Not my account, but want to advocate for it. Because of, personally, I find it hilarious.

So, it seems like a mod with username MysticMushroom1776 @lemmy.dbzer0.com has some interesting policies about interacting with their content.

I agree that this user called PyroRondo has no content for 5 months straight. This is unusual but totally isn’t against any rules of Lemmy.

As I suspect, they reacted to a few posts of MysticMushroom1776 @lemmy.dbzer0.com during random session of content scrolling. No brigading or any other types of harassment. I even suspect that these reactions were in communities connected to mod’s AI art, not political ones.

And this for some reason triggered a ban in all comunities. Not in 1 or 2. Moreover, it seems like this mod uses specialized tools, that allow to track downvotes on their content made by other users with ability to get their usernames. I may be wrong, but I don’t think that such tools are basic for moderators on Lemmy.

Edit: typo.

    I bet 10 dollars, that mod hasn’t even send a message to that person asking what that was a thing.

      One time I sent a dm to someone who was mass downvoting in my communities and just asked what was up. They then commented somewhere in some thread, saying that it was so inappropriate for me to send an email asking them why they were downvoting so many things. And lots of people were agreeing with them. So in my experience, sending a DM is not taken very well. So I don’t. I just ban.

      But hey, if you hate every single thing in my community, then you shouldn’t be upset about being banned from it. You hate it anyway, right? :)

        They hate it, spam it, then get mad they can’t look at it more.

        Really telling they want to harass and spew hatred, not wanting to “support muh artists” or “stop trump only by voting for diet trump” or whatever else these Brave and Noble Knights of being shitheels.

      When I DM people who are engaging in vote manipulation the best response I’ve gotten is silence and the worst responses I’ve gotten is lying, hostility, and slurs. And since so many people have decided to harass me personally over moderation, or just over AI. I won’t DM people over bans.
