Going into a club just to go around showing everyone a thumbs down is being an ass tbh. I can’t say whether there’s a rule against it, but it’s not behaviour that’s helpful for anyone.

For stuff that shows up in your All feed, you can downvote the post to keep it out of others’ feeds. If such posts appear too much you can block and move on. The mods have just done the latter for you.

A little bit. If I offer too specific expert knowledge I could be doxxing myself, so I make a version that sounds like I just picked it out from the top search engine result, but works well enough as an answer.

I am very sorry you had to go through such a terrible experience.

It is my sincerest hope that you will be able to find a workable solution to this problem, from Lemmy or elsewhere.

I am (and have been) okay with admins taking any action necessary to accomplish the goals of the Beehaw project. So removing image hosting, implementing lemmy-safety, restricting federation severely, do whatever you need.

And please, also do whatever you need to care for yourself, including if it means needing to take a break from the site.
