@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they're salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they're trying to "fuck your entire site up" but I imagine it's a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they're creating, LMAO.
The rotten apples are starting to appear, eh? *sigh, oh well.
They're not getting their jollies harassing people at reddit anymore. Remember, to them any attention is good attention. Employ child psychology because that's where their mind is stuck.
Yep. Same reason why they won't just hang out at places like 4chan, Truth Social, etc.
The libruls they want to "own" are here. They're leaving Reddit because Reddit's going to become a Nazi bar, seeing that half the mods left, and the other have had their tools nerfed. When the libs are gone, they get bored.
They don't deserve their jollies, but they do deserve their jolly ranchers.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Wise words lad.
If you're popular you have fans, if you're really popular you have haters.
Looking at his profile
Since you banned my main for claiming community names, I’ll just fuck your entire site up instead. Much love, Angled
Yeah can't imagine why an instance admin might not want this insufferable piece of shit in their instance.
I bet it’s really spez, same energy
They need to start email verification. It will slow the trolls down.
Doesn't help too much, you can generate infinite email accounts with gmail for an example.
Manual acceptance of each and every user helps, but it's not sustainable.
Don't even need that, 1 click temporary email boxes everywhere
That's what I used.... I have no intention of being a troll or asshole, but I don't want social media like this platform linked to me IRL and never have.
Maybe admins should restrict community creation for a few days.
Idk, seems like this is quite a pivotal time with an influx of users. Be a shame to have the potential growth in community go to waste.
True, but they could limit community creation to, say, five a day. That would be more than the vast majority of people would legitimately need.
Growth for the sake of growth is why reddit and everything else crashes and burns.
He got his fee-fees hurt because others didn't like that he was trying to be a selfish asshole (shocking) so now he thinks it's justice to destroy a site and affect multiple people who didn't even do anything to him. 😂 jfc
Alright, mate? You want all the random communities you can get? Let me suggest you to get your own instance to flood with them.
So, it seems a few childish knobs came in with the refugees. Had to know it would happen.
I think most of the children will go back to reddit in time.
There's not going to be much of a reddit for them either, rats flee a sinking ship.
What a loser. I can't imagine being this salty about this entire situation. Suck that tiny spez pig dick I guess.
inb4 it's spez's account
How don't these fuckwits realize this place doesn't want them? Stay over in the trash heap where you belong.
It's probably pure trolling just like the old internet. People are riled up over reddit and stoking the flames a classic recipe for pure lulz
How about just make it impossible to mod/create more than 3?
I actually like this idea. The prevention of supermods like AwkwardtheTurtle is absolutely something that should be considered.
When people previously discussed this on Lemmy, the concern would be that bad actors would create multiple accounts to get around that rule.
But again, the lock on a door doesn't guarantee your house won't get broken into, it only has to deter them with extra effort/risk that they will be less likely to do it.
I honestly can't imagine modding more than 2 communities at once. Do these people not have real lives?
Yeah it's kinda problematic. The people who need to mod everything (super mod weirdos) would just make a bunch of accounts to ge around it. However, the people who just happen to be asked to mod a fourth community would basically have to say can't do sorry mate.
Though I guess you could just have the number be high, like 10, which would probably lot be an issue for normal folks even if they mod a lot.
Bad idea.
I'm making a bunch of communities myself, but mostly to see which communities stick or don't stick. 3 is too low a number. Like ~10 or ~20 is probably reasonable.
Not that I plan to truly own 20 communities. But I probably need to create 20 communities just to find 2 good communities with enough followers.
That being said, power-modders probably need to be automatically culled. There are a bunch of people coming in, not making a single post at all and then creating 30, 40, 50+ communities. You can tell if someone is truly dedicated because they'll make at least 2 or 3 posts as a "welcome" post, or non-default sidebars (etc. etc.).
So cap communities created per month, and have a global cap on communities modded?
I dunno, honey-potting is a better idea IMO.
Let them make a billion communities. Makes it easier to catch-and-purge later. You'd rather have these accounts waste a whole bunch of their own time that can be automatically detected and dealt with.
I second this, powermods are cancer.
Thirded. Canada is having political issues because the same 5 mods are infesting almost every sub. Limits are needed.
"I think you should go home now, Devin! Get back on San Vicente. Take it to the 10, switch over to 405 North and let it dump you onto Mulholland -- where you belong!"
Walk out that door, get in your truck, and take the offramp out of my life!
this would've been a great community for dank, deep-fried, unhinged shitpost memes
Be the change you want to see.
I can imagine that in the next few days we’ll discover everything the devs didn’t think about prior to this. Part of the fun.
These kinds of annoyances are actually good in the long run. Idiots like this guy are helping stress test the platform and lemmy will be better for it.
Improve the servers now before things get even busier the next time reddit pisses People off.
first showing door to nazis, then spammers, then salty time wasters. looks like speedrunning history of internet in reverse
