Was recently banned from a whole bunch of DB0 communities for, as best as I can gather, downvoting once when I viewed by All.

Important notes:

  1. I don’t use scripts.
  2. I don’t mass-downvote Communities. If I see a post I generally don’t like when browsing All, I may downvote one post, block the Community and move on.
  3. Some of the communities I was banned from don’t have any posts in them so I wouldn’t have been able to downvote anything.
  4. Of all of these Communities, in my history I downvoted one post in one of them. Voting in this manner is not vote manipulation. It’s quite literally a feature of the platform and as a mod of another Community, I would consider it pretty good etiquette.
  5. One of my bans reads “Appeal Granted, not a brigading member” but I’m still banned.
  6. I don’t troll.

WTF is going on here?

      The mystery is why the more more “mainstream” news source (Fox) is banned but the fringe/conspiratorial Breitbart is not only not banned but makes up a good third of the posts that he does.

      Mind you, a whole other third is from the New York Post which is also a Murdoch property?

      I invite you to propose the ideological framework that explains all of that - the closest I can come up with is libertarian
