TL;DR: The dbzer0 community decided to start banning people for downvoting AI generated posts. They said they'd only ban people who come to a community and do mass downvotes, but Ace T'Ken downvoted four AI posts that showed up in the feed across a period of ten months, and was still banned from several communities by a prominent dbzer0 mod. There was also a side plot involving some person or group of people impersonating every major actor involved in the drama, which is why so many comments in the thread are removed.
There were several other drama threads related to the voting bans:

I remember a few more discussions from back when all this was new, but didn't have as easy a time finding them.

.ml mods are exactly the type to ban people from every community because they don’t share the exact same viewpoints as the mod in question.
dbzer0 is getting almost as bad with certain admin and certain topics now too.
Db0 is going further right everyday ever since certain comms thought he was too lefty

They see the way their users lean and say nope, not on my watch we must stay right of those positions

What's right wing about db0?
Edit: right wing now means "not willing to put up with bad faith and ableism from so-called leftists"

Yours, solarpunk and maybe Blahaj? Sorry to hit you with an impromptu game of 40 questions
i can't help but be pleased that you associate 3 of my favorite instances with eachother! it makes me feel like i'm acting in a group who's putting good things into the world
in addition to those, and anarchist.nexus (which @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com mentioned), i think quokk.au also belongs (i think they even had a vote to join the flotilla db0 was mentioning, but that they voted no). while these instances are not formally allied via the governance pact of said flotilla, i do find them, and the users on them, to generally have complementary views and stances on the world, how it works, and how it should work.
it's less like a flotilla and more like ships at sea who all hate the royal french armada together. we party at the same ports together, but we're all on different adventures

Predictions
Showerthoughts
I had no idea Reddit invented having deep thoughts in the shower, or making predictions
Am I the Asshole?
Yea they can keep that one
Reddit didn't invent deep thoughts, but that's not how trademarks work.

On Digg there's some drama because someone registered the community “/wallstreetbets,” and the admins took it from him and gave it to one mod of the subreddit “r/wallstreetbets.”
One day later I see this discussion about how Reddit registered trademarks for some high-profile subreddits.
This could be relevant for the Threadiverse.
This is why we federate. Is your community name taken by people you don't like or agree with ? Just make your own on another server !
