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 :)

    The mod, Jet, has a shitty tool that considers someone to ‘down vote everything’ if someone down votes the single comment that Jet added to one of his own posts in his misinformation spreading communities as he explains here: https://lemmy.world/post/29364582/16948483

    Currently it does not, if someone really dislikes a community enough to down vote a post and then go through the effort to open it and also down vote the only comment, it’s a strong signal they are not a good fit for the community

    That’s right, if you open a single post by Jet in one of Jet’s misinformation communities you saw on All and down vote the post and Jet’s one comment that expands on the misinformation then you are accused of ‘down voting everything’ and banned from all of Jet’s communities. That includes seeing a single post in All, opening it and down voting the post and the comment.

        Not even sure the comment is needed, pretty sure somewhere else Jet said they banned if someone down voted without commenting. So either one or two votes gets you banned from a dozen, admittedly shitty, communities and is called systemic down voting or something like that.

      OP downvoted every post in the comm. That’s not a shitty tool, that’s a shitty user

      Edit: It’s hilarious how biased parent commentor is, that he downvoted me pointing out something simple and obvious.

      Holy moly I didn’t even know that existed or that anyone can (easily) see your votes. Let alone bots.

      If I made a mistake and you want to participate in the community productively I’ll unban someone who asks and gives their word to maintain polite discourse.

        Fuck your disingenuous call for civility, you don’t give a shit about productive discourse you’re just pushing a meat industry agenda

          I’m not implying it - I’m saying it explicitly - 100% downvotes are negative. They are a signal that the content is bad for lemmy. They have a real chilling effect on people participating in smaller communities.

        Your communities are terrible and burning them to the ground would be productive.

            The bot doesn’t read intent, it just bans anyone who doesn’t agree with your misinformation.

              I’m using a heuristic to approximate if a user will be a positive community member.

              I’m sure there is room for improvement

              You have demonstrated you would not be a good fit for the community.

              Right now I don’t see a problem with the heuristics

                Anyone who disagrees with you isn’t a good fit. That’s why almost all of the comments are you replying to your own posts.

                  Actually I welcome disagreement. I love a good debate. It’s good for the community to have threads with lots of comments, and that usually only happens when people disagree

                  I’m about building a community. Which means growing participation. If every post in the community gets dog piled immediately then it discourages other people from genuinely participating.

                  I see moderating as a form of gardening, you have to cultivate the garden you want, weed it, nurture it.

                    Thats your problem, its not gardening and people aren’t plants. Plants don’t give a shit if you act like a self-righteous asshole.
