Admin of discuss.online is mass banning for people using their vote in a way he doesn't like. Recommend defederation for bad faith participation in the fediverse.

We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things.
This just keeps getting more absurd.

This is mod abuse, turning the downvote button into an auto-self-ban button. The message is “If you disagree with me, you will be banned” Monitoring and banning users for using lemmy as intended to signal boost your opinion should be grounds to have all mod privileges removed. This behaviour undermines the integrity of the server and the wider fediverse.
lemmyusa.com is engaging in vote manipulation, suggest defederating unless it is addressed.

Banning anyone who downvotes is a clear attempt to foster a chilling effect on dissenting opinions. The mods and admins of this instance are putting their thumb on the scales in order to make their ideas appear more positively received than they actually are. Thanks for your attention to this.
Don't do it America
