Names blurred to protect the innocent / crazy. Not trying to call anyone out, just thought the response was hilarious and highly disproportionate. Like, they distinguished that comment (green border/background).

For reference, the comment I presume that was downvoted that apparently triggered that response was to the tune of “BoTH SiDEz!!!” with some hyper generalizing / stereotyping on the side.

    Maybe they downvote without commenting because they get banned when they comment?

    Idk the instance, but it’s pretty funny calling down voting undemocratic when it’s the only means of voting on comments and you effective rigged that election lol

      Its their instance, their rules. Instances should always place their users before guests.

        I agree. I didn’t say they shouldn’t be allowed to enforce their own rules. I just said their justification of those rules was stupid. They’re allowed to be stupid, it’s their instance
