Just happened to check the modlog right after it happened. Weirded me out to see my username at the top.
Because I so rarely downvote posts, I remembered the one: https://lemmy.today/post/59636388
I downvoted it because there was no context, just a list of names. No evidence. No nothing. It looks like harassment or trying to inspire a brigade.
I’d take it up with the mod but the strange callout list without context + OP’s extended modlog makes them someone I don’t want to DM.
In case it wasn’t obvious from my post history, no I’m not a zionist and I don’t defend zionists.
I even upvoted one of their recent posts! I’m gonna go take that vote back right now.
You must log in or register to comment.
I think its worth mentioning that the poster of the downvoted thread, and the mod who did the ban are the same person. Specifically banning someone to protect your own posts is abusive, malicious, and cowardly.
I figured, thanks for checking.

Was there ever any doubt?
No mod ever bans people for downvoting other people’s posts. They only ban you for hurting their own personal feefees.
I accidentally vote with gestures all the time, this seems like a terrible way to deal with people. At least have a conversation first?
Yes, I accidentally vote when scrolling sometimes, especially when fur baby bumps my hand or device. I’ve probably voted in ways that would horrify me.
or that person could contact me and tell me it was an accidental gesture and I would unban
Why don’t Palestinians simply contact the IDF after their homes were bombed to explain that… Wait they’re dead, they can’t.
You are acting like a fascist. What a stupid loser you are.
I’m not sure that getting banned from a PTB community on Lemmy is really comparable to genocide
mrdown bad lmao.
I accidentally downvoted this post.
The fact that you ban people for downvoting says everything anyone would ever need to know about what kind of person you are.
~My first inclination involves choosing to talk to a bear first.~
What kind of thinskinned loser bans someone for downvoting anyway? It’s amazing to me you survived this long, being so delicate and afraid of everything
Is it supposed to be a bannable offense to downvote a post or comment?
Why are you consistently the most miserable and abrasive person on this platform? I’ve never seen even a single positive thing from you. Just hate and anger. Your username really does check out, because you’re always such a downer.
I blocked all the
communitiessubreddits you hold power in already. If you want to be king of shit mountain then go back to shit mountain.Because mods that autoban for stupid as fuck reasons are known to be reasonable people you can communicate with…
Name doesn’t check out
What a fucking, thin skinned loser.
PTB.
I’ve never heard of this community before today
Same here, I saw this thread, checked out the post mentioned, downvoted the unsubstantiated claims, and am now waiting for my ban.
If the mod in question happens to read this, you should learn from this, don’t just post random accusations of this nature, post evidence of your accusation, including sourcing the information you reference.
By not doing this, you reduce the impact of not just your own use of the accusation, but also everyone else’s.
I liked the stuff they posted. Until now.
Not even the mighty wren is immune from the tankie triad
Edit: Wait, it was on .world? Damn
Banning for a downvote?
What I like about this group is that it shows me communities and mods I can preemptively block to avoid the displeasure of interacting with them. Thanks.Looks like the mod got removed from that community as a result of this
It’s been a whole thing. To recap:
The post was removed for harassment then mrdown was removed as a mod.
Shortly after that the same post was made on the duplicate piefed community, !apologiafreenews@piefed.social (moderated by mrdown) by account small44. It was quickly removed for harassment and the small44 account was banned.
However, the sidebar on the piefed community still features a list of disliked users. I wonder how long that will last.
I’m sorry you’re going through all of this.
Lemmy has a growing toxicity problem. More extreme users seem to be taking over as reasonable people get fed up, bullied, and leave. Even minor disagreements can get ya labeled a Nazi or fascist.
Recently I saw a post from one of the Lemmy’s bigger bullies complain that even he was tired of the toxicity and thinking about leaving.
Lemmy used to feel open, diverse, and welcoming. Now many people seem determined to punish anyone who disagrees with them, which is ironic because that’s the same kind of authoritarian crap they claim to oppose. Your case and what is happened to you is a perfect example of this. Even in this thread, someone called you a fascist. It’s crazy!
