A rage bait post they just restored: https://lemmy.world/post/24282976. The initial removal was about rule 3 - no rage baiting. That rule has been removed.
Another rage bait comment against vegans: https://lemmy.world/comment/14535452
Ironically, I’m not even banned myself, as I participated (and generally don’t downvote that much anyway, whatever the community)
What isn’t really clear here is that users seems to have been banned for one single downvote? Seems a bit extreme.
Nope.
Only users not participating and either blanket downvoting multiple posts or downvoting specifically this ONE moderator’s post banning downvoting without participation were banned.
You are actually the best example here - you have participated and are not banned.
Coming to the community just to downvote is toxic. Since banned users don’t contribute, they have no interest being there.
You don’t like a certain community - block and move on with your life. Don’t behave like a dick.
i’m aware; i said YDI because thats the colloqualism in the sidebar. “you” means the modded users here :P
if you have evidence that it was truly a single downvote ban i would post that because that’s a real issue of algorithm manipulation — but way different from blanket downvoting bans.
