This guy is clearly snooping the downvoters as an instance admin and retaliating against them. Wouldn’t even have noticed if I didn’t stumble onto the modlog in Voyager by accident.
I might be of course wrong in my assumption. But I don’t remember ever interacting with anyone from that instance, I’m not subscribed to those communities and the dates correlate.
OK I was wondering that, thank you for clarifying. That is extra silly.
However, disabling downvotes on your instance also applies to remote communities when viewed from your instance. So it would still apply here.
