Honestly, here on Lemmy upvotes and downvotes mean less than ever… I’ve kept my good habits from Reddit, and I don’t use multiple accounts to ever inflate my votes, but I’m not even sure it’s against the rules to do so.
So you very well may have been dealing with one lonely dude on the internet stacking his own votes.
For what it’s worth, my comment that I got banned for was actually upvoted a decent amount. I wonder if they are going to track those people’s upvotes through kbin and ban those people, too? The Fediverse is definitely a very interesting frontier right now.
Agreed on all fronts and the one dude theory is certainly possible, although the flood of hateful comments was jarring. Karma has never mattered to me but -305 overnight was nothing short of impressive.
I came to Lemmy expecting better honestly but so far my experience has been a more volatile version of Reddit. You’re right though, it’s an interesting frontier. I hope more rational “free-speech within reason” instances pop-up at some point because so far the ones I’ve heard of were defederated from popular ones.

I wonder if kbin is any better.
