If you don't want EVERYONE to participate in your community, then you should really make it private.

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
You're viewing a single thread.
I’ve never come across a friendly vegan community. I’m not exactly looking for one but the ones that make themselves known tend to have extreme takes. There’s nothing wrong being vegan but their online community sure feels they’re going about it the wrong way, being overly dismissive and defensive rather than open and helpful.
You are now banned from c/vegan
It can depend on how one interacts with the community as those who are open-minded are often welcomed and taught the ethical ways of doing things.
lol. “If you agree with us, you can stay.”
That's why we have the vegan community for vegans and open-minded meat eaters.
As long as the carnitas keep their dirty, meaty mouths shut, right?
People with speciesist tendencies are not allowed on the community however if they have an open mind sure!
So why have a community on a federated instance? Why ban people for passive participation?
People need to learn about the vegan subculture. Why should a community shut itself down because others cant handle different ideas.
You're the one shutting out others, champ.
Anyone banned commenting carnist rhetoric can still view the posts and comments while they bid their time during their well deserved timeout.
Bullshit. I've never once commented in your community, but you banned me today, probably for downvoting the obnoxious, self-righteous memes that your sub periodically dumps in my feed. And surprise, surprise, now that you've banned this, "carnist rhetoric," your downvote percentages don't look so bad! You went from only getting 40% to 70% upvotes on posts to 80% to 90% in the last 8 hours. You're not giving people a, "well deserved time out," you're gaming the numbers to manufacturing consent.
The worst part is I actually defended you guys during the catfood debacle, saying that no matter what you thought of the content, the admins were way out of line to override your moderating decisions. If I'd known you were going to be as petty and manipulative as they were, I would have kept my mouth shut. On the bright side, your naked attempt to make your community look less unpopular is the best argument I've seen for anonymizing voting on Lemmy.
You banned me from c/vegan for a well written post that I made in good faith. You didn't send me a message, so I can only assume that you banned me for no other reason than you wanting your community to be an echo chamber.
Many of us came to Lemmy to get away from self interested power mods like you. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
