Some guy I've never spoken to sent me a message threatening that he would never speak to me again and that he would excommunicate me from his dull and unpopular subreddit. (infosec.pub)

This friendly warning really has me rattled. He primarily talks about the fediverse. If he never talks to me again, it would be really bad. Unless I can find a way to make amends for my wrongs, I'll have to face the consequences. What do I do?

A ban for voting in a certain way? WTF is this reddit?

Mods can't see votes on reddit afaik, otherwise I'm sure they would

There was some reddit drama blow up a year or two ago where admins were banning if you upvoted people that used a banned word or phrase. I don't reddit anymore but I saw some posts here about it.

Fair point, that did happen and likely still does, I guess I was mostly just thinking about mods getting offended at people who downvote them and retaliating.
