After being harassed in multiple discord channels by powermod FlyingSquid the news mod blackbeard has shuttered his account and moved to bluesky.

"The recklessness with which people downvote polite disagreements reminds me of all the worst parts of Reddit, and it proves to me that this isn’t the social media savior I’d hoped it would be, and is instead just another echo chamber. I hope eventually lemmy.world (and the fediverse more broadly) can grow out of that, but some of the behavior I’ve seen on the inside from both mods and admins doesn’t really inspire much confidence for that kind of evolution in the short term. "

FlyingSquid is the same mod who has the power to siteban people from lemmy.world

Why does lemmy.world keep having issues with their powermods and admins? Why do powermods get the ability to siteban their enemies from the largest instance?

      I read your entire comment, and I just realized that you’re amazing at word vomit.

      4.5 paragraphs to say “votes don’t matter, except when they do, but I don’t care, except when I do”

      We get it. you’re edgy. Good for you. Votes can be whatever you want them to be. Me? I look at mod logs. Why? That’s where I see the bad shit someone did. You? You’re meh. Not horrible, but not someone I’d have a drink with. More likely someone I’ll forget in 2 minutes.
