Ahem, brother.
Here’s the offensive “bro” speak. What a loser.
I feel like it’s fair to ask someone not to call you bro, but it’s fucked to threaten banning them over a downvote.
It’s fair to ask anything, also fair for me to think you’re a bit thick if that’s the kinda things you think about.
What a cunt aye. At least you know who to block now, no need for that sort of childish treatment 👍
I feel like was pretty obvious that “Bro.” here was used as an interjection, rather than calling atomicpoet a “bro”.
Ok what do you want then? “Bitch”?
Darth balls, snoochie boochies
Yes daddy
I was extremely tempted to go to the user’s profile and downvote a bunch of stuff at random.
I decided that was childish and inflammatory and changed my mind, although I do still think it would be a little bit funny. I also did find the mod’s original comment, and discovered you can still downvote comments which have been deleted out of cowardice. It’s now at -31 votes so presumably some other people had the same idea.
OP edited his comment to show what it said lol.
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen that user name doing some stupid basement dwelling shit.
The need to touch grass.
What are the maga instances ur referring to?
Lmao at the Antifa community dominating the front page
rent free, ironically
You should link it like this: !maga.place
Edit: Nevermind, that doesn’t work. Maybe that’s a Lemmy only thing.
That only works for communities.
Ah, you’re right. I think this is for instances:
It doesn’t work for me (400 error), but it might be defederated?
@ is for users, ! is for communities
I don’t think there is a way to view an entire instance from another one. I may be wrong but I haven’t been able to figure it out in 2 years.
It depends on your app. With Mlem if you navigate to a user or community you can then view the instance.
LOL, I don’t think the admin is getting the content they expected there :D
The fascists will always use available technology to create their own safe spaces. They’re cowards.
However, we can and should do everything we can to make that experience as miserable and unusable as possible for them.
Admins should only be looking at who downvotes posts when there is some sort of history of vote-abuse happening. Somebody voicing their opinion with their votes is a perfectly valid use of the upvote/downvote system.
PTB
Well, thats like your opinion /s
You forgot to put bro at the end mannnn
Exactly. You can’t spam upvites, because the problem with spam is that it buries and dilutes actual, useful, quality content. A user “spamming” upvoting or downvoting isn’t really actionable spam - his up/downvote isn’t drowning out the others.
The problem is brigading - when multiple people start mass up/downvoting and water down other votes.
Same goes for spaming votes with multiole accounts.
Communities and the volunteer mod system are the same, so that should hardly be surprising. If it gets really crazy, like this, I recommend moving to a new community of your own accord.
Not at all. Reddit is popular.
Aww yeah, that’s the sort of sass I’m here for
It’s a troll…
Piefield.social sprung up overnight, and when I tried to comment on a post I realized I had been instance banned almost as soon as the instance was created.
It’s also super hard to see stuff in their modlog, or even who their admins are, let alone how many actual use it.
So that message is most like one of their admins. Another thing they seem to do to troll is just reply “disengage” to random people and if a reply happens after that it’s called stalking.
I legitimately can’t tell if it’s intentional trolling as a joke, or if they’re serious and that crazy. It doesn’t really matter though…
Just block the whole instance, you’re literally missing nothing.

That’s funny, someone was telling me about how Lemmy’s moderation system is super authoritarian and opaque recently, in a conversation about the merits of Piefed.
That’s using their own interface?
You’re lucky
I got banned with no warning or even indication what post was offensive (I was not being anything-phobic or inciting violence)
But that was lemmy.ml so I should have known
The .ml is a warning and indication of bullshit to come.
Did you say NATO is a defence alliance?
You can get banned from the .ml for asking a wrong question. I wouldn’t bother with that instance, just move on. A bit sad though that a lot of interesting and popular communities are hosted on ml
Badge of honor getting banned from .ml
And dbzer0
hell, i didn’t even get approved to go to dbzer0. I applied and they outright rejected me. No explanation why.
I’m entirely unsurprised that that’s on Piefed.
What a snowflake.
Bro, you’re Lemmy client has a lot of negative space.
