I checked and no bots, seems to be general Epic hate. Gonna block those people anyway, nothing of value will be lost. Here they are, if you wish to ban people who downvote free games in a free game community:
FWIW - definitely general Epic hate. Their security and business practices are sketchy enough that I don’t think they deserve the visibility. That’s just my option which I’d like to be able to express by voting. Thankfully, I’m not the only one who votes and you could allow the votes to shake out naturally. I’m sure there are plenty of folks who can counter my silly reasons with silly reasons of their own!
Firstly, thanks for the actual thought-out response, I much prefer an actual discussion to just speculating whether or not you were a bot!
Ultimately I don’t think I’d have even created this community if it wasn’t for Epic, their weekly giveaways seem to have kicked off a trend which seems to be a win for us consumers; bad people can do good things for bad reasons. I’ve never even added any payment details for their store and my account is full of freebies! I’ve chosen my battles and I’m not going to spite myself just to stick it to the megacorp.
Bottom line: you do what you want but I’m not going to stop posting Epic Games giveaways here, you might be happier just filtering out posts containing the string
Epicso you never have to think about the bastards!I’d never expect you to stop posting! Honestly, filtering is a great thought. I’ll do that and I appreciate it, thank you.
You’re welcome! Annoyingly I don’t think specific filtering is built in to Lemmy, but quite a few clients seem to offer it.
Oh interesting, as an instance admin can you see who’s upvoting and downvoting then?
I’m not going to ban anyone, you can upvote and downvote whatever you want even if it’s stupid, I just wanted to know their reasoning and if they knew they could just block/hide this community if they didn’t like it. I don’t know if it would matter anyway as none of those accounts have posted anything for months.
I have access to my instance’s database, so I can extract the information from there.
Doxxing people and banning them for having a different opinion 👏👏👏
Please consider DMs next time, there is no reason to pillory them.
No one was banned, it’s not my community to manage. I don’t believe this could be considered doxxing.
There’s also no reason to downvote content that perfectly fits the community. Perhaps them and me are unreasonable? Or, more likely, all of us have some reasons for our actions.
This is not a matter of opinion, there’s nothing to have opinion about. To cite the community sidebar:
There’s nothing to disagree with in my post, my post is not an opinion.
What is an opinion is my suggestion to ban them. As you can see, the mod disagreed and didn’t do it. And that was it. That’s what an exchange of opinions looks like. If you disagree with facts (and I mean true objective facts, not my opinions), I have no problem with calling you out publicly. Hopefully I explained it enough.
Alright seems like I misinterpreted the following statement from your original comment.
I still don’t think one should expose them for downvoting and given Lemmy’s design I’d consider this abuse of the access rights of an admin as most users do not expect their votes to be public. The downvoters may have their reason to downvote and it is up to them to (or not to) explain themselves.
Also, like I said, you could have communicated this with the community mod over a non-public medium.
I get it but I wholeheartedly disagree with your point of view.
Well, thanks for saying so. Didn’t think I’d be called out like that for voting a particular way.
