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.

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.
