And the thread in question:

https://lemmy.world/post/11713611

So we need to have a long and serious talk about the authoritarian chucklefucks you all are allowing to dominate your platform, for this is an example of this flagrant bullshit someone else DMed me recommending I go to admins about, but we all know the admins are a group of Good Ole Boys who will do nothing but protect the mod. 🀦

So why is everyone putting up with this? Did we not leave Reddit to get away from power tripping scumbags? Do people not want a community ruled by the consent of its people? People were flagging shit based on bad faith arguing which last I checked falls under that sub's first rule.

Oh, but telling a mod "no" is unacceptable. 🀦

We all need to come together and create an actual democratic platform because this is blatant authoritarianism and is not acceptable.

Oh, icing on the cake:

Just gonna lock this post for now, don't want to start some kind of fight in a community that is not meant for stuff like that.

If anyone has anything to add to this, you can contact me or mail us at [email protected]. Thank you.

Maybe you should've waited to see this democracy of yours in action and you'd see there are currently 16 downvotes vs 5 upvotes on those comments.

Hahaha OP is such a salty lil' loser.

This is fucking hillarious, and they even called the admins to come delete the mod.

Fuck thanks for the laugh mate.

Hey OP, how come all your posts get upvoted in large ~5 minute intervals all by the same few accounts? Sure looks like someone is logging into multiple other accounts to upvote themselves because they're getting ratio'd so hard.

And I just checked a few of those accounts, the four I looked at all stopped posting exactly 5 months ago.πŸ€”

You're mad that someone made a joke on a shitpost and didn't understand it was a joke, and Flying Squid didn't take action against them.

Jesus Christ.

No, I was mad a mod is allowed to threaten to ban other users for opposing him, but an admin at least claims he talked to him. Who knows if the admin actually did, though.

Why did you post this in BestOfLemmy?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Because I wanted it to be known a mod was acting like this and to force the admins to come out and do something about it. It seems to have worked.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Yea... though please don't do that again. I will not remove this post (the local mods might) because it got so much traction, but next time I will.

I swear people who whine about how bad this platform are is the one that created the most drama.

Good luck to my sea animal friend for dealing with this sort of thing o7

What is o7 I thought it was a typo but I keep seeing it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

It’s a salute.

Well, username checks out, at least.

You really should not try to roast people when you are SO BAD AT IT.

I thought crabs are boiled. Also I wasn't trying to insult him.
