Midwest.social - the admin Seahorse famously banning people for downvoting them. Yeah definitely less well-known than the usual 3.

That was a one time occurrence, the admin apologized, reverted the decision, and I haven't heard of any similar incident since then.

I definitely recall multiple posts about that instance (and Seahorse in particular) in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com. One example is the downvoting one (https://lemmy.world/post/18414833), another even more authoritarian example is https://lemmy.cafe/post/10511187 where Seahorse banned the person who reported a comment calling for violence, stating "someone please kill [this person]" - mind you, he did not ban the person making that comment, but the person who REPORTED it. Making reports is apparently a bannable offense, mind you with no text in the sidebar stating that, and subsequent apologies to the admin going un-responded to (according to that post).

I remember the second one with the libbity lib lib

The first one seems someone throwing a fit. I've had it worst on other instances, I don't equal them with the three ones.

2 posts seem light to put them to the same level as the three others
