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:

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?

    You cannot force me to adopt your definition of trolling, not that it would even matter what you called it.

      Do you think we have a different definition? I honestly hadn’t considered that. What is your definition then?

        Scroll up. I won’t argue or defend my position as I think it’s pretty reasonable and obvious to most

          An example isn’t a definition but it doesn’t seem like you’re too interested in this conversation so I’ll leave it at that.
