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?

    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. :)
