The mod banning these users is the same mod who made the posts they downvoted. This is mod abuse, turning the downvote button into an auto-self-ban button.

The message is "If you disagree with me, you will be banned"

Monitoring and banning users for using lemmy as intended to signal boost your opinion should be grounds to have all mod privileges removed. This behaviour undermines the integrity of the server and the wider fediverse.

I don't get it. Is he like... doing an Elon Musk impression...? Is this performance art...? I don't get it

Or maybe he is... No... It can't be... Elon?

I wouldn't be shocked.

Wow, not even making up a lie, just straight up saying they're banning for down voting.

kind of the dark side of the reddits/lemmys. Mods just doing whatever they like. btw, fuck Elon musk, that guy sucks. and fuck threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works. What a snowflake douchebag.

Vote visibility is off by default (IIRC) on reddit so at least there folks wouldn't be banned just for downvoting someone.

I remember blocking this account on my personal feed and wondering if I did so prematurely. I'm thinking I made the right decision at the right time.

So it's literally just Elon.
