These posts are very difficulty to evaluate, because it could be that the mods are paranoid, and reading the votes wrong, or the bans are legit and you're just lying about it. 🤷
check my modlog and comment history, I've never been on those communities. And since when was voting a bannable offense? One worthy of bans from multiple communities, but only on a single instance? This is your community, what is it for if not this? And what could I possibly be lying about?
It's one thing to be sceptical, it's another thing entirely to be wilfully credulous.
You got instance banned, this is how this is displayed on the modlog. You also seem awfully upset about someone saying there's no way to tell if you're lying. You need to chill a bit.
Also Not being in those comms won't prevent you from downvoting everything in them.
Finally I didn't tell you not to post, nor did I speak as a mod. I just expressed my personal opinion. Your reaction to it however is quite the escalation.
Ps: our instance recently also voted to sanction downvote trolls. So yes, absolutely, some types of voting can get admin attention.
no, an instance ban is different, it reads on a single line and is different from a community ban. this is multiple bans from several communities.
Feels like you are looking for problems here. I didn't downvote a bunch of random posts on unrelated communities in a single instance, because doing that would be fucking insane.
It's not like I'm talking about a ban that can be rationalised, I'm talking about a ban that legitimately makes no fucking sense, even if I had some kind of agenda. what would be my reason for mass downvoting unrelated communities on a small server no one has even fucking heard of?
as I said before; It’s one thing to be sceptical, it’s another thing entirely to be wilfully credulous.
Stop being this wilfully credulous on something so clearly open and shut; it should be below you, if you are actually capable of moderating a community. This is ridiculous.
Disengage
oh fuck off, I'll just make a new account, eat shit cunt. but for the record, I did not mass downvote anything. Fuck you, you powertripping mallcop bitch.
edit: fuckin "DiSeNgAgE", how embarrassing.
I'll just make a new account
And I'm sure that with your shining personality you certainly won't attract the attention of the mods on your new account.
oh fuck off, you arent a mod, you are twat with a small amount of power, thats pretty clear. you got banned because you were a cunt on a previous account so you made this community out of spite. people used it for legit purposes, and most of the time your personality didn't come out, but I annoyed you, so you've gone immediately to bitch mode, abusing the same authority you created this community to cry about.
Fuck you, sincerely. if you want to get into the comments to spout your shitty opinion in future, I suggest you make a separate account for that. At least then you could clutch at the barest reaches of professionalism. What a clown.
Threatening to evade bans and behaving abusively towards others is a great way to get yourself banned again. It also reinforces the idea that YDI. Abusive behavior isn't something that is common among people who are innocent of wrongdoing, actually abusive behavior is considered wrongdoing in and of itself on most instances.
blah blah blah, boring cunt shit, you are a wank stick rubbing yourself to feel powerful. I have given up caring, this was alegitimate post, the point I made was honest, but now I've decided to burn my account because fuck it, if you guys are gonna be this fucking stupid then whats the point? "You were rude so obv you did the thing", truly out of this world intellectual analysis worthy of president camacho himself.
I got banned from several communities on an instance I do not recognise and have never knowingly visited. I did not comment, so my behaviour here is not really relevant is it? I can behave how the fuck I want when the ban I'm complaining about is not relevant to my method of commenting.
I was highlighting a legitimate issue, one I am sure you will eventually find to be worth addressing, but apparently this community is policed by credulous twats and populated by bottom feeding stunted cunts.
Say what you want. I just did. But I will not read it :D
This is the most abusive comment yet...
To me, it only seems abusive to OP's reputation. It's funny to imagine someone this furious in regular conversation. Otherwise, I can only accept that this is parody.
Mods, please don't remove these comments. They've genuinely given me a good laugh and they may give joy to others.
E: Mods, I'm mildly disappointed in you all. Clicking on OPs profile now leads nowhere. I was very interested in seeing how his/her comment career progressed.
Mods, please don't remove these comments. They've genuinely given me a good laugh and they may give joy to others.
This. It was a genuine comedy 😂
The admins of lemm.ee can unban and ban the OP to bring back profile visibility if they choose. Also shows that they recognize the abusive behavior as something that isn't welcome on lemm.ee
Sadly the wayback machines only has one snapshot of his use page from a month ago, he only had one comment at the time.

