I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It’s not a community I’m super active in so it’s not like devastating, but it is annoying
If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can’t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website
The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol
I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all
Pretty sure I just got banned from c/vegan because I downvoted “wrong”. Haven’t interacted in any other way, so not sure what else it could be. Also recently got banned from c/imageai for downvoting “too much”? This is a weird trend that seems like a bad path for Lemmy to go down if it’s starting to become the norm.
*Also, what’s up with not being able to block a community you’re banned from? They don’t want you there but you’re forced to view their content? That makes no sense.
I see a lot of comments about a particular vegan community. Sounds like people here need something like c/chillVegans where you don’t get kicked out unless you’re a total menace.
The problem is that people love to needle vegans, so it would just end up as gore.
If the vegans there can’t take a joke, they aren’t very chill. However, being intentionally offensive and rude shouldn’t be tolerated, even if it’s a chill place.

I’d like a setting that automatically hides communities where I can’t participate. If I have to be a member of some club, hit some threshold of something, whatever; I just don’t want to see it, then.

My guess is it’s because there are a bunch of people who hate AI in general, and they want votes to instead reflect which images people like or don’t like for what they are instead of every post having a negative score.
Yep. Banning users who aren’t subscribed to a community and are just downvoting everything that comes up is pretty common and understandable.
The typical modlog entry I see for that is “block the community or curate your feed”, and I think that’s pretty justified. It’s like intentionally showing up somewhere you don’t want to be just to “booooo” everything there. Being asked to leave and not demoralize the people just trying to exist in their own space is perfectly fine, IMO.
Voting on content in the feed is helping to curate it for others. If a community gets more down votes than up votes, maybe the community is the one at odds with people

Wait, really? I’m gonna have to check on that. Curious if that’s an API limitation or a frontend bug. What frontend did you use? Lemmy-UI?
Thanks. I’ll add that to my test cases for the UI I work with. I don’t think I’ve ever tried to block a community the test user was banned from, so I’m curious if it’s an API restriction or the way the UI handles it. Will prob also submit a bug once I figure out which.
Edit: That looks like the community options that have the “block community” button are all hidden when you’re banned rather than the “block” functionality being restricted. I’m almost positive now that it’s just a UI bug. Will still add it to my test cases, though.
I just checked and using the default Lemmy UI (on desktop) you totally can block communities you’re banned from. I’m pretty sure what we’re looking at must be some kind of UI/front end bug.
