Ban for upvotes is real here?
Recently I was simultaneously banned from a huge pile of "communities" with a mod commentary "for upvoting homophobic materials"(or "transphonic", I don't remember exactly). This kind of bans is the very reason why I quit Reddit. Is it normal here, or is it just some feral mod from Reddit?
P.S. Before you sidestep/offtop/ad-hominem here: no, I have nothing against LGBT folk and absolutely not interested in the theme.
Yeah man seems like the problem is you. Maybe you just suck.
You got banned from trans friendly communities for making transphobic comments, then upvoting other transphobic comments. The rest of your removed comments speak volumes about your character, so I suspect the rest of the bans are preemptive. I don't blame them. Reddit is probably a better choice for you.

Edit: Choice "I'm not against LGBT" comment quote -
So... People who couldn't keep from shouting about their "pronouns" irritated bystanders so much that they were ready to vote even for Trump just to shut up those crazy pronouns-bearers :)
Right.
Edit2: mein Gott, there's more! Totally no LGBT issues here.
Your response to this pro-Trans meme about the world being a better place with Trans folk in it:
BUT WITHOUT YOU IT WOULD BE EXCELLENT!
Right2. Did you not realize mod logs are public?
Thank you for documenting
oh yea, I remember your name! someone posted a pro trans meme saying "the world is better with you in it." and you responded something like, 'it would be even better without you'. I hope you get banned again.
You know what? I'm gonna use this opportunity to preemptively block you. Bye.
That most likely wasn't a moderator, but an administrator. The ability to view votes in communities for mods is not available in the latest release of Lemmy yet. That will come in the next release, 1.0.0.
Though I can't see any modlog entries for your account. Did you get instance banned and created a new account here?
It is
Adding ability for mods to view votes. (#3027)

Oh, didn't notice that. Thanks for the info. Regardless, it wasn't a ban from a moderator.
Yes, this is a new account.
Okay.
I assume your previous account was @Lembot_0001@lemm.ee, which was instance banned from lemmy.ml. The administrator was davel. You can try and ask him if it bothers you, maybe even appeal your ban. Your new account most likely will be instance banned again if you try and engage in lemmy.ml communities again, given your username is pretty much the same.
Honestly, we got lots of active alternatives to lemmy.ml communities, as the majority here hates lemmy.ml. Don't be surprised if you get banned from lemmy.ml again. Check out !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Yes banning people for votes, fraudulent, excessive, or made seeminly in bad faith is a thing. Mods can view votes these days but also admins have been able to view them for a long time.
This must have been with an alt account of yours? I don’t see any actions taken against your account in the mod log.
Yeah, looking up the modlog for Lembot_0001 on lemmy.ml it seems there was more going on than just upvotes, and they got in trouble with programming.dev, europe@feddit and more as well.
Oof… yeah, that sort of tea kettle of targeted rage and violence seems more like a 4chan user. They also happened to find themself on some of the instances that have reputations of their own (I’m not referring to either of the two instances that you mentioned). Should I pre-emptively type Lembot_0003 to 9999 into my blocked accounts list?
being banned on .ml communities for "rule 1" is extremely vague though, since they'll call you a xenophobe for criticising China.
Yes, I deleted the previous account. It was banned from the half of the communities I cared about anyway.
I was curious to see who the offending mods/admins were. !yepowertrippinbastardslemmy.dbzer0.com is a good place to post about Lemmy authorities overstepping their bounds, especially if you feel it was particularly unjust.
.ml is notorious for arbitrary bans so I wouldn't think too much about it. There are active alternatives for most (but probably not all) communities hosted there. Criticizing Russia there is also a great way to get in trouble with the admins because they're explicitly tankies.
lol, no. No one has ever been banned from .ml for "criticizing Russia." Even the communist admins of .ml have no love for modern Russia which is a capitalist country, they just know that throwing every single working class Ukrainian person into the meat grinder is the best way forward. And "tankies," as the above commenter is using the term, are just people who recognize that history existed prior to February of 2022.
This place is exactly as shitty as Reddit is. Just "decentralized". I have already mentioned this elsewhere. Don't you dare not being part of some circle jerk or to have a slightly unpopular opinion. And no, I'm not talking about LGBT rights nor anything related to it.
Heavy modlog: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=1101142
reason: racial slur
Every time x3
See, you're part of the problem, because you likely agree with banning/removing people even for slightly discordant opinions. And about the content removed for racist slur, I didn't have an idea that "Japs" was such a thing (not everybody is from USA, nor a native english speker, you know...). If our cared to read the entire thread, it would have been clear to you.
Congrats for having the time to virtually stalk me, btw.
What in particular prompts you to reply that to a user? As in, do you have a plug-in or something that indicates the number of mod actions taken against a user? Or do you recognize usernames and follow them around as they reply? The number of mod actions also doesn’t necessarily reflect the character of a user since there are always some unjust mods, and there are some actions which mods can take that aren’t punitive (ex. pinning posts).
Additionally, it comes across as an ad hominem attack.
Bummer. And do we actually have some more or less free-to-speak alternatives? I'm not some kind of religious fanatic assembling a nuclear bomb. I just want some reasonable freedom to say what I want. Nothing special.
