Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.

I haven’t used lemmy up until this point. They pose as a general purpose instance and are the 2nd largest lemmy instance at that. I knew the lemmy devs had their preferences but I didn’t know they would let it effect their moderating so strongly.
Yeah they could definitely be a bit more upfront about it. Pity the poor “libertarians” who wander in from time to time thinking FOSS=free speech absolutism
It happens to everyone and is probably going to be the downfall of lemmy
hilarious thing is that they think banning a user is a win. Yeah you guys sure dunked on that random guy by banning him
It will definetly hinder its growth. I hope the ml instance just gets mostly irrelevant when instances that allow for more free speech can grow accordingly. They might create a stronger cesspool of likemineded tankies but it hurts the overall platform
Well, it’s the best they can do. They’d prefer to ding your social credit and throw you in a Gulag to work it off
