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.

        Extremism - Implicit variety. Pattern of downvoting content that denounces targeted violence / vigilante justice, upvoting content in support of.

        https://dubvee.org/site/dubvee.org

        As an instance, we’re pretty heavily moderated in order to maintain a welcoming atmosphere that fosters civil discussion. We don’t “tone police” everything, but we do expect users, local and remote, to behave themselves and act in a rational, civilized manner. Those who cannot, local or federated, are quickly shown the door.

        Absolutely No Extremism

        Implicit Extremism:

        • Patterns of upvoting or boosting posts/comments that explicitly praise, endorse, or advocate for violence (or any of the ‘explicit’ items above)
        • Patterns of downvoting posts/comments that denounce violence or those that advocate for lawful/peaceful solutions.

          Thank you for looking this up - that is very helpful.

          There’s a huge difference between someone “doing precisely what they said they would do in advance” vs. a “Power-Tripping Bastard”, imho.

          I’ve downvoted them because their comment chain has implied that glorifying the CEO killer will cause the US to head where Mexico is. Except the cause of cartel violence IS the US foreign policy and domestic drug laws already. Remove the racism against Latinos and decriminalize drugs and you don’t have an incentive for the cartels to dominate illegal trade with violence towards elected officials.

          They’ve made a false equivalence.

          Thanks for the log, Voyager doesn’t highlight the details.

        Well they are saying there is no proof in your example. Which you yourself say.

        The same thing happened to me though, and I too found it by accidentally tapping the Modlog button. I’m banned from 7 different communities on that instance. Except for a 3 day ban in one of the .ml communities I have never been banned anywhere. I am only guessing at why I was banned since the modlog seems to reference something that isn’t in the modlog as the reason. I messaged them twice and never got a reply.

          I think it’s a big problem that Lemmy doesn’t notify when moderation actions are taken against you, and the modlog doesn’t even have an RSS feed so it’s not like you can subscribe to it either to get the notifications that way from your feed reader. You just kind of have to stumble across it, which is how I found out I was banned from the news community for “sock puppet account” for 3 days because the mod thought my accounts were sockpuppets, was an honest mistake sure, but still, I should’ve found out when it happened, not days after the fact.

        You were downvoting everything they posted, sounds like you wouldn’t have enjoyed participating on dubvee anyway

          Banning for downvotes is just unhinged. “You wouldn’t enjoy it there” - I got a perma ban from that instance for a total of about 5 downvotes over the course of weeks. I don’t know how “bad” OP was being, but the admin there is extra trigger happy for the slightest possible “issue” and shouldn’t be defended for it.

          *Bruh. I just decided to look into it more and this wasn’t even on the banned instance. The admin banned OP for “misbehaving” on an entirely different instance. What a fucking tool.

            PTB, but also confined to their personal instance, so nothing of value was lost. Let them power trip in their little sandbox, it doesn’t affect the rest of the world.
