A screenshot shows a new linuxsucks community on the sh.itjust.works instance, a screenshot below it showing the moderator of the community getting banned five hours after its creation.
poking fun at its cultish, toxic community.
I don’t feel like I’m in a cult.
But then again…that’s just what someone in a cult would say…
Oh…God…NOOOOOOOO!!!
/s (obviously)
- Dude sets up community, is sole moderator
- Dude sets up autoban bot
- Sole moderator makes a post
- Autoban bot deletes the post and bans the sole moderator
Sounds like a typical Microsoft experience.
Made me think of this gem
A comedy in two acts. Well done.
Primus sucks.
Jerry was a racecar driver
Isn’t that the one who thought they were being brigaded when people kept downvoting their posts?
Was there anything wrong with c/linuxsucks@lemmy.world ? Maybe madthumbs has other grief with lemmy.world, I’m not sure.
The moderation not so much the content was what was wrong with it.
Linux needs criticism and you hear the voices of the less tech savvy if it wants to grow its user base and gain wider adoption, similar to lemmy. But if that while discussion is a bad faith Linux is bad and you can’t change my mind with enforcement via moderation then it’s not useful to anyone really.
It’s a meme community, calm down
Memes are important man. People have written PhD dissertations in this shit.
The moderation of the community or the instance? Madthumbs is also the mod at linuxsucks@lemmy.world
In This specific example, the issue was purely with the community and sole moderator.
Yes, saw that the other day as well, reminded me of the “flat earth discussion” policy initiated by LW and then cancelled due to the backlash, that was quite something
Must be out of the loop, what’s LW?
Lemmy.world
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that makes sense
Not sure why that post got removed specifically. I think it was just run of the mill linuxsucksposting.
It says “automod.” Maybe there’s a setting where things get deleted and users banned if they instantly get 10000 downvotes.
Heavy handed moderation as audience likes it.
I hope they can establish themselves somewhere, I wanna have a good laugh at their opinions every now and then.
