Also, still can't block communities we've been banned from on the community page. What a joke.

It would be a nice improvement! Currently you can go to settings -> blocks and you can add a block.

Voyager let's you block a community by a long press on the community name

Probably PTB. It certainly isn't acceptable to ban a swath of people that down vote, and assuming your comment was topical and not some kind of crazy, that would apply to everyone thus banned.

The probably part is because there might be some outside chance a given individual might have also said something in a comment that warrantied a ban along with down voting. I don't think that's the case here, just don't have enough certainty to not acknowledge the possibility

It's funny how easy it is to get a nice list of bans over here.

Just downvote some stuff you don't agree with or think are low quality and eventually you'll find you're banned in several comms.

Call out tankies or make a negative comment about russia and you get some random lemmy.ml community bans.

I think it's mostly harmless, but can also see how it could be gamed to amplify some bad stuff.

People love their bubbles so in here they make even smaller bubbles.

Votes being public, I feel it is destined to be this way.
