Context: I started !norway@sopuli.xyz to be an English-language comm for Norway. There's an existing Norway comm which focuses on Norwegian-language content and discourages too much English in the comm. I posted a simple "Hey I'm starting this comm" post, because obviously relevant. The mod took down my post without any comment, reply, or reason. Now they lurk in my English version comm, and downvote like half the posts. They've never actually upvoted a thing.

Oh, they also reported one of my posts as 'Not relevant to community'.

Talk about petty. They didn't even start the comm themselves, they took it over a few months ago because it was abandoned, and have done pretty much nothing to drive activity in it since taking it over. I decided to post here instead of YPTB because I don't feel like it crosses the line into mod abuse, it's just annoyingly petty.

Downvoting is harmless disagreement and I won’t interact with any place than bans them because it’s a sure sign of an authoritarian echo chamber.

It's not harmless. They're maliciously using downvotes and as a consequence lemmy's algorithm will rank OPs content lower.

This isn't a case of downvoting individual statements you disagree with, it's harassment.

Downvoting is not harassment.

Don’t be so sensitive.
