The mod banning these users is the same mod who made the posts they downvoted. This is mod abuse, turning the downvote button into an auto-self-ban button.

The message is “If you disagree with me, you will be banned”

Monitoring and banning users for using lemmy as intended to signal boost your opinion should be grounds to have all mod privileges removed. This behaviour undermines the integrity of the server and the wider fediverse.

    If you feel compelled to try to silence people and try to justify yourself based on your value system, yes, you are being authoritarian.

    Also, it’s curious that you only managed to resort to a strawman as a response for me calling you out on your behavior. Surely you can do better than that…

        Cool, I will take this repeated strawman as as a sign that you simply can not address the discussion at hand, and that each of your responses is making the case for anonymous voting harder to support.
