Ban for upvotes is real here? (lemm.ee)

Recently I was simultaneously banned from a huge pile of "communities" with a mod commentary "for upvoting homophobic materials"(or "transphonic", I don't remember exactly). This kind of bans is the very reason why I quit Reddit. Is it normal here, or is it just some feral mod from Reddit?

P.S. Before you sidestep/offtop/ad-hominem here: no, I have nothing against LGBT folk and absolutely not interested in the theme.

I understand how to access it. I was meaning more so what sparks your motivation to investigate and/or share your findings?

To keep from weighing in on something in error.

You kinda hey in the habit of at least a cursory mod log check if you spend any time on powertrippingbastards, or the modabuse communities.

A shit ton of people will make claims of being sweet, innocent little users while have a long and nasty history of fucking with people.

So, you learn to either check mod logs, or be willing to take heat for jumping in too quickly.

In this post, OP is essentially saying they were falsely accused of something. The only way to know what the deal is, is mod logs and user history. On the surface it could be just like OP claims, particularly when dealing with .ml since they're known to be trippin.

Turns out, OP is a douchbag and can fuck right off, and the only way to know that is by checking. Blaze is one of those people that, for good or ill, devotes a ton of time and energy into making lemmy a useful and fluid experience. They pretty much always go the extra mile. Some folks are just like that. I'm way too lazy to do it regularly, but I gotta respect the ones that put that effort in

That's the train of thought indeed, thanks

Yes, I personally think that if we want this platform to ever reach 100k monthly active users, we have to demonstrate that this platform is better at dealing with trolls than Reddit. Public modlogs help with that, and using them in that way seems reasonable.
