Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)

# Rules
1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

What does this even mean? Should we not ban people who are disturbing and rude?
Answer the question.
They get a chance to be? 196 banned me from their Matrix channel just for being a straight person. I didn’t even have a discussion with them. It was “oh, you’re not trans? Bye!”, instantly.
“Oh, we already banned him… huh… fuck, is he right?!”
I was banned from their lemmy instance for criticizing blahaj about a month ago, I never even had a back and forth with a user on their instance. Some admin said “seeya never, then!” and banned me indirectly from a comment on another instance.
Gonna need a big [citation needed] on that one.
I’m on the 196 matrix and straight, never had any issue
Congratulations
Why would someone banned for transphobia lie about queer people hating him? Curious.
