I honestly don’t know what’s going on there. The sole mod and contributor of the community keeps posting low quality shit purely to bash on Linux and people kept calling him out in the posts and getting banned from the comm for that.
Now I noticed the same mod has just locked comments on all posts to prevent having to ban anyone commenting on their memes
Hmm yeah, that makes sense. Some things there could be considered spam as well, the same way that someone making nonsensical meaningless posts would be not okay (posts like this would probably be considered in that category, and this is most of all that’s been posted there lately).
@[email protected] What do you think? Does this seem like it goes against LW’s TOS or User conduct rules? Personally I feel like [email protected] is skirting the boundary but there’s times it goes too far.
Unfortunately, this not the only community where a mod aggressively pushes a narrative and bans anyone who objects. It’s a point of discussion among the .world team. Stay tuned for possible updates.
Agree, even if it does not violate any rule now there should be a rule on communities based purely on bad intent/faith. I’ve seen the posts and while ridicule/comedy is fine, it takes the next step of trying to humiliate people.
A counter example would be some of the memes I have uploaded to c/linuxmemes, it makes fun of our biases and defects but never insulting people.
