Or more likely they weren’t actually being lazy, they knew they needed to leave room for swelling and healing. The surgeons that did tight stitches thought theirs was better because it looked better immediately after the surgery.

Surgeons are actually pretty well known for being arrogant, and claiming anyone who doesn’t do their neat and tight stitching is lazy is completely on brand for people like that.

Its gonna cost you…

One downvote says nothing, several indicate a pattern.

Not spread over months they don’t.

It takes literally microseconds to to up or down vote as opposed to writing a multiparagraph comment about how other people are ‘down voting wrong’.

The default version of up and down votes are described in the lemmy docs, which I agree with, and this instance and community do not have rules that supersede it.

Lemmy uses a voting system to sort post listings. On the left side of each post there are up and down arrows, which let you upvote or downvote it. You can upvote posts that you like so that more users will see them, or downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

It was such a ridiculously irrelevant point to make that the post was worse for having it. If you feel my comments are the same, feel free to down vote them.

I subscribe and am usually filtersd to subscriptions but also switch to All occasionally to help discover new communities.

Several over months, whoop de fucking doo.

Brazil shuts BYD factory site over ‘slavery’ conditions

From 2016 and still true today:

Chinese Government Subsidies Play Major Part In Electric Car Maker BYD’s Rise

Yeah, subsidies and other benefits from governments exist but China is going all in.

Perfection!

If one becomes active on another instance with the same name it is highly likely the same mods will just ban the other user account too, so moving isn’t helpful.

Maybe I’m indifferent to the majority of the content they spew but there is one really shitty post that I down vote that isn’t worth blocking the feed over.

Keep in mind that the pattern that resulted in the OP being banned from over a dozen communities was down voting a single post. That would be triggered if the one post they down voted was literal spam or racist or sexist or any other terrible subject.

Or someone accidentally clicks on the down vote button with their fat thumb unintentionally. The mod assumes malicious intent and overreacts.

Thank you for limiting your bans to people who were actual serial down voters and not just someone who happened to down vote a single post.

When you see a wall of bans from a dozen communities it looks nearly identical to site wide bans.

I don’t even see why OP is angry with being ban from communities they obviously don’t like. I seems like those are AI communities and when OP sees an AI post on All they downvote.

OP down voted ONE post. Not even one post per community.

If they weren’t putting accusations of vote manipulation and other ridiculous claims in the modlog it wouldn’t be nearly as annoying.

It also adds some annoying steps to the end user who would want to block those communities since banning means you can’t just click on the post and block the community in the default browser interface. Once banned it is necessary to go to setting and block the community manually.

Since they made a bunch of tiny, barely used communities it also means that they trickle into the feed and you have to block each one individually. They are spamming AI communities and then being dicks about it.

Then there is at least one that expands this to other communities they mod that don’t have anything to do with AI. I like the Dem TankieJerk, but got banned for not liking AI. Not harassing, just down voting one or two AI slop posts in some other community and not feeling bad about it.

Expense is not the only way to make something hard to get, and gun laws have a long history of being made in a way that intentionally or unintentionally makes it difficult for minorities.

Many of the historical laws they found were virulently racist, restricting access to weaponry for enslaved people, Indigenous Americans and other racial minorities.

Downvotes because they hate the community and everything it stands for.

If the community is promoting misinformation or hate then I would hope this is considered the right thing to do.
