On Digg there's some drama because someone registered the community “/wallstreetbets,” and the admins took it from him and gave it to one mod of the subreddit “r/wallstreetbets.”

One day later I see this discussion about how Reddit registered trademarks for some high-profile subreddits.

This could be relevant for the Threadiverse.

Except for all the times the mod team has shown people making accounts to DM them when they get banned from it, sure no one does it.

People get really hated over images on the internet.

Being right some of the time doesn't mean they're right all the time. Cops arrest drunk drivers and domestic abusers sometimes, but that doesn't mean they can be trusted when they turn their bodycams off and ask us to trust their interpretation of an event. Mods do not wield the same power as cops, but I believe the analogy holds water with regards to the issue of trust.

You're right, banning people who venture into communities to start shit is a good analogy to police brutality.

IDK man, I just got banned from there today for downvoting a post that I just thought was bad - I didn't even realize it was from an AI slop community until I got the ban notification.

Seems like maybe it's hypersensitive mods in this case.

Maybe tailor your feed.

For one bad post? I don't even mind the content generally, I just didn't like that post and they're so sensitive they couldn't handle it. That's really not on me if one downvote is all it takes to trigger them to ban me from five different communities.

I'm sure it was "just one". For sure.

It's almost like you can just go check and see that it was literally just one:

FYI they have tools that tell them all the downvotes you've ever sent in that community, so if you saw one bad post a month and downvoted it without knowing it's AI, their tools will make it look like you're a "downvote troll", whatever that means.
