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.
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.
