I was banned for "blatant vote manipulation" (anarchist.nexus)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

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.

everyone here on the Fediverse has already implicitly agreed that vote manipulation is a violation against the principles of trust. In plain English it’s just scummy and gross.

Speak for yourself. A vote is a reaction. It's a fun social interaction. You have loaded it up with a bunch of mythos and bullshit that it just cannot bear. Get a fucking grip. You're being abusive. You're of course welcome to ban whomever you like for whatever reason you like, but trying to make this a moral issue is fucking shitty.

Didn't read further.
