And this is the second time in just over a day that I've seen moderators abusing the ability to monitor how people vote.

This behaviour undermines good faith participation. Users should not be afraid of copping bans for using the downvote button as they feel is appropriate.

"It is the correct word for donald trump and the people around him"

Germany should shut the fuck up and stop treating genocides like fucking pokemon.

Punishing users for their individual votes is mod abuse and vote manipulation. You are removing the voting rights of users who dislike your content.

The only acceptable grounds for banning a user based on their votes would be using a sock puppet to vote on a single post or comment multiple times.

If people think your posts are shit, they should be allowed to express that without fear of phantom banning. Suck it up, or delete your account.

This just keeps getting more absurd.

This is embarrassing, you need to stop. You are throwing a tantrum on the internet, find something better to do with your day.

because downvoting is one of the central actions pivotal to the kind of social media that Lemmy/piefed/reddit is.

Subservient scum. ACAB.

Wow look, ahistoric nonsense proven wrong by even the most cursory look at world history. How embarrassing.

Lol fucking uranium one, why not skip foreplay and just start telling us about hunter bidens laptop and obamas birth certificate? 🤣

"I like to make fun of people with disabilities when I criticize ronald reagan" fuckin dope take man good job great work keep it up