Speaking in general, the main difference I have observed is that the “liberal” instances aka Piefed, LW and the large colonial-power-aligned instances, seem to have decided being federated with any leftist instances who challenge state-backed narratives is legally/politically problematic for them. No wonder, since leftism is becoming increasingly criminalized in the west. There has been a sustained campaign to paint anyone left of the Democrats as an “extremist” and to try to isolate us as much as possible. Previously, I’d say most of the political agitation on Lemmy came from leftists. Now, it seems to be mostly coming from anti-antifa crowd, aka the far right.
For this ban in particular though, I think this was a clear case of PTB. Wren is about as reasonable a user as I have come across on Lemmy.
Don’t be sorry, I posted this more because it’s funny than anything else.
Lemmy is a weird place. It’s a whole lot less toxic than, say, my town facebook group, but still weird.
I do hope more people join with the understanding they can curate their feeds, and hope they see all the purity testers and trolls as oddities in an exhibit rather than the whole lemmy experience.
But yeah, super tempted to make a lemmy bingo card now.
I need more suggestions for what would go on it.
How about a list of common ban/removal reasons from the modlog. Like uncivil/civility; misogynistic/misogyny; fascist/fascism; transphobe/transphobic; liberal/liberalism; tankie/communist; you’re a bot/AI/LLM; you get the gist; advertising/spam/spammer/shill; troll/bad actor/state actor; call to violence/antisocial/illegal
Those were just from the top of my head :p
Ooh good idea. One row could just be ban reasons.
Here zionazi jimmy90 for example
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=346837
or Felis_Catus_Domesticus

Palestinians are finally paying the price for 80 years of bad political decisions at every turn that have lead them to this point. The chickens have come home to roost. The bill has come due. Karma is a bitch. Time to pay the piper. Pick your metaphor. Eventually one’s bad decisions catch up with them… true of individuals, true for nations of people as well
My reason was clear i did neither accused you or being a zionist and neither defending a zionists
I stand firmly behind my belief that Zion National Park is superior to all other national parks.
Sad little king of a sad little hill. This the most power you have ever had in your life isn’t it? Your big crowning achievement?
So explain that in the post instead of just listing names and then instantly banning anyone who doesn’t blindly accept it…
Then post a comment asking for proof .
The burden is on you to provide evidence for your claims, at all times, especially when making a direct accusation against another person or persons. No one should ever have to ask for the evidence. Ever.
Nonono, if you post a list of names calling people zionists, you produce the proof then and there.
Easy: “Everybody who ever downvoted me is a zionist!”
The burden of proof is on the person asserting a claim, it’s not everyone elses job to chase you for proof on the claims you make, it’s your job to provide that proof unprompted
Looks like OP has been called a fascist before and threw a fucking fit over it without ever actually engaging with the accusation: https://lemmy.today/comment/26103610
Also OP seem to think banning for downvoting IS totally reasonable (but only when it’s them doing the banning): https://lemmy.today/comment/21073828
Also, literally page after page of liberal-sourced news posts. Like, an astounding amount. And you 'like Reuters". Yeah, you’re not beating the lib accusations on this one, OP.
With all that said, the idea that you would downvote a post warning about fascists on Lemmy says pretty much all that needs to be said, though. You were scratched.
Where was I called a fascist? How am I a fascist?
I never disagreed with banning for downvote bots and troll accounts. I’ve done it myself when I was trying to get my communities started, on the very rare occasion I found an account with tens of thousands of downvotes. I disagree with banning for one downvote.
I post leftist media. Also rocks and art. If you have a problem with anything I post, come say so. I don’t ban people for arguing with me.
Where was I called a fascist? How am I a fascist?
Easy, ml said so. That’s it.
That first link shows an extended conversation between two users who disagreed respectfully. It doesn’t seem to say what you think it says.
The only way the second link shows anything is if you genuinely don’t understand the idea of context. There’s a bit of a difference between responding to a single instance of something, and an established pattern of behavior.
You’re incoherent.
This is why no one takes .ml seriously but yourselves.
