Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)

    At no point during that discussion did the mod threaten anyone or abuse their power. They were having a heated discussion about a complex topic.

    The fact that you disagree is entirely beside the point. This isn’t harassment in the slightest.

      Insulting people is harassment.

      Insulting people and spreading misinformation, but seemingly being above rules against either is and indication of power abuse from mu perspective.

      Especially as he does it quite regularly.

        I that case, insults were flinging wild. I guess everyone was harassing everyone in there.

        And I note that basically nobody who was actually discussing things was banned, so how is that power abuse?

        Your receipts are pretty weak.
