Downvotes are not a "disagree" button.

Please don't downvote posts in this comm because you think a ban was justified. That defeats the purpose of this comm.

So, you're telling us how to use this?

Who died and made you God?
Downvoted - I disagree...
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself, I had to downvote this
- Y'all make me gonna power trip all over youse arses!
If a ban is justified, then there is (pretty much by definition) no power tripping, right? So I feel like it definitely makes sense for this community to downvote if the ban is justified.
- no this just buries the post and doesn't transfer the info, that this is why the downvote was cast (and not, say because it's off-topic). We have text votes for this, check the sidebar
  
  Ah okay - I will say, the community name is a little misleading. The name makes it sound like it's for exposing power-tripping mods, but the sidebar suggests it is for asking whether a mod action is justified or not. Perhaps a different name would be more appropriate.
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, the irony. I'll use the downvote button to show that a ban was justified. The entire purpose of this comm is to show mods power-tripping and I shall downvote content that does not fit the theme of this comm.
- I can agree with this, people bellyaching about being censored for hate speech, trolling, or just being evil people isn't helpful, if anything it devalues the community since people will just see that and assume that it's just a complaining community, not a place to share legitimate and objective mod abuse. It's bad enough that Lemmy's culture has a very strong bias devaluing the judgement and opinion of individual users, it would honestly be preferable not to make that worse than it already is.
I am a simple man. I can only embrace or reject. Nuance is not part of my vocabulary.
