Just happened to check the modlog right after it happened. Weirded me out to see my username at the top.

Because I so rarely downvote posts, I remembered the one: https://lemmy.today/post/59636388

I downvoted it because there was no context, just a list of names. No evidence. No nothing. It looks like harassment or trying to inspire a brigade.

I’d take it up with the mod but the strange callout list without context + OP’s extended modlog makes them someone I don’t want to DM.

In case it wasn’t obvious from my post history, no I’m not a zionist and I don’t defend zionists.

I even upvoted one of their recent posts! I’m gonna go take that vote back right now.

    I don’t mind that. We also don’t have to agree on everything. 🤗 and yeah, you are one stubborn goat, but so am I, lol.

    The only time when I become genuinely annoyed and upset with lemmy as a whole is when conversation is being shut down before they can happen and people get labelled and banned without any ability to defend themselves. I have had that happen to me as well and contrary to what these commumities believe they are achieving, they only end up hurting their own causes and look pathetic and extreme in the eyes of others.

    I joined this silly place to hang out and chat and make friends, not to feel like I’m stuck in some crazy keyboard warzone where one percieved slight can make you a pariah xD

      This is a unique space but I still love it. There’s some craziness but I have a hell of a lot more genuine conversations with strangers here than anywhere else.

      My beliefs are strongly held but loosely felt. I’ll argue to the death but I’m willing to change my mind on anything. And frankly, if I’m not butting heads over something, it means I’m in an echo chamber - and that’s much worse.

      Hope to lock horns again soon, in a com that lets people hash it out.

        Yeah, I don’t mind people having strong beliefs and all that. Like you, it’s healthy to have your views tested. It’s just the way that conversation is being shut down on lemmy in such a militant and zero tolerance kind of way, that makes me less thrilled about the space. I think there are lots of good discussions around here, but I feel a lot less free to voice any opinion at all compared to other spaces online, because anything and everything you say WILL be twisted into some weird bigoted interpretation by some of the most psychotic types of people I have ever met online, lol. So I hold back a lot, compared to what I used to do, because I don’t really feel like being accused of tenthousand different crimes by a couple of nutcases that totally derails my points and intentions everytime I try to join any discussion on the wider network.

        Let’s lock horns again! Dunno when it happens, but it probably will, friend! Always know that it’s not personal on my end and I have always liked your username. Wrens are some of my favourite birds xD See you around!
