The instance has 3 active subs, it’s unlikely the admins are not also the mods engaging in this.
Banning anyone who downvotes is a clear attempt to foster a chilling effect on dissenting opinions. The mods and admins of this instance are putting their thumb on the scales in order to make their ideas appear more positively received than they actually are.
Thanks for your attention to this.
As another almost immediate banee by Donald_J_Musk and conservative2, you have my backing. The excuses given were blatant bullshit.
These guys claim to run it from the USA, but there all in Eastern Europe/russia.
they’re*
proof of this?
Oh we finally got an actual conservative instance… and of course they get their fee fees hurt by downvotes.
Free Speech for me but not for thee.
Good catch.
Oh we finally got an actual conservative instance
HilariousChaos beat them to that, HC is basically a “Nicer Friendlier ExplodingHeads”
Though at least HC is a real instance and not some sort of manipulation attempt
On the flip side it was nice to have a dedicated space at r/TheDonald to peak under the hood and see what they were thinking/spinning. But I agree it would be best to have that on its own.
Blocked the instance! Thanks for the report.

Yea, +1 for defederation, clearly an attempt to make right-wing nut ideas more accepted on than they are

Oh my god. This is like the ah-ha moment for me for what potential the fediverse has in the future.
Although I feel like we’re so early in the concept, that 20 years from now “fediverse” as a concept will be common, but “fediverse” as a term will be as obsolete as “webrings” are today.
But basically this takes away power from the wealthy. They can’t just buy their message being heard. They can create an instance, but if everyone defederates, then no one hears the message.

And since a lot of activities, as well as the mod logs, are public, it’s difficult to engage in similar Tom-fuckery seen elsewhere!
