Names blurred to protect the innocent / crazy. Not trying to call anyone out, just thought the response was hilarious and highly disproportionate. Like, they distinguished that comment (green border/background).
For reference, the comment I presume that was downvoted that apparently triggered that response was to the tune of “BoTH SiDEz!!!” with some hyper generalizing / stereotyping on the side.
You can search for the text if you want (which should find it for you), but I’m not here to out anyone. I just thought the crazy-ass response was hilarious and worthy of a post here.
Not sure their reaction deserves such derogatory terms.
I post in a few non-English communities. There was a time when posts would instantly get downvoted, most probably because people didn’t speak the language and did not know how to configure it in their settings. As a consequence, the content would usually get buried, when not completely vanish from the feeds (there was a bug at the time that wouldn’t show any post with 0 votes)
I can imagine what it would feel like if I were to have “controversial” stances, and where people would systematically downvote by content. That’s borderline harassment, and can frustrate quite fast.
As I said in another comment: if you don’t like a community, block it and move on. As long as content is not illegal or breaks any regulations, just let the people be. What is the point of purposely go to a community you have nothing to do with just to downvote stuff?
I can understand the reaction of the OP here.
On top of that, as Lemmy is so small that they got instantly identified, that makes things even worse.
:sigh: So i’ll just put all the cards on the table here.
I was subscribed to the community, so it wasn’t a drive-by downvote.
I’m pretty positive (99.9999999% sure) language barrier was not the issue. What was stated in the comment was very clear, ignorant, and broadly stereotyping (not to mention offensive).
I didn’t even downvote the post. I downvoted the ignorant, broadly stereotyping, offensive comment by the OOP.
I didn’t even reply to the offensive comment because I don’t have time, energy, or enough fucks to give for such an ignorant take.
OOP decides to put anyone who downvoted them on blast.
OOP of that (which I am still tactful enough to keep anonymous), has DM’d me twice and insulted me.
OOP deletes the whole post and pops in here to play the victim. But that’s on me for letting them get away with that. I was trying to be tactful and not call anyone out when I should have taken screenshots of the whole thing.
The real Fedidrama was the drama we made along the way 😂
Thank you for your comment.
I would just suggest refraining from using words such as “crazy” or “crazy-ass”.
The admin could be power tripping, but their actions would speak for themselves, no need to add this kind of terms.
I tried to resolve this politely with you but you instead ignored my message while causing more drama creating comments like this. Therefore I will not engage with you or your instance any further for your display of immaturity as I will be blocking both.
You need to listen to people in the global south who are making valid criticisms of the United States which has used violent imperialism to get its way like how they did with Cuba, Guatemala, Iraq and Palestine.
How do you search text across instances

I’m with you on this one, sorry for what happened, seems very harsh indeed.
