I’m not a troll, I just call other people out for their BS.
I think most of lemmy.today is bad faith astroturfing.
This is not the first time !PapaSkwat@lemmy.today has preemptively banned me from a community I’m pretty sure I’ve never interacted with.
This is a warning for others. Do not assume posts on Lemmy.today are real or in good faith.
Here is a related post with similar circumstances.
Ptb, but good they seem open to discuss. Better than just shutting the door on you. Could have been worse
To be clear, OP did DM me but I noticed if right after I posted an article to the FuckCars community, so I totally misunderstood what he was talking about. I mistakenly thought he was talking about that post, because I wasn’t aware of this current post. I am always open to discuss stuff.
Out of curiosity, which fuckcars post did you think i was talking about?
https://lemmy.today/post/58772407 36-year old woman and unborn baby killed riding ebike on Pershing Drive in Playa del Rey, where bike lanes removed in 2017
I posted that then I noticed your DM. I didn’t check the timestamp of the DM. I posted that item, noticed I had DM, and responded. I thought it was so strange that you were talking about trolling and banning and stuff for an ebike news item. So I thought maybe you lived in the area and knew more about it. lolol Then I noticed your post here, and it all made sense.
That story is tragic.
Now, why is it that you thought you had banned me from that community? Do you have an alt or sock puppet account with mod privileges there?
No. That’s why I was confused and told you to contact the moderators of that community instead of me. I thought you were referring to that post in that community, and I had no idea why you were bringign up me banning you. I have nothing to do with that community other than the fact that I post there.
Why would I create a sock puppet over a story about a woman being hit by a car after a city removed bike lanes, that is posted to an anti-car community? Why would I even create a sock puppet account for a anti-car community? That doesn’t make any sense.
Open to discuss a preemptive ban?
Sure I guess, that’s much better than banning me after downvoting one post on a different community.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s stupid, but if you aren’t even worried about that comm I’d just ignore it. Some people just want the power. If the community is small, I doubt it’s worth much thought. Don’t let it bend you outta shape.
