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!

    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!
