I downvoted maybe 3 posts for being “unwise”, but I guess that’s not allowed. Looked up the mod and they banned a wave of people, all for “…”. Good stuff.

This “banned for using the functions of the website” shit is really getting out of hand. Unless it’s unequivocal support for every post, you’re out. It’s ridiculous out here.

Also! We still can’t block communities we’ve been banned from? Wtf?

    But sure I’ll bite: so what if someone did that though - if that was their choice, then stupid as it might be, and regardless of how it may leave no content leftover after the downvote brigades got through with their efforts, but even so, if someone CHOSE that for themselves, then you have not explained why they should be prevented from screwing themselves over in that manner?

    Oh, no I haven’t said people should be prevented from downvoting. It’s simply that on Lemmy, because you can be held accountable (righly or wrongly) by community mods for how you downvote on their community, that it mitigates compulsive downvoting.
