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.

Wow, you're calling me out too and I'm not even a mod any more. Keep that powdered wig high and lice-free, Robespierre.

hah 'Robespierre' - Good one, probably.

Just funny you are serial downvoting in defence of banning people for serial downvoting :D

Let me guess, hypocrisy is only cool when you do it.

I downvoted your comments because I'm petty and it's fun and it doesn't matter very much. We started out all high minded and now we're here, in the mud, slinging mud, like the Jacobins. So you win. Here's a box of wheat starch for your 'do, live it up.

No I agree, your vote is yours and there's no bad vibes from me for using it how you see fit.

But I mean, come on, can't you see the joke in down voting several of my comments all at once, because you don't agree with my opinion that down voting several things at once is actually fine to do?

Either way, I wasn't trying to get your hackles up, so sorry if I did.
