Context: PugJesus often spams low quality posts across the dozen or so communities they mod, apparently downvoting low effort spam on my frontpage is trolling. The only other action in the modlog is a different ban for 74 years for “Mass downvoting innocuous content,” so it definitely seems they are just banning people that dislike their spam. Glad we’re not missing out on the reddit mod experience here.

    I don’t like sports content. Therefore I blocked all sports communities.

    I don’t live in the UK, or in Australia, or Canada, etc. Therefore I blocked all communities for individual specific places within those countries - London, Ontario, etc.

    The difference is - and remember you asked us, we didn’t just start DMing you out of nowhere - that I do not begrudge the very existence of those communities. If someone ELSE wants to discuss sports, then I believe that they should be free to do so. If someone ELSE lives in London, then same.

    Maybe I misunderstood and you were trying to state that the content that you downvoted was not merely irrelevant to you personally, but objectively bad? If so, it might have helped to have included links to some good examples, if you want help from this community to obtain an external judgement check on that determination. The vast majority of people here cannot see what content you recently downvoted - and even you might not fully recall, since 5-12 is quite a range that leaves a lot in doubt.

    But even if all that content was objectively bad, why be salty about being banned from a community that you claim to have no interest in seeing?

    What it LOOKS like - and I could be wrong but again, I am not DMing you out of nowhere, you ASKED for people’s opinions in this post - is that you would prefer that you be allowed to continue to shit on other people’s content, and in a manner that overrides the consent of the members of that community (proffered via the mod acting on their behalf) to be so shit upon. Think about it. If I am not entirely correct then what I am saying still has a point to it nonetheless. Or if you would rather, block me. You do have all the power here, decide how you want to wield it.

        Once again, no receipts, just “wrong”? Perhaps you could do us both a favor and simply block me, to avoid your having to be exposed to such facts that you seem to deem unpleasant?

          Because you are a troll and I’m not engaging. You are clearly a very sad person desperate for interaction judging by how you are up and down this thread replying to people with debatebro nonsense. You are not worth the receipts.

            Sorry that my allowing myself to get triggered and snarky got in the way.

            You literally asked for our help though… and many people in this post have explained why you got banned. We’re fine - you are the one feeling put upon, where your actions are causing consequences that you did not foresee. I hope that you feel more empowered now, you CAN ban people, and block whole entire communities, that you do not want to see content from - YOU are totally in control there!

            I think you can be much happier, if you take ownership of your choices in life… and their projected outcomes.
