You would like to get rid of votes? The one thing that differentiated Reddit and now Lemmy? Why are you not using Facebook or Discord or any other platforms focused on positive community building?
And no I did not target this person. As I have explained I scrolled hot and Lemmy doesn’t have enough content yet to idk “drown out the noise”
At this point you just wanted to literally be comment nr 100😉
No, if downvotes with things I don’t agree with are considered hostile I don’t think it’s a good idea. I don’t think I want to interact with this carnivore sub on an ongoing basis but I was interested in wether general participation on Lemmy regardless of the community is welcomed or if bubble building is the new meta.
I went to the community because a post from it crossed my hot posts page. I did disagree with the post and subsequently checked out the community.
No I did go to the community to check it out, that part tracks, yes I downvoted a few posts. The cooking stuff I downvoted I also do not agree with (the beef chart excludes the head from the edible parts, the ribeye cooling one is in my opinion way over the top, a simple cast iron skillet does the job. The blended steak, meat bagels and meat cinnamon rolls I don’t think are a good idea. The brisquet price comparison I also do not agree with as I think that price does not make that big of a difference in comparison to the way to cook it, but on that one I definitely get how I should have been more open minded).
I think the interesting part is wether I should be allowed to be in opposition on most of a community or not. I think that we are a community on Lemmy as a whole and that it is ok to discuss things. I can still see why brigading is problematic. Then it comes down to the definition of good faith which is arguable and there it is interesting wether there can be good faith in participating in a community whilst being opposed to the main lines. I am not even in fundamental opposition about eating (and enjoying!) meat so I would have guessed that I acted in good faith. I guess I could see why jet did get offended and I guess I take a more lenient approach on the two Comms I mod. That being said there is probably significantly less contestation around the communities I mod.
That is objectively funny😂
Refers to the Sidebar: “This is a community in the spirit of “Am I The Asshole” where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.”
Edit: And I did not, I think if you search for audience on a public site it should be the deal that the public is invited to discuss and form opinions by voting. I think there might be some interesting things about micronutrients and wether it is feasible to get them in any way other than meat but the things I downvoted I do not agree with. Please have your bubble but as I said I actually love meat, so I am not by any means radical about that. I’m here to discuss wether the feddit (Lemmy) community deems an opinion on a topic differing from the main line of a community expressed through voting an offence or a valid participation in the topic of a community…
That was the only comment I voted on. Because I did not see the person being helpful based on their posts. I did not vote spree the other comment sections. I did vote on the posts… I would not call that downvoting of posts in the community kneejerk. The statement the mod gave is not true I checked to make absolutely sure.
Thank you for elaborating though.
Context for the cancer thing. Btw I did not downvote everything but that should not matter
Holy moly I didn’t even know that existed or that anyone can (easily) see your votes. Let alone bots.
