I’ve been banned without explanation for “vote manipulation,” but never did anything of the sort.

Feining ignorance isn't going to help you. Mods can see your votes, you decided that without any activity you were going to downvote hundreds of posts across a handful of communities, the mods noticed you doing this and banned your ass to put a stop to it. Here's a tip, mods can ban you without submissions because of a little thing known as Tesseract, want to stop getting banned? Start blocking communities you dislike instead of trying to brigade them.

Because we don't know the prompt, exact model, or seed to regenerate it exactly but without the shine. Also because they're a well known and well recognized troll in what is, an AI friendly instance, see their modlog. They've been banned from several communities for vote manipulation.

Agreed. If we allow horrible people to run wild in communities just because they're being polite communities would be toxic as fuck. There is no polite or acceptable transphobia, there is no polite or acceptable Zionism. That shit is a cancer that needs to be cut out of any community where you see it growing. I'm sick of seeing people stand up for and apologize for hateful evil people like that because they're "being poltie" or "just expressing 'opinions' man" fuck that.

That isn't what I originally banned them for. I updated the entry in the modlog to include a link to the original comment which got them banned but that comment doesn't help their cause should they want to get an appeal later.

Agreed, looks like a throwaway trying to push an agenda.

Thanks, just fixed it.

Here's mine, (right now anyway, doesn't stay the same for long) 185.220.101.21, come show up to... some datacenter in Germany...

Also I'm not sure if dbzer0 saves those persistently or clears them out often. If they do clear them then it probably doesn't matter much.

Content illegal under Austrian, German, or EU laws (e.g., child exploitation, incitement to hate, or terrorism advocacy) will not be tolerated.

To me that seems like they'd cater to Germany's legally codified definition of "antisemitism" AKA anti-Zionism. Maybe they won't do that but I don't trust them.

Agreed it's really disgusting. Zionism is absolutely atrocious and has no justification and instead of trying to realize and understand that they just try and frame or accuse us of being antisemitic. I think I'm blocking Feddit.

Now you have convinced me to block this entire instance because of this abhorrent behavior.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, troll.

@DrAwkwArD@lemmy.world You have no post or comment history whatsoever for two years, yet here you are in this thread downvoting comments. Sus...

@Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com This is what I mean when I say there is brigading here, people are using bots or their own alt accounts to vote on accounts

@Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com you should've given this idiot a perma. I've seen them before trolling in similar ways. They're absolutely not someone who benefits this community.
