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 thought it was pretty dedicated satire, and as a fulltime Linux user I enjoyed it.

    I’m requesting OP not be given moderatorship of c/linuxsucks but I also request unbanning u/madthumbs.

      Eh, IMO 1 in 100 of their posts actually having any still-relevant point is being generous. Even then those are probably about userspace problems (or more cutesy stuff like “here’s the cake, you gotta make it!”).

      [email protected] gives more context (also them locking every post). Seeing their actual comments, how frequently they posted, and their moderation actions makes me think unwell-at-best rather than any form of satire.

      Really reminds me of some guy years ago who was anti-FOSS and said Godot was demonic and communist (they made long rant videos on Youtube that are now gone). Specifically that both seem to be at least partial/reluctant users.

        This. It also looks like they lost moderatorship (is this a real word?!) over c/linux_vs_windows on world bc they “certainly can’t take criticism” according to the new mod.

        I wish Godot was a more satanic and communist software tho… ><