Reach out to the lemm.ee instance admins about this with the information that @SomeGuyNamedDave@lemm.ee was being abusive and threatened to evade bans, they can 'Unban' then Ban his account and it'll make the comment history visible, which I think is important in this case because he threatened to make alt accounts and evade bans.
Don't have a stroke dude, being this angry all the time is hazardous to your health (preemptively blocking you, don't bother raging at me)
The fuck is up with you lmao. Anyways read the instance rules dipshit. YDI.
no, an instance ban is different, it reads on a single line and is different from a community ban. this is multiple bans from several communities.
Lemmy has a feature to issue community bans when issuing site bans to remote users. Also some instances use scripts to apply community bans in tandum with site bans since site bans don't hard prevent participation in those communities on its own.
CAN YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INSTANCE BAN AND A COMMUNITY BAN? this is fucking nonsense. fuck you.
well I didnt mass downvote fuck all so back to the drawing board for you.
no idea who these guys are, but I've not been systematically downvoting anyone.
edit:
ironic :D
all seem to be dubvee.org, is this a potential federation issue?
edit 2: also trans rights, BLM, free Palestine, Ukraine is a sovereign nation, bigotry is wrong. just to be clear, I see a lot of people complaining about being banned and their shitty rhetoric reveals them. I try to be an ally, these bans are not warranted, likely a butthurt right winger.
A bot was likely involved somewhere in the process (and with tons of potential for false positives), possibly even if it picked up something outside of dubvee. Though that is not the automated message (and I suspect they'd stand behind it even if it were a low amount of votes).
Not sure if it's what you meant, but some of the bans like this stop all of activity from being visible to dubvee users.
Sounds like someone being careless with their authority to me :D
YDI, what did you expect from going there and downvoting all or even most of the contend there? You are aware that mass-downvoting is considered an act of aggression against communities, as it's literally an attempt to downrank their content in the feeds. Many instance admins also don't take kindly to this either, which is probably why they instance banned you from there. This instance that YPTB is hosted on is literally voting for a rule change banning brigading, and many more in the future will likely follow.
If you dislike all of a community's content, you should use the function to block communities. If you believe it is against the rules you should report it by reaching out to admins. Spamming downvotes won't help in either case, it won't make you stop seeing it, and it won't address problematic or rule-breaking content. It just makes you seem like a bot or a troll.
I did not mass downvote, idiot, read the fucking post.
So if I ask an admin to look through your account's DB voting history it wouldn't show a ton of downvotes directed at some Dubvee community, right? I mean you can say yeah but you can't exactly prove that. And I've found that people banned for downvote brigading argue that they weren't doing it because they're still under the impression mods and admins can't see votes. Which we can, and have been for a long time.
yeah go for it, I'd honestly love to see what I did. Please, if thats a thing you can do I'd be very grateful. This thread has been a fucking debacle. what a mistake to take part instead of lurking. If I did something wrong I'd love to know for future reference. fuck me this is exhausting.
Nah, Instead I'm just going to go report your behavior to them. Your behavior here is more than ban-worthy on multiple instances. I'm sure @EllaSpiggins@lemm.ee would agree, as it violates the first Primary rule of lemm.ee "No Abusive Language".
YDI. Mass downvoting is toxic.
ah, so you cant read, easy to ignore, thanks.
You are very welcome.
This person is certainly a troll. He's just snapping at everyone who tells him something he doesn't want to hear.
Reads: "rule 5 - systematic downvoting."
Replies: "Well stop downvoting everything."
This guy: "Ah well I see that you just can't read then."
fucker snapped at me for saying it's impossible to tell if they deserve it.
I don't know why people think like this. Clearly we can tell if he deserved it, we can pull up all his votes. And even if we couldn't, snapping at us doesn't make his credibility go up. It makes him seem more guilty.
I am also banned from a ton of dubvee communities for some reason.
Unlikely, but are you using an unusual app? Maybe there's a gesture that is triggering down votes when you're navigating?
I use vivaldi on my desktop and summit on my phone (great app btw, give it a go if you havent :) )
I'm on Voyager at the moment. Vivaldi is better?
Vivaldi is nice, its chromium but I consider it a holiday from firefox; I'll either return to gecko or migrate to ladybird when it releases. As far as google based browsers, it's still memory heavy, but it justifies it with the integrated extras better than opera does.
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
