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.
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?!
You downvoted the comment where I explain that I think they’re wrong - are you really going to pretend like you can claim a victory here?
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.
These communities routinely get people serially downvoting them and since lemmy doesn’t present a way to avoid that, they resort to banning people who are seen as only downvoting. They don’t ban on a single downvote either.
I can see your downvotes on my end. I don’t know if your software federation broke or what else happened.
I can’t find another post I’ve interacted with in StableDiffusionWitches (or the dragons one, or several others I was banned from), so unless there’s more there that I’m not seeing I literally was banned from that community because of a single downvote from seven months ago.
I’m not saying “don’t ban the trolls”, that’s obviously fine - someone downvoting the majority of your posts across your communities isn’t interacting in good faith. But you can’t honestly say I’m a troll, I’ve got what four downvotes of which two might be federation issues? Should I really be getting mass-banned with a "no you’re the problem for not liking us enough >:( " message?
If I’m a troll I’m the worst troll ever, and that’s why I’m saying those mods are being hypersensitive here - even in the best case that it’s not just a federation issue, I’ve gone seven months with four interactions. They need to tune whatever method they’re using to decide who’s a troll, because if that is the threshold they’re clinging to to justify how persecuted they are that is incredibly unhealthy. Even r/conservative is more lenient with their bans.
I agree that banning for posts 7 months apart is not ideal. I’ll ask them to take it a bit less strict.

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:
FYI they have tools that tell them all the downvotes you’ve ever sent in that community, so if you saw one bad post a month and downvoted it without knowing it’s AI, their tools will make it look like you’re a “downvote troll”, whatever that means.
Sure, however I just went through every single post in that community for the last year+ and the only other interaction I have had with their content was here, where I upvoted a post I didn’t realize was AI:
These mods are pretty clearly just out of control, and it is embarrassing that db0 is allowing them to act like tbis. It’s ridiculous they presume they should be allowed to force their slop on /all browsers but they should be allowed to mass ban people who didn’t care prior to being banned from ever being allowed to interact them over literally a single downvote.
