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.
Well they are saying there is no proof in your example. Which you yourself say.
The same thing happened to me though, and I too found it by accidentally tapping the Modlog button. I’m banned from 7 different communities on that instance. Except for a 3 day ban in one of the .ml communities I have never been banned anywhere. I am only guessing at why I was banned since the modlog seems to reference something that isn’t in the modlog as the reason. I messaged them twice and never got a reply.

I think it’s a big problem that Lemmy doesn’t notify when moderation actions are taken against you, and the modlog doesn’t even have an RSS feed so it’s not like you can subscribe to it either to get the notifications that way from your feed reader. You just kind of have to stumble across it, which is how I found out I was banned from the news community for “sock puppet account” for 3 days because the mod thought my accounts were sockpuppets, was an honest mistake sure, but still, I should’ve found out when it happened, not days after the fact.
