If you go into c/traaa on lemmy.ml you can see that every post has one downvote on it, so there's one person regularly coming into c/traaa from another instance and downvoting all the posts lol (hexbear.net)

The big problem is that this person isn't yet banned from Hexbear if they're able to see and downvote our posts.

They might very well be banned. The downvotes are being seen from lemmy.ml. Bans basically function as a shadow ban - the user can still see and interact with the copy of the "content as seen through lemmy.ml", but their comments and votes aren't federated back to Hexbear.

Thanks for the correction, I was just parroting what I had seen further down this thread with regards to how bans work.

Still, I would like for the lemmy.ml admins to tell us who this user is so we can check. And in the case this transphobe has already been banned on Hexbear, I'd like for their admins to also take action on the lemmy.ml side because I'm sure they don't find this kind of behavior any more acceptable than we do.
