I just noticed this randomly, because I wasn’t able to vote on a post.

My guess: Someone didn’t like that I am also subscribed to anti-AI communities.

    MysticMushroom mass bans everyone who downvotes in the dbzero ai communities. Notable power tripper, and db0 himself is unwilling to do anything about it. I think it might be a good idea for anti-ai people to just block dbzero if things don’t change.

      That a better argument in favor of Db0, that they’re not going to micromanage someone’s communities for them when anyone can just block what they don’t like.

        On the other hand, if you’re going to have a shitfit over downvotes and mass ban people and accuse them of being trolls, move to an instance that disables downvoting.

          I’m not arguing for or against MM. I’m arguing against the idea that it’s Db0’s responsibility.

            I think it is the responsibility of the admins to keep their moderators from acting like reddit mods and abusing their position for the health of their instances. Nobody is going to want to use an instance if they get banned from half the active communities just for one downvote of slopaganda. If deebs doesn’t care about this, that’s fine in the end. We’ll just find somewhere else to discuss piracy and anarchism. Like anarchist.nexus, hopefully.

      Or just block the communities they don’t like. Why are you suggesting someone block the entire instance, just because they may not like AI? That seems silly.

          This nutcase reminds me of Antiyanks, a mentally ill individual who spent all their time making hundreds of alts like this person. Harassment well beyond any reasonable measure using hundreds of alt accounts on instances with open signups.
