Everyone I have something very important to say about The Agora.
The Problem
Let me be super clear here to something people don’t seem to understand about lemmy and the fediverse. Votes mean absolutely nothing. No less than nothing.
In the fediverse, anyone can open a instance, create as many users as they want and one person can easily vote 10,000 times. I’m serious. This is not hard to do.
Voting at best is a guide to what is entertaining.
As soon as you allow a incentive the vast majority of votes will be fake. They might already be mostly fake.
If you try to make any decision using votes as a guide someone WILL manipulate votes to control YOU.
one solution (think of others too!)
A counsel of trusted users.
The admin, top mods may set up a group to decide on who to ban and what instances to defederate from. You will not get it right 100% of the time but you also won’t be controlled by one guy in his basement, running 4 instances and 1,000 alts.
Now i’m gonna go back to shit posting.
Do you understand the rules?
I don’t care about the conversation, I saw your report and investigated. If you don’t want moderator attention then don’t click the report button.

He’s not my counterpart and this isn’t an argument or discussion. I’m giving you a warning that you’re breaking the rules.
You’re not trying to have a discussion you’re trying to pick a fight and it’s at the point where you’re resorting to personal attacks both in this thread and in your report. So either continue to have a conversation without name calling or stop talking.
Your report was inappropriate, and your comments that I’ve responded to are inappropriate. Just stop.

This is the community for serious discussion. If you can’t handle communicating without personal attacks then maybe this isn’t the place for you.
The ban is temporary, you’re welcome to come back next week as long as you can handle a conversation without personal attacks.
