    • Not wanting people to downvote what they don’t agree with
    • Easily consider things as brigading and vote manipulation
    • Easy censorship on specific subjects (including anti AI even though anti AI people are annoying from time to time)
    • Fear of not being able to criticize db0’s administration

      Also one of the YPTB mods is in a group with like 3 others who all:

      Flood user modlogs with unfounded accusations of vote manipulation and trolling.

      Think that people browsing All should know the size and history of every community before downvoting a single post. Also don’t understand what lurkers are and assume intent.

      Take downvoting very personally.

          Off the top of my head.

          unruffled at dbzero hypes up the conspiracy that everyone who gets banned for vote manipulation/whatever deserves it. I think they posted something about the brigade menace and treat a handful of down votes on something as the end of the world.

          cryptagion at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

          mystic mushroom at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes

          Also jet at hackertalks does mass bans for one or a few down votes

          Think there was one other too but can’t remember their name. The complaint is that they don’t understand what lurkers are (vote but don’t comment) or that people might browse all and not care about AI but down vote something because it is awful. Then they make ridiculous accusations and accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being a troll.

          If they just banned down votes and banned anyone who down voted with the reason ‘down votes not allowed’ then they would not be getting the widespread negative reaction that they are getting by accusing people of brigading or vote manipulation or ‘anti-ai harassment’ and all their other stupid and insulting made up ban reasons.

            Don’t forget that Jet spreads misinformation about meat based diets and sudo health science in multiple communities that they moderate.

              Yeah, he was the reason I dug in my heels against the stupid ‘if you don’t like it then ignore it’ bullshit which is fine for music and sports but down voting misinformation is one of the main purposes of the down vote!

                Exactly!

                Some of the shit getting posted deserves to be downvoted. It’s a feature here for visibility purposes. Pretending it doesn’t exist and banning people that use is just so asinine.

                Don’t want downvotes? Go to YouTube and get coddled by the corpos.

                  Yeah, but one time there was an actual user who did use bots to mass downvote with obviously randomly named bots so that means any time something gets down votes it is brigading and vote manipulation!

                  Small AI communities nobody wants getting four down votes is comparable to LGBTQ+ communities getting dozens or hundreds of downvotes from actual brigading!

                  If you don’t like it ignore it, and also I’m going to follow anyone who doesn’t like my slop around and harass them!

                  Did I forget anything?

                    Yeah I block communities I have no interest in participating with.

                    People also need to remember it’s just a number. Magical internet points as they say.

                    LGBTQ+ should be protected because they are actively being targeted for death threats and persecution. I wouldn’t equate that to some Ai posts getting a few downvotes because the general consensus of Ai is it outputs Slop.

                    Using bots to downvote is absolutely pathetic but you can’t be online expecting literally every person to agree with you or let alone read every community’s rules before scrolling and voting.

            Those 3 shitheads are fucking pathetic.

            You can also add m_f at discuss.online & Flatworm7591 at lemmy.dbzer0 for bandwagoning with cryptagion for their pro Ai crusade.

            Jet also spreads misinformation about meat consumption and sudo health bullshit 🤮

            downvoting is against the rules of those communities. if you don’t read the rules before interacting with a comm, that isn’t my problem. why not make a post in YPTB?

              Downvoting being forbidden is dumb and unfair

              That would be actual vote manipulation by mods

              People can’t see the community rules when browsing All you fucking donkey.

              Also, down voting is NOT against the rules unless they were changed recently recently.

                downvoting has been against the rules from the start. and again, it’s not my problem if you didn’t read the rules. you were banned according to them. if you don’t like it, that’s really tough.

              Yes, unruffed is the one YPTB mod who is cahoots with the other three mods (of other communities) that are all doing the mass bannings, and even using each other’s moderation as an excuse for more bans.

              Example of mass banning (multiple communities, many users in a short time span)

              Note I am perfectly fine with the last one for no down voting allowed for that community. It is stupid and rules don’t show in the main feed, but no down voting is in the rules and they were banned without being accused of more than what they did.
