Just happened to check the modlog right after it happened. Weirded me out to see my username at the top.
Because I so rarely downvote posts, I remembered the one: https://lemmy.today/post/59636388
I downvoted it because there was no context, just a list of names. No evidence. No nothing. It looks like harassment or trying to inspire a brigade.
I’d take it up with the mod but the strange callout list without context + OP’s extended modlog makes them someone I don’t want to DM.
In case it wasn’t obvious from my post history, no I’m not a zionist and I don’t defend zionists.
I even upvoted one of their recent posts! I’m gonna go take that vote back right now.
It’s been a whole thing. To recap:
The post was removed for harassment then mrdown was removed as a mod.
Shortly after that the same post was made on the duplicate piefed community, !apologiafreenews@piefed.social (moderated by mrdown) by account small44. It was quickly removed for harassment and the small44 account was banned.
However, the sidebar on the piefed community still features a list of disliked users. I wonder how long that will last.
