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 :)

    Right, so you ignored entirely what this tangent is about.

    The mod has stated they have automatic tooling for banning people who downvote on their communities and personally I was banned after one downvote. That cuts off any opposed discussion at a very early juncture.

    Not to mention this ban extends to all communities they moderate, so the OP reason “community mismatch” in Carnivore also gets you banned from a bunch of other communities that aren’t related to diet at all.

    I mean, you can do whatever you want in the community you create, but by definition, all of the above is power trippin’.

      Yeah, this is intentional, if I as a human have to review someone’s behavior and approve a community ban then I don’t want to have to do it for each of my communities one after another. It’s a broad heuristic. I probably should improve the tooling to only do the ban by a group of communities rather then all I moderate.

      As you can imagine in the past removing someone from a single community causes them to go to my other communities and throw negativity around.

      Ideally each community would have a moderator account so they arn’t obviously linked - that is a optimization for the future.

      Did you contact the mod directly? They’ve also said they’re happy to unban but you’d have to behave like an adult instead of throwing a tantrum.

      It’s really not power tripping unless they directly refuse to engage and remove the ban after you’ve attempted to resolve it civilly. Mods often use tools to manage their responsibilities and tools can make mistakes, as can mods.

      As long as it aligns with what you believe, otherwise it’s power tripping.
