This mod stated that they were the one behind the bans (https://feddit.org/comment/8930413)

So, a mod banning downvotes while using several sockpuppet accounts to vote multiple times.

    Even on niche corners of the internet, the right can’t avoid lying and vote manipulation.

        I loved how much their spelling kept devolving during that argument. It’s hard to take someone seriously (especially an internet moderator) when they type like an 8 year old or someone who still types on a mid 2000s phone with a physical keypad.

          I have a feeling like your picture of this person getting all worked up and typing increasingly unhinged is probably pretty much accurate to how that person appears.

    the imposter account in OP’s graphic that goes by @thesilentnickle@lemmy.zip, was created to make OP’s argument and get me banned. that imposter account was never a mod or poster or even voter (as far asi know) in my community.

    i reached out to the admin of lemmy.zip, and now imposter account has been removed/banned. u canwrite that admin for proof.

    OP started another thread two days ago bout people banning downvoters, “threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works is banning users for downvoting his posts.” https://lemmy.world/post/35942590

    OP feels strongly about downvotes. his account is 3 months old with 4 posts, and half of those posts are about being angry about bans for downvoting.

    interesting. ill continue banning for serial downvoting as rules fo my community say.

      Thats a lie, it was created a day prior to my involvement in any way.

      Most likely you decided to manipulate votes via sock puppets an addition to abusing your mod powers.

      Occams Razor points to you.

      Stop trying to cover me in your shit, you are fooling nobody.

        not a lie. it was created to do just what you posted. i banned u for serial downvoting and ur mad. and others are too. thats ok. laughing because some imposter account got me banned from places I don’t even plan to visit, isnt the flex u think it is. u don’t see me starting multiple threads trying to defederate them for it lol

        u also started another post on another instance complaining about some other mod banning people for downvoting. we get it. you don’t like the idea that serial downvoters can be banned. Some ban for it, some don’t. that’s Lemmy.

        Stop trying to make up shit, you are fooling nobody.

          I understand you are feeling cornered having been caught, but slandering others is not the adult response.

          Please try to learn and grow from this humiliation, you might become a better person.

              No one is buying it, and your constant clumsy attempts to divert the conversation are getting truly hard to watch.

      It was a specific politics community that was just made to talk about politics without UniversalMonk. This was back in the days when the !politics@lemmy.world moderators, with their unerring instinct for making the worst decision possible on any given issue, were insisting that UniversalMonk hadn’t done anything wrong and his honored place in the community needed to be preserved and the whole community who held a different opinion about him just didn’t understand the bigger picture like they did.

        Glad that people made an entire community about being afraid of me though. Flattering! I. Am. Awesome.

        • were insisting that UniversalMonk hadn’t done anything wrong

        Because I didn’t do anything wrong.

        Another day, another mention of me by you. Friend, you’re obsessed. You need to let it go.

        We can be brothers, but you don’t have to mention me every single day. That’s clingy! lol

      yes, which means that op’s post here isn’t really appropriate. Also, TheSilentNickel@lemmy.zip that is in his graphic isn’t me, it’s an imposter account created to get me banned and get revenge for being banned from my community.

    You’re fucking kidding me lmao.

    I experienced the exact same thing (on a very small scale) from that dbzer0 community that was going apeshit banning anyone who gave them downvotes and talking about “anti AI trolls.” It sure looked like they were batch-voting certain content, right away after it was posted from some handful of different accounts.

    I never said anything about it at the time, just moved on with life, because it (a) sounds like I’m just whining about getting downvotes for my own stuff which was when I noticed it (b) would create accusations that I’m making it up © would create inter-instance drama (d) didn’t even really continue within my awareness for any length of time I was aware of. But they definitely seemed like they were, at the very least, coordinating between a bunch of people to give out batches of votes to some content they wanted to manipulate in some way, and at worst, doing that but with sockpuppets.

    It kind of makes sense. The same kind of mentality that even cares enough about this in the first place and feels entitled to cheat the system a little bit to make it kind-of-impossible to give their own content “incorrect” downvotes, would probably also feel entitled to cheat the system a little more to issue “correct” votes in sufficient numbers to make sure the voting totals for content they cared about were “correct” according to what they wanted.

    “Try not to use any sockpuppet accounts on your way out” fuckin gold lmao

    Hilarious man.

        @eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com poking me claiming I’d been “caught lying” about something else needled me to actually look up what I was looking at back when this happened. Here’s this post:

         https://quokk.au/post/144284
           Source breakdown
             0.0% upvotes are from lemmy.dbzer0.com
             29.4% downvotes are from lemmy.dbzer0.com
           Time breakdown
             0-15m: +3 up, -7 down
             15-30m: +1 up, -2 down
             30-45m: +2 up
             45-60m: +2 up, -3 down
             75-90m: -3 down
             90-105m: +1 up
             105-120m: -2 down
        

        So what you’re looking at there is what percent of the total votes (up and down) came from a lemmy.dbzer0.com account, and then a breakdown of what came in during any given 15-minute window during the two hours immediately following the post.

        Having 30% of the votes come in from a single instance when the post was posted to a busy lemmy.world community is hugely sus, since the percent of Lemmy users who are even on dbzer0.com is so small compared with other instances. And then, that pattern of a huge influx of votes in one direction right after the thing is posted, with a ratio of up to downvotes (and a much higher volume in one direction only) that doesn’t match the ratio you see for most of the lifetime, is often an indication of voter fraud or coordinated voting. It’s actually even more tightly clustered than it looks like on there, those 7 downvotes all came in during one single 5-minute window of rapid fire downvoting, way more active than any time before or after that 5-minute window. It shows on the lemvotes page which is what the script that made that draws from. A lot of Reddit voter fraud was based on sort of “painting the tape” right when something was posted – people tend to upvote what’s already upvoted and downvote likewise, and it’ll have a corresponding impact on putting it in front of people or hiding it from them respectively.

