And the rest:

And the thread in question:

So we need to have a long and serious talk about the authoritarian chucklefucks you all are allowing to dominate your platform, for this is an example of this flagrant bullshit someone else DMed me recommending I go to admins about, but we all know the admins are a group of Good Ole Boys who will do nothing but protect the mod. 🤦

So why is everyone putting up with this? Did we not leave Reddit to get away from power tripping scumbags? Do people not want a community ruled by the consent of its people? People were flagging shit based on bad faith arguing which last I checked falls under that sub’s first rule.

Oh, but telling a mod “no” is unacceptable. 🤦

We all need to come together and create an actual democratic platform because this is blatant authoritarianism and is not acceptable.

Oh, icing on the cake:

    Or did we become okay with being ruled by tyrants all of a sudden?

    If so, what’s the point of federation?

    The point of federation is not to prevent tyrants.

    The point is the option to exclude or include any instance due to whatever metric you want.

    If you don’t like tyrants, you can defederate your instance from any tyrant-ruled instance.

    And, obviously, you can run your own instance as tyrannical or democratic as you want - users who don’t like that are free to leave, instance-owners who don’t like that are free to defecate from you.

    If you’re just a user on the relevant instance, all you can do ist petition the people who have that power.

    I understand that’s basically what you’re trying to do, but your argument shouldn’t be about federation or lemmy’s inherent structure - the question should be “is anyone else annoyed by that behavior?”
