I logged into Kbin today to see 18 notifications where the same guy banned me from all of their magazines for downvoting them.

I was only subscribed to 1 of those magazines, but it’s still annoying to wake up to 18 ban messages from someone who got easily angered from a downvote.

(Side note: IMO, this is why being able to see downvotes is bad. Even if anyone could see them by spinning up their own instance, that’s a lot of work compared to pressing 2 buttons.)

I’ve blocked the guy, but is there anything that can be done to stop this from proliferating across the site?

    Wow, banned from a magazine or banned on the entire kbin.social? If an admin is doing that, I’d leave asap and open an account elsewhere.

      As OP said, it was 18 Magazines, not the entire site.

      Ernest is our site admin over here on kbin.social, and he’s cool. A bit over worked, but cool. He’s also the dev of kbin.

        Well here’s your answer OP. There’s no stopping it. You pissed off the one guy you shouldn’t piss off lol.

          But it was not ernest who banned OP. Ernest was mentioned as being the site admin, but as you can see in the screenshot, someone else banned OP.

        Yep, there are plenty of accounts like that. They must see it as some kind of land grab, not realising that creating redditsubclone1, redditsubclone2 etc on instance A that are empty does not mean they own those names across the fediverse.
