Comment on FYI: Reddit trademarked some community names (Digg link)
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days agoThese communities routinely get people serially downvoting them and since lemmy doesn’t present a way to avoid that, they resort to banning people who are seen as only downvoting. They don’t ban on a single downvote either.
I can see your downvotes on my end. I don’t know if your software federation broke or what else happened.

I can’t find another post I’ve interacted with in StableDiffusionWitches (or the dragons one, or several others I was banned from), so unless there’s more there that I’m not seeing I literally was banned from that community because of a single downvote from seven months ago.
I’m not saying “don’t ban the trolls”, that’s obviously fine - someone downvoting the majority of your posts across your communities isn’t interacting in good faith. But you can’t honestly say I’m a troll, I’ve got what four downvotes of which two might be federation issues? Should I really be getting mass-banned with a "no you’re the problem for not liking us enough >:( " message?
If I’m a troll I’m the worst troll ever, and that’s why I’m saying those mods are being hypersensitive here - even in the best case that it’s not just a federation issue, I’ve gone seven months with four interactions. They need to tune whatever method they’re using to decide who’s a troll, because if that is the threshold they’re clinging to to justify how persecuted they are that is incredibly unhealthy. Even r/conservative is more lenient with their bans.

I agree that banning for posts 7 months apart is not ideal. I’ll ask them to take it a bit less strict.
