I have no idea who you are, so any slight against your person is purely your imagination.
I was curious, though, so I scrolled a bit on your profile. Out of over four hundred posts you’ve made, I saw I had downvoted three. The only comment of yours that I saw that I voted on, I upvoted.
I think the other comment about obsessiveness may be right.
Edit: and to be clear, I downvoted your comment here because it is off-topic in this post.
Thanks for bringing their instance to my attention. Their behavior is NOT ok, makes me want nothing to do with their project, and I have defederated their instance over it.
Because OP titled it only “Fediverser” and gave essentially no further info. To borrow from reddit’s FAQ: “Remember that adage about not judging a book by its cover? No one actually follows it. So choose your title carefully — make it useful, provide context, and be descriptive.” I feel that high-quality posts should be elevated, and low-quality posts should be reduced.
Ok. Thank you for clearing that up. I still think that it would be better if you wrote a comment explaining your issue with the post to give people a chance to improve it.
In the general case, to get some feedback about the project. What is so bad about it that people feel like it a negative contribution to the community?
In this specific case, because I don’t want to get into a “he said/she said” argument about the serial downvoters. So by asking to explain it, the public can gauge by themselves who is being reasonable.
I disagree with bringing in more redditors to this site. I think the community ambassador system is a quick way of creating a bunch of powermoderators on a system that’s supposed to be designed to resist that kind of behavior and centralization.
If you hate being downvoted because of disagreement, why would you want to bring more users who default to that behavior?
I also do not believe you should have any more power or capacity in the fediverse. It’s clear to me by your behavior in this thread that even basic things like being downvoted can set you off and make you decide to try to start a witch hunt.
I think you are making some false assumptions here. Me calling out someone does not mean I “hate” anything. It just means that I am trying to understand why someone is so bothered by what I am doing to the point of chasing me around.
The rest of the argument, I really don’t know what to make of it. Seems like you already made up your mind about me and my intentions, so there is nothing that I can say or do that can change that. All I can say is that the project is open source and if someone else wants to work on it and make their own database, more power to them.
You calling somebody out publicly is entirely to illicit a reaction from the crowd. Surely, a direct message would have been more appropriate for a disagreement over a series of downvotes?
By doing this publicly you’ve definitely made the situation way, way worse than it had to be.

You are replying to the creator of the project this post is about. Can’t get much more on-topic than that.Edit: I didn’t realize that they posted two top-level comments. Yeah, I definitely agree that the comment you replied to is off-topic.
Can you please then explain why you downvoted this post?

Modified it a bit. Never understood why reddit never allowed people to edit a title.
It’s so that someone can’t get a post to the front page and change it to something offensive.
I don’t know if that’s going to be a problem on Lemmy. Maybe in the future, if there are more users.

Can you please explain why it matters?

I already sent a DM, 4 months ago. No answer.
