Seems like he wants to redirect the community to Reddit? https://old.reddit.com/r/linuxsucks101/

Is there any realtime chat where this is being discussed? I’m not into reality TV but this kinda sounds like the nerd’s equivalent lol

Here’s the LW announcement for context, and madthumbs’ reply to it.

To keep it short LW implemented a new mod policy - now mods of LW communities cannot enforce specific narratives in their comms. With madthumbs complaining that this would be “brigading”.

…I’m not too big of a fan of how LW admins run their instance. However: the rule in question is reasonable, and it has bloody nothing to do with brigades dammit.

And, really; so far I’ve thought that !linuxsucks was a troll community, since the mod in question is grasping at straws so bloody much at their arguments. But based on their reaction it is not, it borders disinformation already.

community rule 1: Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).

a locked post in an already locked community is not power tripping. it’s not even the purpose of this community. block the community or report it if it violates TOS.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

This is a community in the spirit of “Am I The Asshole” where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules

  • Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
  • Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
  • Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
  • Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
  • Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
  • You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
  • If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance’s code of conduct. In other words we won’t allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.

Some acronyms you might see.

  • PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
  • YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
  • BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
  • CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.
