It’s good he was banned, then

What was he even posting?

Doesn’t Mastodon?

Who is he and why is he doing it? Does anyone know?

He’s certainly dumb.

The other dumb fucks pushing the issue for whatever reason

And then we have to deal with the community collectively adopting shitty or evil ideas and enforcing them, shutting down victims or anyone who opposes them. So who checks the community? Who protects the individual?

They shouldn’t keep upvotes either honestly.

Isn’t that something that mods need to take care of though? Why should that burden be on the community members?

People can and will build botnets to artificially upvote their posts, and downvote opponents. It’s too easily abused.
