Yeah so the AI haters have doxxed them, posted their photos on Lemmy, and harassed them non stop.
But you got banned, that’s rough buddy.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
It’s pretty straightforward, they’ve been targeted and doxxed and harassed by anti ai trolls on Lemmy. You probably downvoted some posts in their comms, contributing to this and got banned.
If it’s a comm that doesn’t interest you, why are you even going on about it a month later to shit talk the user?
Why did I mention something relevant to the conversation? That's your question?
You could have easily done so without directly linking them. That adds nothing except pushing your vendetta and directing more harassment at them.
I don't have a vendetta. I'm entirely ignorant of the context you're describing. I got blanket banned from a series of communities by aforementioned user for (presumably) downvoting. I'm not really very interested in continuing this.
Listen bro, you could have avoided this. You should have known that anytime you comment or vote on lemmy you could trigger a sensitive mod's paranoia and be banned for that.
If you want to participate in Lemmy, you're going to need to learn to read the room, figure out the single opinion that is being allowed, and stick to it.
It's better than Reddit here bro, just make sure that you don't stick out and you won't be hammered down.
Looks like we're going to need a new decentralized platform.
Or just a platform without people, because people suck.
Posting for an audience of one
You got any proof of that?
The posts have been deleted, you can go ask on dbzer0, the mods should be able to verify it happened.
