When having to admit their fault the moderator started looking for arbitrary reasons to ban me. Such as not using the exact terminology of the Amnesty report. Which does not call it genocide.
The moderator is also watching user votes, and calling out people not voting with him.
I was temp-banned. The only awful experience I had was the temp-ban, which was over the admins deciding that downvoting things you disagree with is, apparently, against the rules (when they want it to be).
Wait is that true? They banned you for downvoting?
Downvoting comments I disagree with was considered “downvote trolling”
Can you link the thread so we can read through it?

It’s massive, fair warning.
I’ll give it a read, but I’m a little unsure as to the context going on
I mentioned that I clicked on a user’s profile after seeing them comment because I was interested in what they were up to lately, and that I found it to be mostly bad (unsurprisingly). Things that I read on their profile that I disagreed with and found sufficiently vile to regard as a negative to even be said, I downvoted.
Said user went to the dbzer0 admins to accuse me of ‘downvote trolling’ for this, admitting that I had only downvoted comments I disagreed with. The dbzer0 admins agreed that downvoting comments that one disagrees with (if the person being disagreed with is one of Their’s™ ) is ‘downvote trolling’ and temp-banned me.
Have you thought about posting that to this community? Seems like a good example of PTB
Nah. The only reason I came to this thread was because I was pinged. I generally stay out of dbzer0 comms at this point. As the audience here shows, Dbzer0 comms are quite alright with genocide and atrocity denial these days, which is unfortunate. I don’t remember it being like that at first, but maybe I just didn’t see it.
