This mod stated that they were the one behind the bans (https://feddit.org/comment/8930413)
So, a mod banning downvotes while using several sockpuppet accounts to vote multiple times.

Is this what you've been reduced to? repeating my own previous responses at me in a weak attempt at trolling?
Can you not find something better to do with your day?
Sure brother.
No one is buying it, and your constant clumsy attempts to divert the conversation are getting truly hard to watch.
Please go outside and leave your phone at home, for your sake and the sake of everyone around you.
I understand you are feeling cornered having been caught, but slandering others is not the adult response.
Please try to learn and grow from this humiliation, you might become a better person.
Thats a lie, it was created a day prior to my involvement in any way.
Most likely you decided to manipulate votes via sock puppets an addition to abusing your mod powers.
Occams Razor points to you.
Stop trying to cover me in your shit, you are fooling nobody.
Hey man, you're the one who turned up a day late to a thread with nearly 300 comments, didn't read shit and made a b-line for the OP to make frankly fucking deranged accusations about authoritarianism, while inferring you somehow know the 'kind of person' I am on the inside.
Respectfully, bother someone else with your crackhead bullshit.
You watch too many debatebro streamers lol. Go away.
And you are describing people using their single votes as they see fit as "authoritarian". You'll forgive me if I don't engage in your magical reality. Any conversation with you would be unproductive by virtue of you being involved.
Go and wave your impotent rage in someone else's face.
Sounds like someone is salty their little fiefdom of communities fucking suck and get no traction. skill issue lol

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.

lemmyusa.com is engaging in vote manipulation, suggest defederating unless it is addressed.

Mod Abuse:

The instance has 3 active subs, it's unlikely the admins are not also the mods engaging in this.
Banning anyone who downvotes is a clear attempt to foster a chilling effect on dissenting opinions. The mods and admins of this instance are putting their thumb on the scales in order to make their ideas appear more positively received than they actually are.
Thanks for your attention to this.
EDIT: the mod responsible for these actions has been caught voting multiple times using a variety of sockpuppet accounts.

No I agree, your vote is yours and there's no bad vibes from me for using it how you see fit.
But I mean, come on, can't you see the joke in down voting several of my comments all at once, because you don't agree with my opinion that down voting several things at once is actually fine to do?
Either way, I wasn't trying to get your hackles up, so sorry if I did.