        For reference if you want to see, here are examples of what a more normal layout of voting would look like:

          IIRC, at the time you were on a full “dbzer0 has turned power tripping” campaign

          7 downvotes, from actual different users from what I can see on the lemvotes page, isn’t voter fraud, it’s just people probably sharing that post in a group chat, and downvoting it, especially as the post itself is trying to spin some drama against them (it’s not clearly stated, but anyone aware of what was happening at the time would have known).

          I could create the same kind of posts about any instance in the same circumstances, be it SJW, LW, Blahaj, slrpnk, and get a similar result.

          I don’t have time now to dig into it right now, but from what I remember you were dead set against dbzer0 at the time. I guess that has changed since the post today about goat and !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works just banning everyone from dbzer0

    TL;DR: TheSilentNickel@lemmy.zip that’s in OP’s graphic isn’t me. It’s imposter account created to get me banned in revenge for being banned in my community. I’ve never had account on .zip and the imposter account has NEVER modded and NEVER posted to my community. Imposter account was created 3 days ago which is when my banning for serial downvoting really kicked in.

    TL;DR for the TL;DR: Imposter set up account with my username on .zip was butthurt because they got banned from my community. Did sketchy stuff. Got me banned. OP (also banned from my community) thinks it’s awesome, so posted graphic about it.

    I’m not on lemmy.zip. “TheSilentNickel@lemmy.zip” that’s in OP’s graphic was never a mod of my community, and has never posted to my community.

    I’m on feddit.org and lemmyusa.com.

    The imposter account on .zip was created 3 days ago…after I started to seriously ban people for serial downvoting.

    See the previous discussion about this. It was discussed to death earlier: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/53271052

    @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com this is just more of the same from the previous post in which i asked the person to disengage. OP’s post seems to really be laughing at “getting me” (even tho my bans are result of an imposter account by disgruntled ban-ee). I don’t feel this is a “power tripping mod” sort of post.

          i don’t agree with it at all. I don’t like his style, so I just blocked him. I don’t think he shoudl be kicked off of lemmy and i don’t think people should impersonate him. but i blocked him and moved on

            Wait wait wait what in the fuck.

            This is the same thing from my POV.

            … what the fuck is going on with the name?

            This is why I just refer to him as ‘the lemmyusa mod’.

            His name, its half gibberish for me.

            Is… my lemmy client busted or… what?

            … I am becoming more displeased.

        if you don’t wanna read the facts, nothign i can do to make you. not really in the vibe of this community though.

        Just really weird that you would carry on an issue from a previous post where everything was discussed and I asked you to disengage. And also, ur graphic is the result of, and has the names, of imposter account.

        This seems more of personal revenge quest, rather than a power tripping mod post.

            I didn’t say you were the one who created the imposter account. I said it was created by someone who was mad about being banned. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s a Lemmy user that is mad cuz he or she got banned from my community.

            alls fair in Lemmy-dom, but i’m pointing out that ur bragging and laughing about the wrong thing. I got banned becuase of an imposter account wanting revenge. You got banned becuase you serial downvoted in my community and then you asked that your instance defederate from my instance becuase you were mad about it.

            That’s what started this whole thing lol ur concerns were already brought up in the previous post that discussed these issues.

              This is a meltdown. I’m not interested in taking further part in it.

      Uhhhmmmm…

      Ok so… literally all that I understand about anything related to this is … in the thread I made.

      I don’t know why .zip has banned you from their instance / comms… beyond the stated reason in the OP image.

      Perhaps one of their mods or admins has decided that your actions do, in their view, constitute vote manipulation.

      Maybe, they have some kind of ip based, or other identifying evidence that you and SilentNickel are the same person.

      I don’t know, I am not them, I am again, not a mod or admin of anything…

      Maybe a .zip admin or mod will appear here!

      And this will all get more … fun…

      As a final note:

      Women Farting on Cakes is apparently a community.

      I am displeased that I am now aware of this.

      God damnit.

        don’t know why .zip has banned you

        No, that’s not waht I am saying. I’m saing that TheSilentNickle@lemmy.zip is an imposter account started 3 days ago, from someone who was banned in my community, so they started doing some stuff to purpously get me banned. lol

        TheSilentNickle@lemmy.zip was NEVER a mod of my community and has NEVER even posted to my community.

        He’s an imposter that was created 3 days ago. And me, the real me, has been banned becaues of him for vote manipulation. And this is OP’s post laughing about it.

        I’ve never been to .zip and I don’t care that I was banned from a bunch of communites that I never visited. But you were talking about imposter accounts, and I was showing another one. Look at OP’s graphic. TheSilentNickle@lemmy.zip is on there.

        So to sum up: Someone was mad that I banned them for serial downvoting. So they created an imposter account, to do some shenanigans, and op posted a graphic that I’ve suddenly been banned (as a result of imposters shenanigans)

        so i thought that was a fun follow up to ur whole thing about imposters and conspiracies and I told u that u were just being paranoid. Guess I was wrong! haha

        I’m still gonna keep banning for serial downvoting tho so all of this many pages of drama hasn’t changed anything lol
