Do the mods still have the power they had when they banned a whole buncha transphobes years ago? For those who don't know they combed through weeks of logs and found anyone who regularly downvoted trans comments/posts and banned all of them at once. It was absolutely glorious. Nobody was safe. Well. None of the transphobes were safe. The rest of us just thought it was hilarious.

Might be time to pull out that old power

That was so fucking funny. Just an immediate orbital strike on every secret transphobe solved so many problems on this site

[–] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Remember that one user whose excuse was something like "I downvote all pinned threads out of principle, that just happens to include the ones about transgender stuff!"

I think they were actually unbanned after complaining only to get themself banned again a week later, permanently that time lmao

I have died on some pretty wierd hills before and I have seen many others do the same, but that might be the wierdest hill I've ever see anybody die on.

When that vote gets federated does the person that sent the vote get federated too? Is it possible that our admins can like... Look that up? Lol.

Because if you can look it up you can ban that dipshit and they won't be able to vote.

Alternatively we can @ them into here to make fun of them

Downvotes on Lemmy don't mean anything. Think of the points on Lemmy like the points in Whose Line, they don't matter. Regardless, it could be a bot. There used to be one on Reddit that autodownvoted every post to "negate the self upvote" or some stupid crap. Basically, don't worry about the downvote, and keep enjoying life. Don't let the downvoter live rent-free in your mind. Let that idiot go homeless, lest s/he live forever in your brainscape for free.

The big problem is that this person isn't yet banned from Hexbear if they're able to see and downvote our posts. That means there is some transphobic creep out there stalking transgender users on Hexbear. We can't yet know if this person will try to sift through posts to dox trans people once they realize their downvotes have no effect.

That is a very common outcome when a transphobic freak feels their harassment isn't effective, see the entire history of KiwiFarms. And while we're on that subject, we also have no idea whether this person will organize raids on Hexbear by posting screenshots to the very many transphobic discord servers that literally only exist to mock and ridicule trans people in an attempt to pressure them into suicide.

Evil pieces of shit like this should most ideally be shot in the head. Second most ideally they should be publicly doxed and their friends/family/employer informed of their behavior. Without the means to accomplish those first two actions, the next best thing we can do to protect our trans comrades is to find out what account is doing this, and ban them to ensure they'll never be able to interact with Hexbear on that account again.

If the lemmy.ml admins are cooperative with that goal, then we can ensure the next reactionary on lemmy.ml who does this can't hide behind the anonymity of downvotes on their new, not yet banned account.

Oh shit that's a new fear for the collection

I think you underestimate our ideological commitment. Remember, we once banned every single person who'd downvoted any post or comment on trans issues. And if we still had downvotes we'd do it again.

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

It was for those with a pattern of down voting

nah we excise those types here.

Yes, don't let it get to you, but also, don't let it happen if you don't need to
