Your continuous misrepresentation of Exploding Heads is depressing. Burning hatred for redditors? Where do most of the anti-reddit posts on Exploding Heads originate from? Mostly from the new instances. You say dark corners of the internet, but we're digital neighbors.
If you check the timestamps on that thread you linked you'll see the non-EH people attached themselves to my comment from god knows where. It was unwanted, unsolicited, I've never seen them before and they used it as an example to show how a lemmy thread works. I blocked most of them, that's why you see my engagement disappear.
That's the example you use.
I was here years before you guys. I've seen the lemmyverse struggle. I have advocated so hard for openness, inclusiveness and communication through interconnectivity - all the while saying that people should block what they don't like or find offensive.
I find this whole thread symbolic of the culture you all on average have brought with you. Prejudice, misrepresentation, moral reprisals... I had it enough conflict, I know Exploding Heads won't block you and I know I can't be bothered to individually block thousands and thousands of users accusing me of the most horrible things, like being a Nazi.
At least you guys won't have to block two known prolific shitposters maybe having opinions other than yourselves, mostly in a space you'd have to seek out.
By being on the sh.itjust.works you are personally as responsible for this as the average exploding-head user is responsible for a few of our idiots posting on the internet. I'm leaving lemmy until full instance block is available for individual users so I won't ever have to interact with the type of average user I've seen on sh.itjust.works. Or at least in this thread.
You all drove me away from this platform. At least I have the decency not to seriously argue that you all should be disconnected from other instances.
If you are bigger than us (by a factor of 100?) and we can't really affect you much, is the fear of substantial downvote brigading perhaps a bit unnecessary?
Don't feel like I'm accusing you of brigading, you seem like the type of person who'd rather have a discussion than just anonymously downvote.
If anything, based on your previous statement about seeking out a different community to rile them up, trolling would be more correct.
Community blocking was a recent addition, instance blocking for users is coming. I don't think the massive growth of instances could be expected so I understand the prioritisation.
I think your standards for what you call fascism is dangerously misguided, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't recognise a totalitarian society if it snuck up on you.
Or perhaps you just didn't see those who don't bother engaging in conflict?
I fully understand why you don't expect to find content there in the future, but is that a good argument to deny access to those who already have?
Exploding heads have gotten subscribers from here as well. There's an extensive backlog of topics some people find quite important - even if others don't.
I'd say it's obviously people trying to punish you for your opinions, hiding behind "anonymity". No debate, no co-existence. They just want to annoy you and make sure you see it. Their aim is attention to the act.
If it's possible to ignore, ignore it. You'll win.
If anonymous cowards keep up downvoting comments and posts on here due to what seems like ideological differences, there are tools that can analyze the downvotes and find out who they are. I'm not a fan of blocking due to different opinions, but this seems more like an attempt at destabilizing the service for you. Blocking the offender from the exploding-heads would rid us of the problem.
This is one of the age old philosophical questions, if you pooped and there was no poop - Did you actually poop?
A question that stumped philosophers until the late 1900s and the invention of the water closet and scientists accidentally discovered the ghost poop - You know you pooped but there's nothing in the bowl!
The quantum state of having pooped and not having pooped can be superimposed even in a simple 4D universe like ours and in the end it's just like the observer effect (double slit experiment):
If you checked and there was no poop, there never was any poop.
If you flushed before you checked, there was always poop there.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask, I have been called an expert shitposter by people with vast experience in the field.

1.2k registered users on one of the oldest Lemmy instances.
We had 20 active users today, you had 640. I retract my guesstimate, my argument is that you're only bigger by a factor of 32.
And is it impossible that some of the users from your instance upvoted something they subscribe to, so it must be brigading?
But let's not discuss like we disagree. You all have convinced me to support defederation.

If you'd care to check my comment history, maybe you can see your own prejudice for yourself.
What can I say about brigading other than Exploding Heads having to turn off downvotes for the first time ever due to silent brigading?
How's our federation affecting your instance?
I think your standards for what you call fascism is dangerously misguided, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't recognise a totalitarian society if it snuck up on you.
ayy
Dang, saw the title and thought it would be perfect for Wiggle...

There's been an influx of downvote brigading across instances, it's a way to protect users from getting instantly buried.
Or maybe the admins just don't want downvotes.
Exploding Heads have between 40-60 active users, you probably noticed two posters you find disagreeable.
Have you considered blocking the users or communities you find offensive?
They'd probably try DMCA takedowns I imagine.
Me and my cousins taking turn to move "our" character in UFO Enemy Unknown.
I'm trying to figure out what happened as well... It would be worrying if they've been turned off without any user notification or anything.

Whoa, definitively interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Smaller lemmy instances runs great on a raspberry pi 3 I've heard.
