In this instance there were 6 downvotes to 83 upvotes for over 93% positive rate in 3 days on an announcement community for an instance. If 6 is mass downvotes, then I suspect your are looking for any excuse to justify toxic moderation.
Anyone banning for downvoting is incredibly petty or thin skinned, just my observation. If it wasn’t for the instance shutting down, it would have made a good post on yptb. Reading other comment threads on this post support the thin skinned theory imho. I just happened to be browsing all when I found the post. Looking at my subs, I wasn’t subscribed to any community there.
I won’t forget the mods of the star trek subreddit banning people for just criticizing Disco and Picard not for being woke or whatever other conservative dog whistles at the time, but for legitimate reasons. That’s the behavior I avoid. I don’t need a mod to protect me from differing opinions. It’s the internet ffs. Then there was the crusade against all the “_trek” subreddits. Claiming harassment to get Reddit to shut them down so that no one with differing opinions about the shows could have a community was absolutely inexcusable. That’s why I avoid your instance like the plague.
It’s also the best part of Lemmy and fediverse on the whole and what we agree on. No one person can control everything.
Yeah, that’s fair. I only see the interaction put in front of me, what’s been posted, and anything I might catch in certain matrix channels. The only known interaction I had with PTZ directly was a ban and him giving me the finger.
Better phrasing would be “this experiment within the fediverse”. His phrasing still comes across as the fediverse (as an experiment) being a failure to me. I’ve not seen fediverse used as an adjective before.
It’s the same reason I’m not on .ml and your instance (I saw how they ran things over on reddit) and try to limit interactions on the instances that are notorious for their heavy handed moderation. He can do whatever he wants, but so can I within the limits of the sh.itjust.works instance or even spinning up my own. That’s the reason I think he got butthurt. He got called out for how he ran things in front of the fediverse, didn’t like it, got mad, took his ball and went home and likely banned me and 5 other guys for his bad phrasing at best or his opinion at worst. He’s free to do that and I believe that the fedivdrse is better for it.
This fediverse experiment was a failure.
The whole notion that the fediverse is a failure. Ptz is entitled to his opinion, but he couldn’t be serious that everyone would hold that inflammatory opinion as well. I still stand by my opinion that the fediverse is better off without toxic admins like this.
The post was fine, the premise is wrong about the fediverse. That’s why I downvoted and didn’t interact further.
Yeah, not so nice for just downvoting a post of his though. Fediverse is better off without that kind of toxic behaviour.
Mozilla is an ad company now. It happened when they picked up anonym last year. It’s why I use iron fox and librewolf that disable the telemetry by default among other things until ladybird gets closer to ready. Not to mention Mozilla forcing their ToS now to use the base browser on new installs and soon™ for existing users.
Mozilla is prepping for how to replace their income from the Google default search deal. I’m 99% sure it’ll get blown up when the dust settles in the anti-trust case. It’s why they ended a bunch of projects that won’t make any money and branched into a bunch of weird (for them) markets like AI hoping to make money. The only proven to make money thing they are doing so far is ads.
Leaving one ad powered company for another isn’t what I want to do. Fool me once…
7 was the last good iteration of windows imho being that it wasn’t loaded up with a bunch of telemetry being sent to Microsoft like 10 and 11 and didn’t have the terrible UI stuff like 8 and 11.
2000 was marketed as business and server only, like NT before it. On the IT side of things, 2000 was rock solid.
Censorship of words makes me not know which definition of regarded you are using.
I’m still leery after coming over from a TrueNAS app deployment of NC that crashed and I was never able to get back running. Docker AIO has been good so far, but NC is the reason I validate backups.
