    Off the top of my head.

    unruffled at dbzero hypes up the conspiracy that everyone who gets banned for vote manipulation/whatever deserves it. I think they posted something about the brigade menace and treat a handful of down votes on something as the end of the world.

    cryptagion at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

    mystic mushroom at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

    Also jet at hackertalks does mass bans for one or a few down votes

    Think there was one other too but can’t remember their name. The complaint is that they don’t understand what lurkers are (vote but don’t comment) or that people might browse all and not care about AI but down vote something because it is awful. Then they make ridiculous accusations and accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being a troll.

    If they just banned down votes and banned anyone who down voted with the reason ‘down votes not allowed’ then they would not be getting the widespread negative reaction that they are getting by accusing people of brigading or vote manipulation or ‘anti-ai harassment’ and all their other stupid and insulting made up ban reasons.

      Those 3 shitheads are fucking pathetic.

      You can also add m_f at discuss.online & Flatworm7591 at lemmy.dbzer0 for bandwagoning with cryptagion for their pro Ai crusade.

      Jet also spreads misinformation about meat consumption and sudo health bullshit 🤮

      downvoting is against the rules of those communities. if you don’t read the rules before interacting with a comm, that isn’t my problem. why not make a post in YPTB?

        Downvoting being forbidden is dumb and unfair

        That would be actual vote manipulation by mods

        People can’t see the community rules when browsing All you fucking donkey.

        Also, down voting is NOT against the rules unless they were changed recently recently.

          downvoting has been against the rules from the start. and again, it’s not my problem if you didn’t read the rules. you were banned according to them. if you don’t like it, that’s really tough.

        Yes, unruffed is the one YPTB mod who is cahoots with the other three mods (of other communities) that are all doing the mass bannings, and even using each other’s moderation as an excuse for more bans.

        Example of mass banning (multiple communities, many users in a short time span)

        Note I am perfectly fine with the last one for no down voting allowed for that community. It is stupid and rules don’t show in the main feed, but no down voting is in the rules and they were banned without being accused of more than what they did.
