Comment on Is anyone else apprehensive to down voting even if you're being down voted?

You can find the moderators for the community listed in their sidebar. It’s also possible to look at other user’s modlogs depending on the instance you’re using. You would have been able to see that the other user got their comment removed and were also banned from the community.
Instead, you sought out individuals from the community to tattle on them. That is almost always going to leave a bad taste in people’s mouths.

Honestly I wasn’t thinking that deep about it. Was far more casual of a statement than this makes it out to seem. My main intention was to apologize which is what I wrote first. It’s not like I wrote an opus on the injustices of a particular community or anything. It was like a five word quip. So I apologize again it came off like that to you.

The women’s communities on Lemmy get brigaded by men who are incensed at there being a space they’re not welcome in a lot. Daily.
When you reach out via a DM to tattle and, from my point of view, whine about others getting better treatment than you, it feels like yet another man trying to push boundaries.
We’re allowed to maintain our community the way we want and we’re allowed to reject criticism.
I appreciate that you weren’t trying to break the rules.

Honestly I ended up there by accident because I only browse all and new and it was my bad for not checking the sub rules first. Likewise, I feel like we’ve gotten some resolution between you and I and wish you the best (◍•ᴗ•◍).

I wish you the best as well! I’m sure we’ll run into each other again, this place is small. I’m glad we thoroughly talked that out :)
