Looks like there's an automated bot banning based on downvote patterns, but from what I just learned, it can easily lead to false positives.

Currently it does not, if someone really dislikes a community enough to down vote a post and then go through the effort to open it and also downvote the only comment, it's a strong signal they are not a good fit for the community
My educated opinion as someone writing such automation, is that this is a very flawed approach. All it would take is a post against the community ethos, to ban community regulars who downvoted it. If it has no comment threshold and no validation of the general sentiment of the post in the comm, it can easily lead to false positives.
I strongly suggest you tweak this approach.
Interesting, I don't see neither lemmy.world nor lemmy.dbzer0.com
It's a bit on the light side. I suggested an integration with fediseer to help people discover instances matching their interests more: https://github.com/fedidb/issues/issues/64
However looking at that issue tracker, I don't think it's being monitored at all.
fucker snapped at me for saying it's impossible to tell if they deserve it.
This ban message only happens when someone downvotes a post then opens the post and downvotes all the comments.
Does it have a comment threshold? I.e. it feels it would be fairly easy to trigger if there's just 1 comment in the thread.
YDI. Just unhinged behaviour.
Disengage
You got instance banned, this is how this is displayed on the modlog. You also seem awfully upset about someone saying there's no way to tell if you're lying. You need to chill a bit.
Also Not being in those comms won't prevent you from downvoting everything in them.
Finally I didn't tell you not to post, nor did I speak as a mod. I just expressed my personal opinion. Your reaction to it however is quite the escalation.
Ps: our instance recently also voted to sanction downvote trolls. So yes, absolutely, some types of voting can get admin attention.
You sound like my kind of person 😅
These posts are very difficulty to evaluate, because it could be that the mods are paranoid, and reading the votes wrong, or the bans are legit and you're just lying about it. 🤷

You might have seen my lemmy tagginator which I announced here and I explain its purpose in its README.
As I explained there, the purpose is to help introduce discovery and more engagement on lemmy from the microblogging space.
Some things about it.
You can add extra tags
Normally the bot will always tag as #Piracy, but you can add more tags from those supported. The current supported tags are #Torrents, #Arrs, and #Usenet
Feel free to suggest other optional tags
You can skip the Tagginator
Simply put #SkipTagginator in your body to prevent the bot from posting. Use this if you don't think that post should be boosted in discoverability.
You can avoid seeing the bot
I see a lot of people downvoting the bot. Mates, just block the bot account. It's that easy.

Why think we have a disorder when we could be treated like a waste of life instead.

Nah mate, the way we defeat capitalism specifies on what we end up with, and if it is done with anarchist methods, there isn't going to be a state. And if we don't follow anarchist praxis, then we're not "doing it together", are we?
