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 :)

    Well idk it’s a totally wild and completely stupid scenario, but there’s scientific article that looks interesting which pops up on All, then you read it and realise it does not hold up so you downvote. Then you look at the community and see a horrible post saying meat cures cancer and you downvote that and then when you try to comment on another interesting one, you’re banned. Based on a true story.

      Then move on. Seems like that community wouldn’t be a good fit for you anyway, so no loss. Basically you are missing out on reading articles that annoy you. Wear the ban as a badge of honor, not shame.

      I’ve been banned–and I am not even kidding or exaggerating–for “it’s Universal Monk!” Yes, banned because of my fucking reputation. Not because of anything I did in the community, never posted article, commented or even voted. Many communities I’ve never even heard of. But I’ve seen reasons of “UM,” “Troll Universal Monk”, etc.

      And you know what horrible horrible thing I did? I proudly voted third party (socialist) in the election. Which is more accepted now, but a few months ago, I was called a traitor daily. Still called that regularly. lol

      So yeah, some mods and posters are power-hungry babies. But for the most part if they are like that, then you don’t wanna be part of that community anyway.

      I hated Biden (before it was cool to do!). So I stayed out of communities that kissed his ass. I didn’t read articles that kissed is ass. Why would I go to some pro-Biden community if I’m anti-Biden?

      I think Furries are fucking crazy. So I don’t go to Furry communities or get upset if I were somehow banned from one.

      Why would you go to some pro-meat community, if you are anti-meat? You know every article is going to annoy you. You should have blocked it even before you got banned.

      Which is why I’m all for votes being gone entirely. That way none of it matters…because none of it matters. :)
