The creator of Pleasant Politics made an automod bot that will preemptively ban someone if they receive a high ratio of downvotes anywhere on lemmy, not just in its own community. It's to prevent bad actors and trolls from being able to post in there at all.
Notice the link in the ban reason of your screenshot, which explains what it is and how it works.
That is a bad bot lol.
You can post in a lot of lemmy's that attract bad actors to your post. It's not instantly equals = bad. Seems very limited imo...
It seems to work fairly well overall. It weighs downvotes based on how reliable the downvoter is (to make it harder for people to artificially get someone banned), and will automatically remove the ban if you don't continue to get downvoted a lot over the course of a month. Bear in mind it only effects bans from the Pleasant Politics community, and nowhere else.
