      Downvoting a post ain’t brigading 😂

      Is there not an option in Lemmy to make a community private, or exclude it from /all?

      That sounds like what you need if you can’t handle general users disagreeing with you.

        There is no option to hide a community from All at the moment.

        Private communities exist, but require to add every member as a mod, unrealistic for anything with more than a few members.

          Then tools should be built against brigading. For example, observing high quantity downvotes per unit time, as compared to the general traffic on the post. Then scrubbing or smoothing the votes as such.

      That conveniently ignores what the actual issue was, since if Beaver had replied to the request to discuss those actions with the other mods we wouldn’t be having this discussion. Not consulting with other mods before making COMMUNITY decisions was, to my mind, the main reason for being demoded.

          I note that Beaver has now left the site completely, probably due to the dog piling and bullying. So, job well done. You made people unhappy. Good work, the Internet is safe once again.

          Oh lord. The victim complex is STRONG here.

          I would suggest perhaps they left because they were unwilling to take responsibility for the fallout and repercussions of their own actions, which seem to have razzed a number of people.
