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.
Wait, the auto mod permabanned the actual mod? That’s hilarious.
Someone misconfigured something. Perhaps if they knew how a computer works this wouldn’t have happened.
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)
Isn’t that the one who thought they were being brigaded when people kept downvoting their posts?
A comedy in two acts. Well done.
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
What was that?
Must be out of the loop, what’s LW?

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.
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 discussion is a bad faith, “Linux is bad and you can’t change my mind” posts, with enforcement via moderation, then it’s not useful to anyone really.
It was more Kauffman esque performance art.
I think that’s the sad part. They got into genuine flame wars with people. The stuff they’d reply was 100% dead serious and sad. Nothing fun or hilarious in an ironic way. Just angry and sad.
Primus sucks.
- 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.
A lock without a key
