Ngl I laughed at this, everyone knows votes are public, but actually calling someone out? Pathetic. But since you're not pulling any punches, I'll tell you why your comment is useless fodder.

This is an endemic problem on Lemmy

This shows you have little experience in internet fora, small or poorly moderated communities are not a lemmy problem but on every corner of the internet. It also shows you are actively missing the point of lemmy, make your own corner, make it interesting and people will come. You don't agree with the admins of a community? Others will too so actually put in the effort yourself. But you don't want that, you want a large platform of your likeminded people. Then use that platform ffs. And meanwhile, slow and steady your niche will have better representation on lemmy as well.

There's no point in trying to build a community with a very hostile environment for anything that doesn't align with the very odd hostile-against-everything-not-OSS zeitgeist.

Curate your feed, you own an instance, use it and defederate from instances you don't like. Don't like any? Then get off lemmy instead of being so petty because you thought lemmy was an exact drop in replacement for reddit. So please, leave the door open on your way out, so people who have actual value to contribute can come in.

Edit: Ofcourse they delete their comment lmao
