For those not familiar with SRS on Reddit they started a troll sub in which they posted links to other user posts/comments and then sent DMs to those users to troll them into engaging in their harassment sub.

I had never heard of the Lemmy instance dubvee.org or their com /c/30rock until it appeared in my ALL feed.

But being a fan of the TV show 30 Rock, I attempted to upvote, and was met with a message informing me that I was banned from their community.

This seemed odd to me, as I was never informed that I was banned from any community on Lemmy.

So then I tried to determine why I was banned.

First I started with the modlog for that community on that instance.

https://lemmy.world/modlog/2986

This seemed odd to me, as there were pages and pages of 1000s of bans for no reason. Is this typical for dubvee.org?

Searching for my username, I found this.

with no explanation of this “Extremism - Advocating assassination”

According to the log, this was seven months ago, which would have been long before any of this Luigi stuff. If that’s what they are talking about.
