The mod banning these users is the same mod who made the posts they downvoted. This is mod abuse, turning the downvote button into an auto-self-ban button.
The message is "If you disagree with me, you will be banned"
Monitoring and banning users for using lemmy as intended to signal boost your opinion should be grounds to have all mod privileges removed. This behaviour undermines the integrity of the server and the wider fediverse.
That's not hypocrisy. People who support moderators rights to ban people from their community for mass downvoting aren't saying no-one should ever downvote, and that all bans for downvoting are automatically justified.
This post is about threelon banning multiple people for downvoting one (1) time on one (1) post.
And it is hypocrisy, along with a helping of poor reading comprehension apparently. If you disagree with this post, you would actually have been banned several times by now lol.
But seeing as you are talking about my other post, how many times do you believe a user should be allowed to disagree before it warrants a ban for disagreeing too much?
Yes, I know what the post is about. I'm just talking about generally here. You can downvote, and still be in favour of public upvoting and downvoting.
That's a false premise regarding my position. It's not about any particular number or specific threshold being met. I think it's reasonable for a community moderator to ban someone who never contributes to the community but instead just downvotes anything on the page. Especially if its a small community trying to grow. There are people on my communities now that downvote, but they also interact and also upvote, and they don't just downvote everything. So it's whatever.
Downvoting is contributing, just in a way you apparently don't like.
You should step down as a mod. Also please leave me alone, we have already had this conversation, and I made myself very clear.
I disagree.
You literally just asked me a question, and I replied.
Furthermore: This is a public thread. I'll reply to who I like.
Cool, just a shitty mod harassing a user because they cant control their emotions. Speaks for itself, really.
Replying to you in a public thread is harassing? You can just block me, you know. Or choose not to reply.
Following me to another thread to relitigate something we have fully explored is creepy stalker behaviour, yes.
I did choose not to reply, in the last thread. Please show some self control.
This is a different chain in the same thread. I browsed it and saw a claim by you I thought was unfair. You ask questions, get answers, make accusations, get pushback and then cry harassment.
I eagerly look forward to receiving my pushbike.
Okay I'm going to stop replying here, for the second time. Please try not to "incidentally" run into me again, it's getting embarrassing.
And you think you are even handed enough to moderate multiple communities? I wouldn't trust you moderate my rice cooker, and it's automatic.
The "pushbike" was autocomplete. Edited now.
Again, this is a public forum. I don't seek anyone down but I feel free to reply to anyone.
I haven't done anything wrong in my communities, and have given the Fediverse their only active TV comm.
