Hello I'm not a person who is affected by this community moderator but I'm posting on behalf of people who are, since they don't seem to know of this community yet. I attempted to reach some via DM but I'm not sure they'll respond. So I'm making this post since I feel this needs to be addressed.

Recently I was made aware of a community that appeared randomly on Lemmy.world. It seems to be a troll community given the type of content, but the reason I'm posting about it here specifically is that this mod seems to be banning anyone who points this out or goes against his narrative. Furthermore he is only using the autoremove on ban function, not removing any content the users have posted, which I believe is deliberate in attempt to prevent the content from showing up under the modlog and revealing the hypocrisy.


Some samples of comments:

Comment from: @glimse@lemmy.world

Everything else you posted has been pretty cringe but what he fuck is up with this one, dude lol

comment from: @rain_worl@lemmy.world

free software is SLOWING DOWN tech advancement??????? WHAT???????

comment from: @rain_worl@lemmy.world

i genuinely do not understand your point

comment from: @the_toast_is_gone@lemmy.world

First off, nice new community. I look forward to days of quality posts such as this./s

Second, how many Linux distros have this level of data collection, and what is their estimated market share?

Original comment link

All of these were retrieved from the API, even though they aren't included in the modlogs, I could've included more but it's kind of a time consuming process to look for them and retrieve them. Viewing removed comments is easier on Lemmy than it is on Reddit but it still isn't easy.

What do you guys think, does this seem like power-tripping? Also does this person's content seem like blatant troll content?

Well my only post was telling them to ban me, so mission accomplished I guess

I don't think it was that big a feat, he was banning people when the comments were too vague to tell if they were pro-linux or anti-linux. Really funny, and goes to show how insecure he is in his opinions.

Yea we should remove Linux from existence just to see all the things that stop working. No more internet.

Whats next? Watersucks? Unless you are drinking the closed source Coke.

But it's not a good fit for those comments. If they want to have a little community to hate on Linux and ban everyone who doesn't what is the problem?

I guess it's fine it exists as a site. But, what a juvenile, immature thing.

Honestly if you get pissed because someone makes a community detected to slandering your favorite OS you should probably touch grass (I use Alpine Busybox/Linux)

This happens ALL OVER Lemmy.

Welcome to mods and power admins with no rules.

Yeah but they moderate voluntarily so you should thank them.

Subscribed! The amount of linux fanboyism on this platform has been insane as of late to where if you even post anything factually negative (yes, Linux can get viruses) you get downvoted to hell. It’s nice to see a counter-culture sub once in a while.

As others have said, if you don’t like it, block it.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.
