I honestly don’t know what’s going on there. The sole mod and contributor of the community keeps posting low quality shit purely to bash on Linux and people kept calling him out in the posts and getting banned from the comm for that.

Now I noticed the same mod has just locked comments on all posts to prevent having to ban anyone commenting on their memes

      Sure, but that would be a weird thing to lie about. Also, it wasn’t just a three-word “yeah I’m serious,” there was more context to it.

        That’s how trolls draw people in further so they can more deeply upset them, it’s not a weird lie at all.

        the entire concept of the comm is weird tho. i can’t do vibes based judgement here personally. to me it is silly to take anything such a cartoonish character says seriously, including their statement of earnestness.

          “When somebody tells you who they are, believe them.” The cost of me taking them seriously and being wrong is low, and it’s not an outlandish or exceptional possibility that they’re in earnest. The internet is choc full of weirdos with strange fixations, so I see no reason why I should assume they’re joking.

          If they’re that bad at conveying satire, and they’re not actually being serious, they should just quit now.

            again, fair, my point is i don’t assume either way. i find the community entertaining but i think people should just block the community if it bugs them or report it if they have evidence it’s TOS violating. there’s no way anyone is going to verbally make this guy act right.
