Since I was curious I checked the actual amount of upvotes and downvotes of my post on mbin. It got 56 upvotes and 66 downvotes according to them since I was curious. Seems I hurt their little ego when I mentioned blocking their instance.

    I haven’t used lemmy up until this point. They pose as a general purpose instance and are the 2nd largest lemmy instance at that. I knew the lemmy devs had their preferences but I didn’t know they would let it effect their moderating so strongly.

      Yeah they could definitely be a bit more upfront about it. Pity the poor “libertarians” who wander in from time to time thinking FOSS=free speech absolutism
