Both mods are also moderators of [email protected]; they are admins, this is their instance, and they are engaging in vote tampering to boost their instance and its communities over the rest of the fediverse.
Is it “vote manipulation” to click a post’s downvote button once? I think it’s disingenuous to frame it like this in the modlog.
I’d argue that the no-downvotes-rule itself is a form of vote manipulation.
The reason is bullshit, for sure. They should have pointed to the comm rule instead.