Just like my brain. In many ways.
How is “bro” toxic…? I can see how someone who isn’t a dude objecting to being called one, but that’s not an issue with the word itself
Even ‘dude’ is shifting towards gender neutral.
As with all of these kinds of discussions, context is key. Getting offended at the mere sight of the word ‘bro’? Go suck a dick. Using ‘bro’ spitefully to misgender someone? Also go suck a dick.
I’ve considered dude gender neutral since 2010-ish, it’s just a “hello person I don’t feel like specifying for”
IMO women can be dudes and bros too. Dudehood and brodom are a state of mind.
Is this an age and location thing? Because I’m a millennial and Californian as heck and use “bro” “dude” “man” to everybody lol
I think maybe assuming gender? But it’s such a stretch that you should probably get a tube of bendgay to put on it.
As a woman who works with men, “bro” and “man” (thanks, man) seem to signify comradarie that I don’t receive. It’s not a big enough deal to bring up in the workplace, but I associate it with feeling left out and it makes me sad sometimes. Since you asked.
I hope you feel better, Bro.
If it makes you feel any better, I don’t think those words used in those context are gender specific, that is to say I would totally say “thanks, man” to a woman without batting an eye, and I assume people who use bro would do the same. I know feelings are extremely personal, and if it makes you feel bad it’s unlikely to change because some random person online said something, but in my head “thanks, man” is just a construct used to imply comradrie, it has nothing to do with the gender of the word, just like how “see you later, alligator” doesn’t exclude human beings.
Those are usually used in a more friendly, casual setting. I would be abit more concerned about using such language at the workplace especially towards other female coworker or the higher up managers, compared to say a colleague you work with and see everyday lest you get written up by HR again for, “inappropriate behaviours”.
It does seem a little condescending in this context. I have known one or two people who don’t “bro” in normal conversation, but once it’s an argument they say it in every retort. It can feel slightly toxic when used this way.
Not as toxic as stalking downvoters though
Bro wtf.
That’s crazy bro
Don’t tase me, bro!
Bro…

We are not related.
Might want to check with your mom on that one.
LUKE!
Bruh
Just block and move on, I think 🤷 If they ban you, so what? I doubt any single instance forms a huge percentage of your experience here, and that goes double for some knob’s shite little personal instance. Put another way, that kind of moderation is never going to grow a large community; maybe they want it that way, but it does mean they’ll stay irrelevant to the majority of users. And the reasonable ones that person bans will make their own instance; the instance with the most reasonable moderation will end up with the most users.
At least, this is how I’ve been using it. Just firehose the lot at first and filter down the noise over time. My block list is long, communities and users. Hell, I’ll block a whole community if I see the admin or a mod being a dick. I feel this has only improved my experience.
Wait, what have you blocked and why so many? I usually block just foreign-language communities.
There’s always more hentai to block
Lots of botted communities too. I’d rather posts come from real people and my “All” feed not get flooded.
I’m worried because they’re the same instance as me. If I somehow gets the evil eye from them and get banned, does that mean I’m just banned from that comm or instance? I think atomicpoet isn’t a piefed.social instance admin (too lazy to check)
No not from the instance. I think that would take @rimu@piefed.social or an admin. Worst that bro can do is ban you from that community.
And to be honest this the first real controversy of piefed. So congrats! Its a real platform now!
OK that tracks with my understanding.
And yeah a real platform has to have controversy!1
No, that user is just a jackass. There are a fair number of jackass mods and admins across instances, but far fewer than I was expecting.
DMing me about downvoting your posts is a good way to get me to downvote you upon simply seeing your username. And bans don’t stop people seeing and downvoting your posts. Just posting and commenting in your comms.
And bans don’t stop people seeing and downvoting your posts.
Pretty sure bans block voting.
That’s true.
Source: I’m banned from blahaj instance.
Well that’s not an endorsement of you as a person.
iirc blahaj has downvotes disabled
Downvotes are only blocked on that instance to user accounts created from it. Accounts from other instances can still see the downvotes (and vote).
Plenty of snowflake mods only post in their communities.
