Context: PugJesus often spams low quality posts across the dozen or so communities they mod, apparently downvoting low effort spam on my frontpage is trolling. The only other action in the modlog is a different ban for 74 years for “Mass downvoting innocuous content,” so it definitely seems they are just banning people that dislike their spam. Glad we’re not missing out on the reddit mod experience here.

    I don’t see any specific rules for the grimdank community, but piefed.social does have this instance rule:

    2. Spam and Malicious Behavior

    • No spamming, flooding, or advertising without permission.
    • No scams, phishing attempts, or distribution of malware.
    • No brigading, vote manipulation, or coordinated harassment.

    I could see a case for arguing it’s vote manipulation, although I feel that’s kind of a reach. I just find it weird to get annoyed that someone is posting too much in a shitpost meme sub. Browsing the All feed and getting annoyed with that feels akin to going to a club and being annoyed there’s loud music. Just block the poster bothering you and move on.
