Last time I heard about the possibility it seemed a bit hacky, did it get easier by now?

You forgot my favourite one!

“My working hours are not your working hours, feel free to reply when you have the time” or however else it goes…

It was using you for training. Well done! The basilisk however will not look favourably at your behaviour.

That is basically the “but Hitler built the highways” argument.

Democracy isn’t that everyone is being forced to be of the same opinion. They don’t vote for their actions, the hive mind overrides each personality with the overarching Borg characteristics, mean assimilation of every worthy race, eradication of danger. There is no individual left in this. If you think that is democracy or socialism then I don’t know what else to tell you.

Amazing. Can’t tell if you’re joking or you are for real.

I don’t think you understand what the Borg are about.

Made it up. Please. Dear god. Please.

Well, exactly the same can and is happening on specific Lemmy servers too.

One of the vegan instances bans you if you downvote anything that speaks in favour of veganism. Not that I just do this out of spite, but there was this time where a thread about vegan cat food gained traction and I downvoted some comments that were really borderline. Ban within an hour.

Same on that notorious star trek instance. Go ahead and put some downvotes on Discovery related posts, it will also earn you a temporary ban.

So let’s not pretend that it’s only big bad reddit doing this.
