The mod banning these users is the same mod who made the posts they downvoted. This is mod abuse, turning the downvote button into an auto-self-ban button.

The message is "If you disagree with me, you will be banned"

Monitoring and banning users for using lemmy as intended to signal boost your opinion should be grounds to have all mod privileges removed. This behaviour undermines the integrity of the server and the wider fediverse.

BRB, gonna downvote all his posts so I don't have to bother blocking that community.

(I also blocked it anyway.)

Thanks for the heads up I'm gonna go get banned from a shitty elon musk fan community. Badge of honor as far as I'm concerned

Because mods can only mod a single community, right, and no-one makes it almost their entire personality of "being a mod"?

I've sometimes found I've been banned on the weirdest communities which I've ever even visited, because some dipshit Russian got mad at me for calling out their propaganda and then banned me from all the communities they could. Pretty common on Lemmy

I don't get it. Is he like... doing an Elon Musk impression...? Is this performance art...? I don't get it

[–] descartador@lemmy.eco.br 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or maybe he is... No... It can't be... Elon?

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't be shocked.

kind of the dark side of the reddits/lemmys. Mods just doing whatever they like. btw, fuck Elon musk, that guy sucks. and fuck threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works. What a snowflake douchebag.

Wow, not even making up a lie, just straight up saying they're banning for down voting.
