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?

      Right, did you miss the part where the AIs are usually trained using stolen data and also consume huge amounts of energy? Why are you defending AI rn? 🥱

        Did I miss the part where you made a terrible argument and are now pivoting to something else?

        Nope sure didn’t.

              You sure are. 🥰 Why don’t you give a real argument about how you think it’s okay for, under the oppressive system of capitalism, capital owners to expand their tools with which they exploit the working class? Go on bud, go for it!

                I know you are but what am I?

                I always love watching you guys crash out like this 🙂

                It would have been fun to watch you melt down about the printing press or the camera.

                Corporations famously LOVE random people being able to easily misuse their IP.

                They actually only spend billions each year fighting to strengthen IP laws because they love the little guy so much. Disney et al are socialist heroes fighting for the well being of artists each time they extend the copyright on ‘their’ creations.
