
And yes, this is obviously a democracy and a free community. Mods and admins can’t just do what they want. People have expectations for a free and fair place to hang out they have to abide by, especially if they want to keep users.
If you were someone considering switching over from Reddit and you saw this thread, you wouldn’t want to join regardless of how you personally felt about me.
You are being irrational about this and you know it.
