    Off the top of my head.

    unruffled at dbzero hypes up the conspiracy that everyone who gets banned for vote manipulation/whatever deserves it. I think they posted something about the brigade menace and treat a handful of down votes on something as the end of the world.

    cryptagion at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

    mystic mushroom at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

    Also jet at hackertalks does mass bans for one or a few down votes

    Think there was one other too but can’t remember their name. The complaint is that they don’t understand what lurkers are (vote but don’t comment) or that people might browse all and not care about AI but down vote something because it is awful. Then they make ridiculous accusations and accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being a troll.

    If they just banned down votes and banned anyone who down voted with the reason ‘down votes not allowed’ then they would not be getting the widespread negative reaction that they are getting.

      Out of all those people, isn’t @unruffled@lemmy.dbzer0.com the only mod of !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?

        Yes, unruffed is the one YPTB mod who is cahoots with the other three mods (of other communities) that are all doing the mass bannings, and even using each other’s moderation as an excuse for more bans.

      downvoting is against the rules of those communities. if you don’t read the rules before interacting with a comm, that isn’t my problem. why not make a post in YPTB?

        Downvoting being forbidden is dumb and unfair

      Don’t forget that Jet spreads misinformation about meat based diets and sudo health science in multiple communities that they moderate.

        Yeah, he was the reason I dug in my heels against the stupid ‘if you don’t like it then ignore it’ bullshit which is fine for music and sports but down voting misinformation is one of the main purposes of the down vote!
