Lmao this is the guy that first lead to them banning the communities right?

Love that lemmy.world seems to be making their moderation strategy based off of a troll with at least 4 alts....

Props to him for fooling an entire instance

Made them show their true face and flaws. Who knows, maybe the troll is even someone from their staff on an alt.

He didn't fool anyone, he just seems to have caught them acting like hypocrites and made them either put up or shut up. If you want to enforce rules, you need to actually enforce the rules. If discussions of illegal things is against the rules that you made, then clearly an entire community built around illegal piracy is against the rules. Him pointing that out is a big-brain move that you would hope the admins would have gone "ah you got us. We'll change that rule to not be so restrictive", but instead they went "well shit, we'll remove it instead of changing our stupid rules".

Fooled you, you're literally replying to the same person on an alt.

Didn't fool me though because it doesn't matter who wrote what I replied to.
