I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It’s not a community I’m super active in so it’s not like devastating, but it is annoying

If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can’t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website

The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all

    If people do not want to engage with c/vegan in good faith or follow the rules then it’s best to move on.

      Did you just ban me from the community because I downvoted one of your comments?

      All I ever did in the community was downvote you and now I can’t post or vote there 😂

      This has been reported. I may not agree with all they say, but I do agree on following the rules. This is why I don’t engage with the vegan community.

        I appreciate that approach however if the Lemmy World admins want to use heavy handed tactics on a misunderstood minority community protecting their users once again the whole fediverse will be watching and will have further documented evidence of admin misconduct. c/vegan believes in the protection of animal and human rights.

          on a misunderstood minority community

          You’re just really vocal about your diet, you’re not a protected minority nor should you be lmao. Trying to equate yourself with being black, LGBT or having some other inherent, immutable property that leads to people getting murdered, raped, beaten, abused, fired, jailed, tortured, sold into slavery or many other things throughout the world, is kinda fucking offensive.

      If you can’t handle good faith arguments then you should get off of your soapbox.

      Indeed. That community is not breaking any instance rule, why are people so obsessed with it

        I have no obsession with the community. It just draws attention when people start getting bans for “rule violations” they didn’t commit.

            I agree.

            If they want the rule to be “No downvoting Beaver” then they should make the rule “No downvoting Beaver” and stop banning people for Rule 5 violations they didn’t commit.

        Because it’s obnoxious.

        And while it may not break rules, it goes against the spirit of online forums and discussion to ban people and prevent discussion just because they respectfully disagree with you.

        Also, Lemmy has an issue if a post can gain traction because mods just block anyone who downvotes, preventing them from voting on further posts.

          This wave of banning is quite strong, let’s be honest.

          But I’ve seen trans communities banning people who “respectfully disagreed with them” while pushing anti-trans agenda.

          Also, Lemmy has an issue if a post can gain traction because mods just block anyone who downvotes, preventing them from voting on further posts.

          This would also require upvotes from other people, which I don’t think they are getting so far

        Veganism in general goes against what the average person was taught when they were growing up. As people mistakenly believe that by going vegan they’re giving up delicious foods and a happy life.

          Vote score on this comment really proving the point that this type of moderation is necessary. If you don’t want a community in your feed block it, it is not everyone else’s responsibility to cater to the hivemind.
