Ban for upvotes is real here?
Recently I was simultaneously banned from a huge pile of "communities" with a mod commentary "for upvoting homophobic materials"(or "transphonic", I don't remember exactly). This kind of bans is the very reason why I quit Reddit. Is it normal here, or is it just some feral mod from Reddit?
P.S. Before you sidestep/offtop/ad-hominem here: no, I have nothing against LGBT folk and absolutely not interested in the theme.
Moderators can see votes on posts in communities they mod.
Edit: Take a look at this user's modlog, they are an actual transphobe.
Yeah man seems like the problem is you. Maybe you just suck.
You got banned from trans friendly communities for making transphobic comments, then upvoting other transphobic comments. The rest of your removed comments speak volumes about your character, so I suspect the rest of the bans are preemptive. I don't blame them. Reddit is probably a better choice for you.

Edit: Choice "I'm not against LGBT" comment quote -
So... People who couldn't keep from shouting about their "pronouns" irritated bystanders so much that they were ready to vote even for Trump just to shut up those crazy pronouns-bearers :)
Right.
Edit2: mein Gott, there's more! Totally no LGBT issues here.
Your response to this pro-Trans meme about the world being a better place with Trans folk in it:
BUT WITHOUT YOU IT WOULD BE EXCELLENT!
Right2. Did you not realize mod logs are public?
Thank you for documenting
oh yea, I remember your name! someone posted a pro trans meme saying "the world is better with you in it." and you responded something like, 'it would be even better without you'. I hope you get banned again.
That most likely wasn't a moderator, but an administrator.
The ability to view votes in communities for mods is not available in the latest release of Lemmy yet. That will come in the next release, 1.0.0.Though I can't see any modlog entries for your account. Did you get instance banned and created a new account here?
It is
Adding ability for mods to view votes. (#3027)

Oh, didn't notice that. Thanks for the info. Regardless, it wasn't a ban from a moderator.
Yes, this is a new account.
Okay.
I assume your previous account was @Lembot_0001@lemm.ee, which was instance banned from lemmy.ml. The administrator was davel. You can try and ask him if it bothers you, maybe even appeal your ban. Your new account most likely will be instance banned again if you try and engage in lemmy.ml communities again, given your username is pretty much the same.
Honestly, we got lots of active alternatives to lemmy.ml communities, as the majority here hates lemmy.ml. Don't be surprised if you get banned from lemmy.ml again. Check out !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
This place is exactly as shitty as Reddit is. Just "decentralized". I have already mentioned this elsewhere. Don't you dare not being part of some circle jerk or to have a slightly unpopular opinion. And no, I'm not talking about LGBT rights nor anything related to it.

See, you're part of the problem, because you likely agree with banning/removing people even for slightly discordant opinions. And about the content removed for racist slur, I didn't have an idea that "Japs" was such a thing (not everybody is from USA, nor a native english speker, you know...). If our cared to read the entire thread, it would have been clear to you.
Congrats for having the time to virtually stalk me, btw.
Bummer. And do we actually have some more or less free-to-speak alternatives? I'm not some kind of religious fanatic assembling a nuclear bomb. I just want some reasonable freedom to say what I want. Nothing special.
You know what? I'm gonna use this opportunity to preemptively block you. Bye.
.ml is notorious for arbitrary bans so I wouldn't think too much about it. There are active alternatives for most (but probably not all) communities hosted there. Criticizing Russia there is also a great way to get in trouble with the admins because they're explicitly tankies.
Yes banning people for votes, fraudulent, excessive, or made seeminly in bad faith is a thing. Mods can view votes these days but also admins have been able to view them for a long time.
