    YDI, what did you expect from going there and downvoting all or even most of the contend there? You are aware that mass-downvoting is considered an act of aggression against communities, as it’s literally an attempt to downrank their content in the feeds. Many instance admins also don’t take kindly to this either, which is probably why they instance banned you from there. This instance that YPTB is hosted on is literally voting for a rule change banning brigading, and many more in the future will likely follow.

    If you dislike all of a community’s content, you should use the function to block communities. If you believe it is against the rules you should report it by reaching out to admins. Spamming downvotes won’t help in either case, it won’t make you stop seeing it, and it won’t address problematic or rule-breaking content. It just makes you seem like a bot or a troll.

        So if I ask an admin to look through your account’s DB voting history it wouldn’t show a ton of downvotes directed at some Dubvee community, right? I mean you can say yeah but you can’t exactly prove that. And I’ve found that people banned for downvote brigading argue that they weren’t doing it because they’re still under the impression mods and admins can’t see votes. Which we can, and have been for a long time.

          yeah go for it, I’d honestly love to see what I did. Please, if thats a thing you can do I’d be very grateful. This thread has been a fucking debacle. what a mistake to take part instead of lurking. If I did something wrong I’d love to know for future reference. fuck me this is exhausting.

            Nah, Instead I’m just going to go report your behavior to them. Your behavior here is more than ban-worthy on multiple instances. I’m sure @[email protected] would agree, as it violates the first Primary rule of lemm.ee “No Abusive Language”.
