I downvoted maybe half a dozen posts. They were all right-wing bullshit and I realized that’s all the user has ever posted so I got out of there. The next day I see more of his junk and go to downvote but can’t because I’m banned.

Sure it was a dick move to poke the bear about his lifestyle of only posting things that get downvoted, but he. Went. OFF!

Accusing me of alts, thinking I’m obsessed with him, message after message… I probably have more in my inbox right now but stitching this image together took long enough.

    Yeah got censored on several occasions for shilling third party as a way to deny the regime legitimacy.

    Some Lemmy’s have short memory and conveniently forget that this used to happen all the time. Now Lemmy is pretty cool with third-party advocacy. But just 8 months ago, it was ban-worthy to say you were pro third-party! lmao

    but you must have made an extra strong impression for them to go around to bully you

    I never backed down. That made them very angry. They even started a fediverse article titled “I’m calling for the Fediverse to Ban Universal Monk.” Someone posted a link to it in this thread. Even in that though, there was nothing that I did that was ban-worthy.

    Seems weird to start an entire post about someone, but ban the subject of the post from being able to reply.

    A lot of Lemmy’s like to say they stand for diversity. But they don’t mean diversity of viewpoints.
