I sent the MOD this message:

Hi XXXXXXXX, I just noticed that you banned me 2 hours ago from c/Science for Spam. I am confused. I mostly lurk and haven’t commented or posted anything in several months. I definitely don’t post ads or spam. Can you please let me know what happened?

The only reason that I noticed that I am banned is that I watched that (long-ish) video about Brainrot on the feed and the top comment is asking for a tldw.

    Notorious amongst whom? I don’t spam votes, I evaluate each item on its merits as I see them.

      There’s a post about you on the mildly infuriating comm rn

      I don’t spam votes, I evaluate each item on its merits as I see them.

      Your apparent 3rd strike for vote spamming suggests otherwise

      Please consider curating your feed rather than downvoting content you don’t like

        “Vote spamming” is actually the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard on this platform. Oh no, don’t engage in the primary way the platform allows! How horrible!

        And you people wonder why lemmy hasn’t and will never actually take off?

        My feed is perfectly well curated. But I also downvote (and report) a lot of spam, like actual chatgpt-generated ad spam.

        (I also downvote “deleted by creator” comments, but that’s just to push them down in the comment trees, because they’re just noise. They changed the behavior a while back to leave that instead of actually deleting it when it had no replies, and I wish they’d revert that change.)
