I’ve recently noticed that downvotes don’t stick for the community Greentext@sh.itjust.works.

Bug or design choice? Is there a work around? My account is with lemmy.world - do I need to log into a different instance to have full downvote capability?

SOLVED - they banned me for downvoting their fascist frogs

    You’re banned, happened 3 days ago

    Looks like you got one from 30rock too, that’s how I figured it out when it happened to me.

    Some communities ban you if you down vote posts but aren’t subscribed…

    Especially if a mod made the post.

    It’s incredibly childish, but they do it because they’re mad their post got downvoted

        Yeah, just block the sub so you stop seeing it, and if the mod has a bunch of other ones, just block the mod or it’ll probably keep happening for their other subs.

        But the ones who tend to do this, only care about their own posts. So if you don’t see their posts, they won’t ban you from anything else.

      I have a question can mods see your votes. Can they see which subs you have and which communities you have blocked?

        I’m not sure if instance matters, but yeah they can see how people vote in their sub and if they’re subscribed. It’s not like they can see anything outside of their subs tho.

        That being said I got asked to mod a sub and it didn’t exactly come with a handbook. I’ve just never put any effort into finding out how to do that stuff because it seems incredibly pointless.

        Lemmy is small enough that a shit ton of people browse by all.

          Mods can’t, only admins can see votes

            Then how are those two subs that banned OP for down voting able to see he was down voting to ban him?

            Like…

            There’s blatant evidence that yes, they can see that…

            And your response is “nuh huh” and you expect that to matter?

            Hell, I had one mod DM to “let me know” he could see I down voted his comments and to remind me that down votes aren’t for disagreeing.

            I just blocked them, and that’s anecdotal. But look at the mod logs for either of those subs, they do it fairly often, and I’m sure others do as well.

            You’re just wrong man, let it go, no one cares.

              The mod was either also an admin or asked an admin. You can even see it in the ban reasons from OP. The most recent ban mentions that a site admin is responsible for the ban.

                  It says it in the reason portion.

                  reason: Community ban from site admin. Consider curating your feed instead of downvoting all of the content within a community

                  I was specific about my wording. I didn’t say an admin did the ban. I said the ban mentions that a site admin was responsible.
