This guy is clearly snooping the downvoters as an instance admin and retaliating against them. Wouldn’t even have noticed if I didn’t stumble onto the modlog in Voyager by accident.
I might be of course wrong in my assumption. But I don’t remember ever interacting with anyone from that instance, I’m not subscribed to those communities and the dates correlate.
Piefed uses voting agents for this reason. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than this shit.
Isn’t dubvee a personal instance? The admin is probably using bans as blocks
Hm, apparently it has 43 users. Still
43 users is still a friends and family instance, maybe colleagues too. Look at his registration application criteria:
In the field below, say you’re from WV without saying you’re from WV.
While it might seem broad enough to include anyone who isn’t his friends or family it is vague enough that the intention is clear that he only wants friends, family, or colleagues to signup there.
Dubyakay isn’t in your example conversation. They seem unrelated
That’s me.

As an instance, we’re pretty heavily moderated in order to maintain a welcoming atmosphere that fosters civil discussion. We don’t “tone police” everything, but we do expect users, local and remote, to behave themselves and act in a rational, civilized manner. Those who cannot, local or federated, are quickly shown the door.
Absolutely No Extremism
Implicit Extremism:
- Patterns of upvoting or boosting posts/comments that explicitly praise, endorse, or advocate for violence (or any of the ‘explicit’ items above)
- Patterns of downvoting posts/comments that denounce violence or those that advocate for lawful/peaceful solutions.
