By doing this, they’ve also ironically managed to disprove their own point of supposedly only enforcing the rules. Bit of a shame, as the idea of the community seemed nice, but I thought the mod was really out of line there.
Oh well, you better believe I’ll be back downvoting in 74 years!
Subscriptions don’t always federate fast or correctly. (You can find many people with the same issue here) For many communities it still shows “Subscribe pending” for me, despite getting the content in my subscribe feed. No, I hadn’t participated yet - the community is barely 2 weeks old.
If you’re saying you weren’t part of the brigade but just so happened to subscribe—but it did not federate—and downvote at an inopportune time, while a brigade was ongoing, that might be possible. I’m skeptical, but it’s possible.
However, your immediate recourse was to create this thread instead of DM and iron out a potential misunderstanding.
That’s really unfortunate.
As I wrote on another comment, you didn’t DM me either, but permabanned me over 2 votes. Your ban message “Don’t want you in the community” also didn’t give any indication that you assumed I was part of a coordinated brigading attack. Instead, it very much read to me like you were just annoyed at having been downvoted.
Well, I probably could have given a more detailed reason. I will own that.
I will also unban you because you seem genuine and not malicious.
lol who cares? ban everyone at this point.
