Server Owner Spits Their Dummy Out Over Being Downvoted, Locks Post When People Call Them Out
This unfolded on "United States | News & Politics@midwest.social". Owner 'seahorse' showing the kind of person they are.
This is not how you run a server.
Edit: link to comment:
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.
Added a link to the comment in my post. Thanks for reminding me!
Yeah it’s definitely real, I came across it in my feed before seeing this post. Guy seems like a real arsehole.
Welp, just in case I just made !theonion@sh.itjust.works
o7
But 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.
Yup. But thankfully, it's also set up so they can quickly become dictators of their own little desert island.
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
Never too late to make your own. Especially if enough people decide this is worth blocking the instance entirely.
yeah i have my problems with midwest. i think a succinct way to put it is that instance does not appreciate the federation process.
"Can't even downvote in Ohio"
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.
If I block an instance, that blocks all users too, right?
Nope
So how do i block an instance?
Settings, last tab iirc
What does "spits their dummy out" man in this context? Is it just "says dumb shit"?
It'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?
No 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
Yeah, I'd have to look into the context but their edit kinda sours it no matter what.
Damn it. Don’t wanna lose our !theonion@midwest.social community
Well, if we do...
