I Miss The Old Days

Please elaborate I’m out of the loop
Lemmy is just like every other community that has a narratives it agrees with and if you disagree with it even a little you get brigaded. Tankies in particular in my experience

Hobbyist*
No, they’re the most hobbyest of all the posts!

Wow, piefed is looking better every day
Its fun!

Bring back people getting excited about stuff.
Maybe I'll create a community too, for what I don't know yet

I wish it had a dedicated Mobile app. Or a PWA (Progressive Web-App)

Ah yes Tankies, the liberal version of woke

Sorry I wasn't clear, I mean that some people (I assume) use downvotes just to mean "I don't agree with the thing you said" rather than "this is extremely offensive/cruel/horrifically bigoted/spreading dangerous misinformation" etc - even on something really minor like "I prefer this tv programme to that one" or "I like this foodstuff made in this way".
Some people do use it to mean they don't agree with the thing that was said. Heck, I will down vote certain comments because they are a detriment to the conversation even if they aren't misinformation because they might be derailing or ignoring the context of the conversation.
I also down vote some comments for being unnecessarily rude even if I agree with them.
I just have a low bar for what deserves up and down votes, but there is always a reason. Heck, I just upvoted your comment to counter a down vote.

Fair, I only use Voyager anyway

I used to post regularly in a variety of spaces about things I was interested in.
If you post a single thing that a mod has a problem with, you get instantly banned from the most empty spaces, like WHY? I post a sfw pic to a comm that is loosely associated because there's no more specific place to post and I get insta banned, why why why?
Not even disrespectful or toxic stuff, literally just posts that don't meet all the criteria of the requirements that aren't even fucking listed unless you go to the comm in a web browser.
it's extremely discouraging, and after only after like a year on this space, I'm already thinking about ditching Lemmy.
Edit: idk who replied, but you're blocked, probably after harrasing me.

I don’t know if some of them are just new to being mods or if they’re crusty, clenched long-time mods but yeah I’ve been banned for absolutely the stupidest reasons here.
Moderating isn’t really fun, so you have to have a lot of people who want to do it, and Lemmy’s still finding its people.

you get brigaded
Ah yes, someone is going through the effort of gathering people to downvote you. That makes more sense then it just being individuals disagreeing with you.

If you mean something that could access all of its features, the reason that isn't happening yet is because the back-end API is still very minimal. But they're working on it, and the progress so far is amazing!!

Have you not blocked the negative instances? Most of what I see are positive posts, or news articles.

You're tagged on my client as toxic. You've got a modlog a mile long on different instances, different comms, different mods, much of it for being uncivil, advocating violence, etc etc. I'll venture out on a limb and say you're the common factor here.

is still very minimal.
I wouldn't call it minimal, most of the features are available

I haven’t noticed this. And I browse all. If you’re encountering that much toxicity there may be a common ingredient…
