    Their justification is you’re not a participant in the community, yet you’re voting. Of course theres 0 reflection on the content coming out of their subs and it has no weight the in decision.

    For brigading I can understand but a couple of mods have a very low bar for it. One banned me recently because of it. Likely because two low effort post made it to all in a short window from a meat base comm. I’ve downvoted vegan post more often back in the early days and they dgaf.

      while band are not something i’ve done, i’ve noticed a lot of downvotes in !shittyasklemmy@lemmy.uhhoh.com from people that clearly haven’t checked what community the post is in

        For that comm I could see users downvoting it for a lot of the post being negative/rants but yeah it does happen when it isn’t deserved unfortunately. I just don’t think banning should be a knee jerk response as other mods have done.

      Funnily enough I was just banned and blocked by a mod when I commented on a post mentioning that they’ve accidentally reposted an image they’ve already submitted. Kind of surprised since I recognized the username and thought they were decent enough as a user.

  Mods watching votes is creepy

    I would be surprised if they haven’t automated it at this point. I’ve been meaning to post about it since it’s reeks of vote manipulation to me but I’ll give it some more time first.
