Had a small discussion with a good beehaw community member in one community, it got contentious but otherwise civil, and they have now taken to taking that discussion out in response to comments I’ve made in other posts and communities.
I would consider this a form of harassment, following me around Lemmy and having a argument seems to hurt the overall discussion in other posts and communities with anger and abuse.
How do I get help in this matter?
Looks like the dude was banned from his instance.
Yes. That makes me sad actually. They’ve been participating pretty well for a year, sorry to see a member lose their way.
I’m actually all for spirited debate, and I think Lemmy is richer when all the different voices are heard, including negative voices. But in the right place. A specific discussion thread for a negative idea, great we can hash it out there. Lemmy is better for it.
Totally agree, but that person was unhinged! They showed their qualities when someone disagreed with them. It’s best lemmy doesn’t have to deal with that anymore.
Whatever happen to the golden rule of the internet? “Don’t feed the trolls”.
Or whatever happened to people’s ability to just… walk away? Harassment is terrible, but it’s the internet. Unless the person is sitting in the same room looking over your shoulder to follow your every move, you can make a new account, block the person, just ignore them… all sorts of options.
The “oh no someone needs to fix my personal issue for me” trend is how we’ve gotten to where we are now.
I guess in this case it’s that this behavior is really opposed to Beehaw’s values.
Edit: they have been banned in the meantime, good job mods

Etc, etc
I’d say the same about being harassed on Linus tech tip posts
If you want to continue the discussion from the Linux tech tips thread, I’m happy to do so there.
If you want to have a discussion here about etiquette I’m happy to do so.
I’m not going to engage with you Lemmy wide, it hurts all of the other communities and discussion threads by having out of context anger thrown into them.
No, we don’t just follow rules you lay out. Sorry. I asked very politely and explain myself repeatedly about how I want to be left alone to just simply say go away Linus and leave it at that. But no you had to keep coming at me over and over and over again. So here I am since this is what you wanted here I am.
“look at what you made me do”
Gaslighting 101 with Juno
I’ve seen plenty of uplifting, positive, nice comments from you but your interactions with @jet are unbe(e)coming and I think disengaging is the better option here.
