That’s not theft. We only see it as theft because the cat does it sneakily, but it only sneaks because if it didn’t the fajita might have escaped, as cats assume all food other than wet food and kibble is like mice

Solar power systems pay for themselves in four years, and typically last week in excess of 20.

It doesn’t make sense to think they have more energy or material in their construction than they make, as then they would be more expensive

I’m happy to do without the wigs, but the style is great. The worst thing about history is the envy for past styles, especially for men. Women’s clothes of then were beautiful, but so cumbersome

An electric mower runs on sunlight (at least mine does), at some point their batteries will be recyclable. They have to be better than both

I think, from his comment upthread, that last time he was in PTB he was told his fault was not warning people before banning them, hence the DMs

Suppressing people who come to a community to just downvote stuff seems fine. If someone doesn’t like everything the community likes they are not a good fit for the community

I hang out in trans spaces here, trans people rank .world with .ml. I deleted my .world account because I don’t want to wear a badge of anti trans

Down voting small communities can drown out constructive conversation, and if you down voted the top 3 posts in a community you probably should have blocked it instead.

If the community likes stuff you dislike, it’s probably not the right place for you

Lemmy doesn’t yet support hiding communities from the “all” list from non subscribers (you’d have to use search to find such communities) so you’ll see stuff from communities that are intended for a specific audience, use the block function

You’re in luck. With dubvee closing the community has moved to !carnivore@discuss.online

I’m a mod in a community that some hate, we automatically ban anyone who visits (or trips over it on the front page) and only down votes too many things

Some of them have felt hard done by, but they don’t want to be unbanned, they really don’t want to see our content

I wonder if the op was really just db0 being just a little more trigger happy. The “nothing” might have been down voting something that quickly attracted tens of down votes in quick succession, causing them to be mistaken for brigading. Votes cluster in time.

If you’re worried about cloud based monitoring you can self host monitoring with things like open energy monitor’s emon pi

I think just about every year I have lived has been the hottest year of my life

I’m glad you’re trying and I hope you get past your anger

I can see how your modlog got so full. Are you always like this? How do you get but in the real world?

You do seem to be putting a lot of effort into telling people they don’t know what you’re talking about rather than telling people what you’re talking about

And calling me a liar? I made it clear which part of your comment I was addressing.

You don’t even need plants with feelings. Grain fields carry all the field animals like rabbits and rodents. Those animals flee from cleared land into long grass

So as combine harvesters clear the fields the animals are concentrated into smaller and smaller areas

Harvester operators call the last acre ‘the bloody acre’ due to the number of animals cut up by the harvester blades

You can’t eat without animal deaths unless you go to the extreme of just eating fruit you pick yourself

Also the monoculture fields are destroying the land. We need permaculture solutions and there isn’t a way to do that without animals to fertilize the land

The ban was for a different community. Sunshine saw their comment and went “that person sucks I’ll ban them from my sub[s]”

I don’t think she was a mod where the comment was made

Also she claims she accidentally hit “ban them from everywhere I moderate” instead of “also remove their posts and comments” so maybe the comment would have survived anyway

Crowd sourced moderation squashes small voices, squashes unpopular voices. It’s not a good solution

I think it’s as much of a fix as is possible. If your problem is the owner or admin of the server your best solution is to leave. On reddit that meant leaving reddit. On lemmy it means you have to find another instance

How about revising to “vote for the lesser evil”.
