If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.
EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!
EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!
EDIT 4: The mod in question has now been removed as a mod of the !vegan@lemmy.world community, as a result of their abuse of power.
EDIT 5: This will be my final update, since as far as I see it, the issue this thread focuses on has been resolved. To quote Beaver herself in a very ironic comment she made directed towards someone else:
Am I missing something here? The vegan community is for vegans and people to ask questions about being vegan but is not for debating about any part of being vegan. That is their rule 5, which I see people break every day thinking it is ok to shit all over vegans there. If you don't want to hear about vegans then block the community.
I'm not vegan, but honestly I can understand. As soon as you have an opinion which is not the one of the majority, your posts, even in thematic spaces, are heavily downvoted, and it's tiring. I'm not conservative, I disagree with the posts in c/conservative, buy why would I downvote the things they publish there? A lot of Lemmy members do, however. Same with c/vegan or the religious communities.
At this point we should turn Rule 5 into it's own joke. Bad vibes? Rule 5. I don't like you? Rule 5. I'm having a bad day? Rule 5. The great servers need a sacrifice? Rule 5. Bitching about Rule 5? Believe it or not, Rule 5.
Justified ban imo. You weren't there to discuss veganism as a vegan, you were there for drama. It's not spam when they make a lot of posts to their own community. Unless the content is hateful, the correct response is to block.

What was the name of that mod on reddit with 5k communities? I remember they were very well known, but it's been a long time since having an account there.
It's "vegans" like this that make the entire movement look bad. They need to be removed as a mod. The movement needs to be honest by letting free and equal exchange of ideas and viewpoints
The users at lemmy.world basically already drove the mods in that community to suggest vegan communities on other instances to basically not have to put up with the rest of lemmy.world. It's a dead community walking and the whole ordeal convinced me to block .world. I've seen less content, but damn has my experience on Lemmy gotten a whole lot better.
PSA, stop trying to use the Reddit syntax of /c/vegan, it's !vegan@lemmy.world. The exclamation mark is what makes it a link. Also please always include the instance the community is hosted on or it will link to different places for different users.
It's funny how many trolls and crazy people are attracted to positions of power, I suspect it's compensation. That last message says it all. Their user seems to have been nuked, at least in their home instance. Ironic they had to remove the same mod they not only criticized but also continued criticized in their remove mod post unironically. Does this mean they will move back to lemmy.world? Didn't they move out to lemmy.ml?
Anyone who is affected by this loser mod banning them for voting I encourage you to create accounts on other servers and rail her and her community. The nice thing about lemmy is Ban evasion detection is poor as is vote manipulation detection. Let's show her we mean bussiness here.
Pastebin link to message is my username to make it harder to supress this info.
I wondered why I hadn't seen all this drama, but then I remembered I blocked all the vegan communities right after I joined Lemmy, along with all the trans and gay stuff, and the tankie instances.
I don't want to see their shit and chances are they don't want to see mine.
