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.
Hey man, you’re the one who turned up a day late to a thread with nearly 300 comments, didn’t read shit and made a b-line for the OP to make frankly fucking deranged accusations about authoritarianism, while inferring you somehow know the ‘kind of person’ I am on the inside.
Respectfully, bother someone else with your crackhead bullshit.
