Banning people for downvoting posts seems like an overstep of position

Seems like beaver went crazy and jerkface did too. I dont know about you.

I mean the fact that the 3 of you have a particularly similar aggressive nature and after leaving 1 post all came here to keep up the exact same kind of bitchiness is not helping your argument.

Beaver started banning people for downvoting posts. A fellow mod reached out to Beaver to say that had not been the policy and if they wanted that to be the policy going forward the mods would need to discuss it. Beaver then ignored the request to discuss the new policy that Beaver arbitrarily decided on. The issue here seems to be Beaver, period.

This whole thing keeps delivering

Are vegans vegan? Watching mods eat each other brings up weird questions for me.

All they did was kick a bunch of mods that were harming a community and trying to create drama without even having the balls to discuss openly the reasons they were banning people. The comments about how a moderator that was there for 3 months should have more power than a moderator that had been there for 11 days (despite one of them not having the wellbeing of the community as a priority) is an amazing joke. https://lemmy.world/post/19731457 everyone should read this post and they will quickly understand after reading op and the comments from people like jerkface why this happened. Posting a modlog without context or explanation is acting in pretty bad faith here.

Also, as a community (lemmy as a whole) we should think if we want to keep people like Beaver who moderates 100+ communities, there are a lot of people moderating way more than they can chew and becoming really stupid, as also seen recently with the bot drama in news on lemmy world. We really love to be repeating reddits problems.

Hi vegans! I'm not really inclined to go anywhere near c/vegan while you're working all this stuff out so while you're here let me just take this opportunity to say I admire your diet and stuff. Glad you're around, hope it goes well.

Crazy how much juicy drama that community has been providing. The rest need to step up or this place will just be about vegans.

Okay now I’m just getting ready to block Beaver, thejerkface and Thelemmybud because they just keep spamming this all over the place. I don’t know if their intention is to try to drum up support but it should be obvious to them from the number of downvotes they keep getting that their crocodile tears aren’t working.

This is simultaneously the most hilarious and least consequential meltdown on the internet this year.

Even though it's scientifically unsupportable, I'm still genuinely interested in what it's like to live on Vega.

They grow up so fast.

Poor Jerkface. He's funny. He threatened to block all of my accounts but didn't. I like him. He makes me laugh.

Vegan coup

The Lemmy/Reddit moderator structure is a failure. Communities should have democratic governance.

On this specific issue I think everyone involved needs to take a deep breath, step away from the issue for like 24 hours, and talk to each other respectfully to work out how this should be resolved. But that is just my opinion.
