Moderators can see votes on posts in communities they mod.
Edit: Take a look at this user's modlog, they are an actual transphobe.

MODERATORS
You got banned from trans friendly communities for making transphobic comments, then upvoting other transphobic comments. The rest of your removed comments speak volumes about your character, so I suspect the rest of the bans are preemptive. I don't blame them. Reddit is probably a better choice for you.

Edit: Choice "I'm not against LGBT" comment quote -
So... People who couldn't keep from shouting about their "pronouns" irritated bystanders so much that they were ready to vote even for Trump just to shut up those crazy pronouns-bearers :)
Right.
Edit2: mein Gott, there's more! Totally no LGBT issues here.
Your response to this pro-Trans meme about the world being a better place with Trans folk in it:
BUT WITHOUT YOU IT WOULD BE EXCELLENT!
Right^2^. Did you not realize mod logs are public?
Thank you for documenting
oh yea, I remember your name! someone posted a pro trans meme saying "the world is better with you in it." and you responded something like, 'it would be even better without you'. I hope you get banned again.
Yeah man seems like the problem is you. Maybe you just suck.
That most likely wasn't a moderator, but an administrator. ~~The ability to view votes in communities for mods is not available in the latest release of Lemmy yet. That will come in the next release, 1.0.0.~~
Though I can't see any modlog entries for your account. Did you get instance banned and created a new account here?
It is
Adding ability for mods to view votes. (#3027)
https://join-lemmy.org/news/2025-04-08_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.19.11
Oh, didn't notice that. Thanks for the info. Regardless, it wasn't a ban from a moderator.
Yes, this is a new account.
Okay.
I assume your previous account was @Lembot_0001@lemm.ee, which was instance banned from lemmy.ml. The administrator was davel. You can try and ask him if it bothers you, maybe even appeal your ban. Your new account most likely will be instance banned again if you try and engage in lemmy.ml communities again, given your username is pretty much the same.
Honestly, we got lots of active alternatives to lemmy.ml communities, as the majority here hates lemmy.ml. Don't be surprised if you get banned from lemmy.ml again. Check out !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
account was @Lembot_0001@lemm.ee
Yes, it was.
The administrator was davel. You can try and ask him
Arguing with moderators/administrators is mostly just a humiliating waste of time. I'll pass :)
Lemmy.ml has been known for arbitrary bans for a while; https://feddit.nl/post/16246531
~~You'll be fine on lemm.ee~~
That said, seems like you're a transphobe, so you'll probably get banned from lemm.ee as well
You know what? I'm gonna use this opportunity to preemptively block you. Bye.
Yes banning people for votes, fraudulent, excessive, or made seeminly in bad faith is a thing. Mods can view votes these days but also admins have been able to view them for a long time.
This must have been with an alt account of yours? I don’t see any actions taken against your account in the mod log.
Yeah, looking up the modlog for Lembot_0001 on lemmy.ml it seems there was more going on than just upvotes, and they got in trouble with programming.dev, europe@feddit and more as well.
Oof… yeah, that sort of tea kettle of targeted rage and violence seems more like a 4chan user. They also happened to find themself on some of the instances that have reputations of their own (I’m not referring to either of the two instances that you mentioned). Should I pre-emptively type Lembot_0003 to 9999 into my blocked accounts list?
being banned on .ml communities for "rule 1" is extremely vague though, since they'll call you a xenophobe for criticising China.
Yeah, and those aren't tied to a comment or anything it's harder to make an opinion of our own. But for the communities I mentioned there are visible comments, and … I think OP wouldn't have a good time at lemmy.ml, hexbear or blahaj, or even any instance where some common decency is expected.
Yes, I deleted the previous account. It was banned from the half of the communities I cared about anyway.
I was curious to see who the offending mods/admins were. !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com is a good place to post about Lemmy authorities overstepping their bounds, especially if you feel it was particularly unjust.
It seems to be davel from lemmy.ml.
.ml is notorious for arbitrary bans so I wouldn't think too much about it. There are active alternatives for most (but probably not all) communities hosted there. Criticizing Russia there is also a great way to get in trouble with the admins because they're explicitly tankies.
This place is exactly as shitty as Reddit is. Just "decentralized". I have already mentioned this elsewhere. Don't you dare not being part of some circle jerk or to have a slightly unpopular opinion. And no, I'm not talking about LGBT rights nor anything related to it.
Heavy modlog: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/modlog?userId=1101142
What in particular prompts you to reply that to a user? As in, do you have a plug-in or something that indicates the number of mod actions taken against a user? Or do you recognize usernames and follow them around as they reply? The number of mod actions also doesn’t necessarily reflect the character of a user since there are always some unjust mods, and there are some actions which mods can take that aren’t punitive (ex. pinning posts).
Additionally, it comes across as an ad hominem attack.
This is true. My own mod log is marred by a mod that called me a pedo for absolutely no reason. Feel free to check.
Then again, the number isn't necessarily the issue but the contents, right? Which we can also check and judge for ourselves.
It's two clicks from the three dots menus. Helps to at least know who you are dealing with
I understand how to access it. I was meaning more so what sparks your motivation to investigate and/or share your findings?
To keep from weighing in on something in error.
You kinda hey in the habit of at least a cursory mod log check if you spend any time on powertrippingbastards, or the modabuse communities.
A shit ton of people will make claims of being sweet, innocent little users while have a long and nasty history of fucking with people.
So, you learn to either check mod logs, or be willing to take heat for jumping in too quickly.
In this post, OP is essentially saying they were falsely accused of something. The only way to know what the deal is, is mod logs and user history. On the surface it could be just like OP claims, particularly when dealing with .ml since they're known to be trippin.
Turns out, OP is a douchbag and can fuck right off, and the only way to know that is by checking. Blaze is one of those people that, for good or ill, devotes a ton of time and energy into making lemmy a useful and fluid experience. They pretty much always go the extra mile. Some folks are just like that. I'm way too lazy to do it regularly, but I gotta respect the ones that put that effort in
That's the train of thought indeed, thanks

Yes, I personally think that if we want this platform to ever reach 100k monthly active users, we have to demonstrate that this platform is better at dealing with trolls than Reddit. Public modlogs help with that, and using them in that way seems reasonable.
