According to this comment, there is a rule in that community about downvoting:
Don’t downvote because you disagree. Doing so repeatedly may result in a ban.
BTW, you should edit your post, all are bans of the !discuss@discuss.online community and are based in a community rule, not an instance rule. At least, I got the impression reading your post that it was an instance policy instead of a community one.
According to Kaja Kallas twit, "Mr. Maduro lacks legitimacy and [the EU] has defended a peaceful transition". In my book, this means support to the USA invasion/special operation.
I think that "Mass downvoting" is a valid reason for a community ban, but I would expect a temp ban if it is not a repeating behavior.
But it isn't trolling by itself. That bad qualified ban could have a bad impact in others mods or admins evaluating the OP behavior.
May be in the future, communities should choose who can vote (subscribed, instance members or any user) and then only been show in the corresponding feeds. But I suspect that most of the mods that ban downvoters don't want that they community posts don't be shown in the All feed.
It's up to the community mods to curate non-strong rule breaks, as it seems the case of people engaging with it, with only systemic downvoting.
It seems that there is only one active mod. But, based in what you explain about your relation with davel and the sanction being a community permaban, I think that davel should have let the mod or other admin respond to the rule break.
The match was with the Basque Country National team, yesterday in San Mames Stadium, Bilbo.
They will play with the Catalan National Team this Tuesdays in the Lluís Companys Olympic [^1] Stadium, Barcelona, with an expected attendance of around 20,000-30,000 people.
[^1]: Curiosity: The stadium, also knows as Montjuïc Olympic Stadium, build in 1929, has been used the 'Olympic' title since the 1936 People's Olympiad that were an anti-fascist alternative to the fascist and official Olympiad games of Berlin.
In addition to Antifa Ost [Hungarian], Rubio designated three other groups as terrorists: the Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front of Italy; and in Greece, the groups Armed Proletarian Justice and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense.
The change of position of some EU members may be related to their interest in plundering the Western Sahara fish^1 and last year's sentence of the EU Court of Justice that ruled that EU-Morocco trade and fisheries agreements cannot be applied in Western Sahara and its natural resources^2.
Again, No. Algerian, by example, don't recognize the State of Israel, and it's not the only that not recognize it. I expect that they don't accept their passports (but I can't confirm it).
Jordan historically has had a strange relation with Palestine and the PLO. A pro-Palestine population with their elites and monarchy fearing them. Then, I will be not surprised if they changed their mind with the recognition, that was done just after the Oslo accords.
But my comment was to explain that I disagree with your claim that’s just fucking stupid to use quotes for 'Israel' and that the generalization you used to justify your position was not accurate.
YDI.
