Server Owner Spits Their Dummy Out Over Being Downvoted, Locks Post When People Call Them Out
This unfolded on "United States | News & [email protected]". Owner 'seahorse' showing the kind of person they are.
This is not how you run a server.

Confirmed its real, and now I am blocking that instance. Thanks for the info. There is enough content on lemmy, a few instances can be excluded.
47 5 ReplyI personally think that's a bit much to block an entire instance over when just one admin is being mildly annoying. Their comment is basically nothing imo lol. Compare that to the OP of this post whose profile picture is a cartoon pony from a children's show having an orgasm.
21 6 ReplyIt's almost like a community made of opinionated nerds loves making fake drama and being whiny bitches in general.
8 0 ReplyOh I'll still see those users on different communities, because blocking the instance only stops their threads and communities from showing on my All sorted list

Added a link to the comment in my post. Thanks for reminding me!
13 2 ReplyYeah it’s definitely real, I came across it in my feed before seeing this post. Guy seems like a real arsehole.

So server admins are how we get the Reddit mod experience
40 3 ReplyBut it is.
Lemmy isn't set up to create a set of fairly moderated communities with buy-in from users. It is set up so anyone can be a dictator on their own server.
20 3 ReplyYup. But thankfully, it's also set up so they can quickly become dictators of their own little desert island.
35 0 ReplyUsers can still quickly leave until they found a fair admin
18 0 ReplyA fair admin for now.

That's the beautiful thing about lemmy. If I don't like the current dictator, I can easily switch to a more benevolent leader.

Sorry to hear, I love the Lotr memes community
13 1 ReplyNever too late to make your own. Especially if enough people decide this is worth blocking the instance entirely.
14 2 ReplyThank god we’re doing things on more than world
8 0 ReplyIndeed, but I have enough communities under my belt to be honest 😅

yeah i have my problems with midwest. i think a succinct way to put it is that instance does not appreciate the federation process.

For those who don't know what this means, but want to, you can read https://www.distractify.com/p/what-does-ohio-mean-slang and https://www.distractify.com/p/only-in-ohio-tiktok-meme.
TLDR it's a phrase that people use now similar to "Florida man".

I've never blocked an instance.

What does "spits their dummy out" man in this context? Is it just "says dumb shit"?
5 0 ReplyIt's like a baby throwing a little tantrum, essentially.

..so was this about his take on the Gaza war? That he thought support for Palestine would lead to a loss of democracy?
5 0 ReplyNo they’re saying that’s what people criticizing the protestors are arguing. I think their take is perfectly acceptable but the power tripping is pretty rough
24 1 ReplyYeah, I'd have to look into the context but their edit kinda sours it no matter what.

Yeah, exactly. He's saying that if you vote for Kamala in order to end the genocide in Gaza and prevent Trump from bombing the West Bank, then you're letting the fascists win and democracy is dead. He thinks we should all be apathetic towards Palestine and do nothing as a show of "symbolic" support for Gazans.
