I like how you immediately assumed I'm a hypocrite, as if I'm one of those people who set up down vote bots. I barely even engage with the political side of lemmy.

The reality of how votes are used in some parts of the threadiverse, is not an excuse to be one of the people using them in a way they shouldn't be.

And refusing to curate your own feed is part of your problem. You want the entirety of lemmy to be the way you want it to be, instead of finding the parts of it that are for you.

See, you even said it yourself "that's up to the admins" you're admitting it. That's how pompuss some of you admins are. And that's fucking sad. For you, not me.

How is choosing what content you host pompous? When I run communities or game servers, and encounter users I don't want to interact with or enable, I don't owe them a platform or a good time. I remove them. End of discussion.

I control what my labor goes towards, and I will not have it be a stepping stone for things I don't approve of. If someone needs a soapbox, they need to use one which doesn't mind being stood on. If they can't find one, or if they bring their own and people still walk by instead of stopping to listen, they need to reconsider if their method of communication is effective.

Generally, calling people pathetic or telling them they'd get their asses handed to them, isn't how you get a point across.

Practice what you preach then, and do the same. Lead by example.

I already do? Again, how is this a comeback? Continue your insistence on being rude, and you will simply become yet another entry in my blocklist.
