It looks like the original posts have been removed, so clicking on "context" won't work, but if you search for "reactionary voting patterns" and sort by Old you'll find some of the comments.
I think that was an exaggeration. There were people who claimed they were banned for not upvoting BrookBaybee's "I love my trans comrades!" posts, and maybe some people remembered it that way, but it sounds like it was actually because they were downvoting them and other pro-trans threads.
i may be misremembering -- maybe there was a purging for downvoting a mod's posts, or upvoting meta-posts that were critical of a particular mod (all in conjunction with failing to post a requisite number of times).
downvotes were the first thing to be litigated, with trans posting and posters getting a bunch of consistent downvoters, I don't remember a mass litigating of people's upvotes, but the mods definitely have that tooling to see who upvoted a particularly noxious comment, and see patterns
By transphobe purging do you mean the blanket removal of accounts that didn't sufficiently upvote the mods posts?

I agree. No, I was just looking for ways to search for this.
T69 alts know where to find me
I thought it was less that you didn't upvote those, and more the stuff you DID upvote?
