Comment on Yet another community about Mod Abuses and Power Trips
spankmonkey@lemmy.world 12 hours agoYeah, he was the reason I dug in my heels against the stupid ‘if you don’t like it then ignore it’ bullshit which is fine for music and sports but down voting misinformation is one of the main purposes of the down vote!

Exactly!
Some of the shit getting posted deserves to be downvoted. It’s a feature here for visibility purposes. Pretending it doesn’t exist and banning people that use is just so asinine.
Don’t want downvotes? Go to YouTube and get coddled by the corpos.

Yeah, but one time there was an actual user who did use bots to mass downvote with obviously randomly named bots so that means any time something gets down votes it is brigading and vote manipulation!
Small AI communities nobody wants getting four down votes is comparable to LGBTQ+ communities getting dozens or hundreds of downvotes from actual brigading!
If you don’t like it ignore it, and also I’m going to follow anyone who doesn’t like my slop around and harass them!
Did I forget anything?

Yeah I block communities I have no interest in participating with.
People also need to remember it’s just number. Magical internet points as they say.
LGBTQ+ should be protected because they are actively being targeted for death threats and persecution. I wouldn’t equate that to some Ai posts getting a few downvotes because the general consensus of Ai is it outputs Slop.
Using bots to downvote is absolutely pathetic but you can’t be online expecting literally every person to agree with you or let alone read every community’s rules before scrolling and voting.
