A few days ago my main account ( @irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) and a few of my alts were banned for vote manipulation. (https://lemmy.ca/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=20988171)

While i did upvote 2 posts with the alts, they were both by a friend, and I knew the posts were going to get downvoted anyway. I have since removed the votes (that i know of).

There could be a few posts I upvoted by mistake on an alt without realising I already voted on it.

lol total overreaction IMO, because votes on lemmy don't do much other than helping with sorting/displaying. don't get me wrong: i think it's a very cool feature, but even if someone actually up- or downvoted with multiple accounts, it's very irrelevant at the end of the day.

OP, is this your alt?

No?

I give them all the same name and profile picture because it seems deceptive not to.
