I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It’s not a community I’m super active in so it’s not like devastating, but it is annoying
If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can’t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website
The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol
I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all
IMO this is mainly only a problem because Lemmy is small enough that everyone is browsing all and there’s no realistic natural separation of users. Going private is an extreme solution with high likelihood of it just dying as a result.
This is a significant problem on Reddit as well.
There needed to be resources and admin actions devoted to keeping disagreeing groups separate for the respective health of their communities.
Even then, it is a common practice to outright ban people from some subs if they participated in other subs as participation in one sub likely meant they would be disruptive in the other sub.
And then we all get to live in echo chambers or get banned for ban evasion because we didnt know we were banned. I hate this.
Feel free to create !vegandebate and attract people there to discuss this topic
Discuss echo chambers and bans with vegans? I try to leave you guys alone and don’t post but i do enjoy a lot of your shitposting so i’d rather not get banned.
I’m not even a vegan, just following this drama from afar.
If you enjoy the posts, then keep lurking, just don’t downvote I guess
