Will it be effective?

Spoiler

No, it was not very effective.

EDIT: The banning event continues. Please consult the modlog to observe.

If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.

EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!

EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!

EDIT 4: The mod in question has now been removed as a mod of the !vegan@lemmy.world community, as a result of their abuse of power.

EDIT 5: This will be my final update, since as far as I see it, the issue this thread focuses on has been resolved. To quote Beaver herself in a very ironic comment she made directed towards someone else:

    Not a vegan, but what’s the point from the other side?

    It seems like non vegan people downvote the posts from that community without contributing at all, and then are surprised they get banned

        What happened to that stance? I feel like if it were any other subject than veganism, people wouldn’t bat an eye. I’m not out here arguing that being vegan is like being part of a minority, but there sure as hell is a lot of vegan bashing on reddit. On Lemmy too, it seems

          There’s also voting to voice what you want to see in a community. If you block every community that has content you don’t like, there won’t be anything left.

            I see what you mean. However, I think downvoting to curate a community’s contents shows that you are an active participant in the community which many of the people who drive-by downvote usually aren’t
