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?

      Me taking glee in stealing from a capitalist megacorp is not a “fuck you, I got mine” comment. You can do the exact same thing I’m doing.

      I like and use AI. You can too, but you choose not to. That’s all on you.

        You’re taking glee in stealing from artists.
        You abandon your fellow humans in pursuit of gargling capitalist balls.

        You are Fuck you; got mine-ing the humans that the capitalists are feeding to the machine.

        I have no respect for that, nor you.

          You’re taking glee in stealing from artists.

          I’m not stealing from any artists. I’m stealing from the capitalist megacorporations that stole from artists. Also, throughout my entire career I worked as a professional artist.

          This is a pro-AI instance. Get used to it.

          I have no respect for that, nor you.

          I don’t care. You don’t pay my bills. :)
