Mod Abuse:

https://lemmy.world/modlog/1432313?page=1&actionType=All

The instance has 3 active subs, it’s unlikely the admins are not also the mods engaging in this.

Banning anyone who downvotes is a clear attempt to foster a chilling effect on dissenting opinions. The mods and admins of this instance are putting their thumb on the scales in order to make their ideas appear more positively received than they actually are.

Thanks for your attention to this.

EDIT: the mod responsible for these actions has been caught voting multiple times using a variety of sockpuppet accounts.

    They banned me too. This feels like obvious vote manipulation to me. A small group of individuals or one prolific sock puppeteer is spreading conservative news articles of the Heritage Foundation. People are rejecting the message but mod(s) want to strong arm their opinion onto the rest of us. Hiding behind “serial downvoting” is an excuse so they can ban any dissenting opinions while screeching about the left shutting them down. They’ve been running that same bag on lemmy.today for as long as DonaldJMusk has had an account. They must have gotten tired of the downvotes and rebooted their comm somewhere else under a new name to liven things up. But it failed.

    They’re dragging the name of the original !conservative2@lemmy.today through the mud. The comm wanted to make a space for non-MAGA Republicans and saw a bit of success (compared to other GOP comms) and now it’s just another source of Heritage/MAGA propaganda.
