This mod stated that they were the one behind the bans (https://feddit.org/comment/8930413)

So, a mod banning downvotes while using several sockpuppet accounts to vote multiple times.

      It was a specific politics community that was just made to talk about politics without UniversalMonk. This was back in the days when the [email protected] moderators, with their unerring instinct for making the worst decision possible on any given issue, were insisting that UniversalMonk hadn’t done anything wrong and his honored place in the community needed to be preserved and the whole community who held a different opinion about him just didn’t understand the bigger picture like they did.

        Glad that people made an entire community about being afraid of me though. Flattering! I. Am. Awesome.

        Because I didn’t do anything wrong.

        Another day, another mention of me by you. Friend, you’re obsessed. You need to let it go.

        We can be brothers, but you don’t have to mention me every single day. That’s clingy! lol
