Nah, this shit is real. I've seen it. Once the piling on starts it becomes hard to turn the ship around though I've seen it happen. People are morons and they follow the crowd. They see the downvote, and like chicken, they peck at it because others did the same.

is the phenomenon real? absolutely. is writing vague fake stories about how "This community is better than that other community. I went there, and I got downvoted even though I'm definitely right because I'm definitely an expert. Congratulations on being part of the smart community instead of the dumb one." also real? absolutely. The two things that make me think this is bullshit are:
- "I'm definitely right because I'm an expert in that field. No I won't tell you what the field is."
- 174% of the time "I got banned for having the wrong opinion" translates to "I was a complete and utter shithead to everyone and now I'm trying to pretend the issue is what I said not how I said it."

Yep, I got downvoted to oblivion on Reddit once for daring to reference (and source) a peer-reviewed paper.
What a time to be alive.
