MODERATORS
The creator of Pleasant Politics made an automod bot that will preemptively ban someone if they receive a high ratio of downvotes anywhere on lemmy, not just in its own community. It's to prevent bad actors and trolls from being able to post in there at all.
Notice the link in the ban reason of your screenshot, which explains what it is and how it works.
That is an extremely goofy way to moderate a community.
I wouldn't use it for an entire server, but It was an interesting experiment for that one community, IMHO. I think the lack of solid moderation tools on lemmy at the time influenced the motivation behind it.
I guess if it's primarily intended as an experiment that makes sense.
