I downvoted maybe 3 posts for being “unwise”, but I guess that’s not allowed. Looked up the mod and they banned a wave of people, all for “…”. Good stuff.

This “banned for using the functions of the website” shit is really getting out of hand. Unless it’s unequivocal support for every post, you’re out. It’s ridiculous out here.

Also! We still can’t block communities we’ve been banned from? Wtf?

    I’m not a serial downvoter. I maybe downvote around 10% of what I upvote, and that’s considering that I regularly browse /all and find spam that I downvote and report, so I wouldn’t call myself a “mass downvoter”. It was also the first (and only) time I downvoted in that community. Some mods really don’t like disent. But it’s fine, I only found out because I went to the modlog to check something else and found out that I was banned. I suppose if I didn’t even notice that I was banned, it means I’ll be able to survive the experience.

      Oh I’m with you, I was just adding an anecdote to back up your point. Those mods should just migrate their communities to an instance without downvoted if they’re so sensitive about them
