Hi,

u/madthumbs is a long-known troll in the Linux community for creating R*ddit and Lemmy pages called various forms of “linux sucks”. Some of their memes are fun, most are just old, unfunny and redundant jokes.

I just noticed their user account on SJW got banned (probably as recently as yesterday), so I’m officially requesting here to take over the moderator position for the c/linuxsucks page.

As an enthusiastic Linux user for a long time, I want to promote posting, sometimes self-deprecating, Linux and Linux-related memes on the SJW instance!

Thanks!

    It is certainly dedication; the second mod u/Uschteinheim is looking a lot like a sock puppet and they posted a lot, but the satire part really doesn’t work imo, it’s always the same bland posts about FLOSS while blocking any even mildly contrary opinion.

    I’m all for unbanning them on SJW, but I also would like to troll and frustrate them by taking the c/linuxsucks name away from them!

      I would rather not get in the habit of enabling reverse-trolling. That feels like a slippery slope.

      I don’t get the linuxsucks humor, and I don’t know why madthumbs moved over here from .world, but if they want to run a satire community then I think that’s okay. I’m going to unban them for now.

        That’s understandable. Indeed, I made the requested in the first place specifically because madthumbs got banned, but I’m all for unbanning them.

        If their annoying behavior have them banned again in the future, I stay available to take over mod for the linuxsucks page!
