What is Vote Manipulation? I’ve never posted on most of these communities, but I seem to be banned on all of lemmy.zip, and now some sci-fi communities on a Star Trek server.
edit: added modlog https://lemmy.zip/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=1813065
I’ve not dug through it, nor have I picked a side, but I figured I would share that a users votes are public
…So… Someone looked through my vote history and decided they didn’t like the way I voted?
Edit… It won’t load for me completely, but I have over 100,000 upvotes, and 2,000 downvotes. Someone might be overreacting.
More likely they looked through your interactions with their communities and saw you didnt contribute and only downvoted.
Have your tried appealing to the mods and admins?
No, I noticed a couple weeks ago, and didn’t really care. But I tried posting to an Elder Scrolls comm this morning and was reminded.
That’s my guess, but I have no info to prove it.
If you look at my modlog and voting record, you will see a very similar story as yours. With the exact same ban messages regarding “systemic downvoting” months apart, but with “different” moderators.
Some people create instances or communities with the explicit goal of creating an echo chamber for their opinions. These modlogs reflect much more upon them than the people they ban.
