    I’d be a pretty shitty mod if I didn’t at least try to set people being potentially hurtful straight.

    I’m trying to be nice, and leave you some room for introspection and self-improvement, but since you insist, a ban it is.

      This is exactly the kind of behavior that’s making Lemmy an echo chamber and boring as hell. They didn’t do anything wrong. They didn’t say anything hurtful, they just don’t like it. God forbid someone have their own opinion though when mods can just ban anyone who dares say anything other than pure positivity Inb4 I’m also banned

        They didn’t need to call glasses a fetish, call out bayonetta as if it’s a negative association, nor use the word “lame”. There was nothing constructive about it, unless I or the artists cared about pleasing them specifically.

        The art simply wasn’t for them, and that’s a subjective opinion there was no reason to share, especially if you’re going to go beyond “this isn’t for me” and then walking out. There was no reason for them to express their distaste in a way that suggests others are wrong to enjoy it.

        And this is an art appreciation community. So yes, only positivity allowed. Don’t enjoy the content? Block. It.

        You don’t see me in metal music communities, commenting how it’s “just noise” IMO. That is not an opinion that needs expressing, it won’t be welcome.

        Lemmy isn’t a democracy. It’s a federation of dictatorships. Don’t like how one is ruled? Go start your own.

        I tried to make this point. I gave them a chance to change their behaviour. Instead, they doubled down. Consider this community a soapbox, which I don’t owe anyone the right to stand on.

        If I tell you I don’t like what you do when you stand on it, and you won’t listen, I will revoke your access to it.
