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.

Votes don't matter, and neither does what random moderators think. You can ban anyone for any reason, or no reason. Don't sweat it. Keep voting how you like, any way that's convenient and makes sense for you. As long as you're not setting up bot farms to vote for you, anyone who is put off by it is just that kind of person.

I was banned by an admin of lemmy.ca, I wouldn't consider them a random moderator.
