That's not moderation, that's user voting. And it is simply corrected by up voting.
Downvotes are common and are sometimes accidental. Upvote, or ignore, and move on.

And, yes, I'm aware of why it can happen, and how one can deal with it. It's just a trend that's getting far worse than I remember it being. There was one Python submission I saw yesterday where probably 1/3rd of the comments were greyed out when I viewed it. It becomes distracting, and makes it harder to read the comments.
I usually end up reading them anyway, since so much legitimate and valuable content is now shown in grey so often. It defeats the purpose of displaying comments like that when so much good content has so frequently been mis-voted down.
