On Digg there’s some drama because someone registered the community “/wallstreetbets,” and the admins took it from him and gave it to one mod of the subreddit “r/wallstreetbets.”
One day later I see this discussion about how Reddit registered trademarks for some high-profile subreddits.
This could be relevant for the Threadiverse.
With a community like Imaginary Witches, a lot of people like seeing cool drawings of witches, as long as they’re by a talented artist. A user might see an AI generated witch as a detriment to the Imaginary Witches community they want to see. Or they might not even realise it’s AI, and just downvote it for being poorly drawn in their opinion. So it makes a lot of sense not to block a community when you’ve only ever seen four bad posts from it over the past ten months.
The mod log suggests people go there just for downvoting everything. I trust the mods of a community that is constantly harassed over the users who have literally made accounts to harass the mods and posters.
After seeing all the times they labelled someone a troll just for downvoting posts they don’t like, I don’t trust their judgement. I think they’re too close to the issue. It strikes Me as paranoia. Nobody is making an alt account so they can downvote one post every couple of months, it just doesn’t fit the pattern the mods say is there.
Except for all the times the mod team has shown people making accounts to DM them when they get banned from it, sure no one does it.
People get really hated over images on the internet.
IDK man, I just got banned from there today for downvoting a post that I just thought was bad - I didn’t even realize it was from an AI slop community until I got the ban notification.
Seems like maybe it’s hypersensitive mods in this case.
Maybe tailor your feed.
For one bad post? I don’t even mind the content, I just didn’t like that post and they’re so sensitive they couldn’t handle it.
You’ve been caught downvoting at least 4 posts

The mods of those comms do not ban from one vote.
But they said it was just once! Why would anyone lie about how much they dislike a community that exist?!
So by what you’ve presented here, it looks like they literally did ban me from a community over one vote. I’ve interacted with StableDiffusionWitches once and now I’ve been banned.
Honestly, is I think the tool they’re using broken, or more likely just… not very good? Regardless something funky is going on, because you’re accusing me of having downvoted a post which you can see on my UI doesn’t show as having been downvoted - the other downvote in Stable Diffusion Art also just doesn’t show as something I’ve downvoted.
Does the tool not account for un-downvoting content, maybe? I occasionally bump downvotes while scrolling, which I then undo - but I don’t even know if that’s what happened here.
I’m sure it was “just one”. For sure.
It’s almost like you can just go check and see that it was literally just one:
Being right some of the time doesn’t mean they’re right all the time. Cops arrest drunk drivers and domestic abusers sometimes, but that doesn’t mean they can be trusted when they turn their bodycams off and ask us to trust their interpretation of an event. Mods do not wield the same power as cops, but I believe the analogy holds water with regards to the issue of trust.
You’re right, banning people who venture into communities to start shit is a good analogy to police brutality.
