Can someone help me figure out why I was banned from a few communities?

Checked my notifications to see this, I’m not even active in those communities.

The reason says ' Piefed Troll ' I’m not sure what that could be?

Can someone help me figure out why I was banned? I wasn’t very active in the last week I can’t imagine why I’d be banned, especially from these communities.

PTB. There have been some mods of the AI specific comms here on db0 that are more than a little ban happy, and who pre-emptively ban people for participating in anti-ai subs.

That said, we also have a number of users that have come to this sub to whine when they refuse to block the AI subs for themselves and just downvote everything from them.

There’s a huge amount of Brigadoon related to AI content. People downvote and stalk the communities instead of just blocking them. I think the heavy handedness is justified, and I’ve even been on the wrong side of it.

Here on MULTIVERSE we ban AI communities because we’re a vegan instance, but I can understand someone feeling an ethical obligation to take a more active role in downvoting AI.

Is there some sort of natural enmity between vegans and AI enthusiasts I’m not aware of?

I think it’s something along the lines of:

A lot of vegans are vegan for ethical reasons, i.e. animal products are cruel to animals and tend to harm the environment. So it makes sense they’d be against something so power-hungry which is also destroying the environment so we can have arrangements of pixels that look pretty I guess.

Sounds plausible, I suppose.
