Everything I downvoted was because I genuinely do not think it’s good. Like meat is not going to cure cancer.

I actually really like eating meat I just try to life a life that gives others room to enjoy this earth too without mutually destroying it.

Please tell me how I am the asshole :)

    If I made a mistake and you want to participate in the community productively I’ll unban someone who asks and gives their word to maintain polite discourse.

      Fuck your disingenuous call for civility, you don’t give a shit about productive discourse you’re just pushing a meat industry agenda

        I’m not implying it - I’m saying it explicitly - 100% downvotes are negative. They are a signal that the content is bad for lemmy. They have a real chilling effect on people participating in smaller communities.

      Your communities are terrible and burning them to the ground would be productive.

          The bot doesn’t read intent, it just bans anyone who doesn’t agree with your misinformation.

            I’m using a heuristic to approximate if a user will be a positive community member.

            I’m sure there is room for improvement

            You have demonstrated you would not be a good fit for the community.

            Right now I don’t see a problem with the heuristics

              Anyone who disagrees with you isn’t a good fit. That’s why almost all of the comments are you replying to your own posts.

                Actually I welcome disagreement. I love a good debate. It’s good for the community to have threads with lots of comments, and that usually only happens when people disagree

                I’m about building a community. Which means growing participation. If every post in the community gets dog piled immediately then it discourages other people from genuinely participating.

                I see moderating as a form of gardening, you have to cultivate the garden you want, weed it, nurture it.
