I was banned for "blatant vote manipulation" (anarchist.nexus)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

A few days ago my main account ( @irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) and a few of my alts were banned for vote manipulation. (https://lemmy.ca/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=20988171)

While i did upvote 2 posts with the alts, they were both by a friend, and I knew the posts were going to get downvoted anyway. I have since removed the votes (that i know of).

There could be a few posts I upvoted by mistake on an alt without realising I already voted on it.

Thanks for responding,

Once or twice (potentially depending on circumstances) could be waved as an accident. As exhibited by the screenshot provided above, logging into 4 different accounts to upvote the same post accidentally I don't believe for a goddamn second.

That's not what I was saying at all, I did vote intentionally with the alts on 2 posts, but I could have done it once or twice without realising it.

Those 2 were the only posts I have (intentionally) done anything deceptive with and I have removed the offending votes.
