Who and why is attacking lemmy.world?

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@kbin.social 59 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Pasting my comment from another thread.

From what I understand a user(Lmao/Angled) was "sub-lemmy camping" (took up thousands of popular sub names and wasn't doing anything with them) so lemmy world banned him from that instance. He had a hissy fit and "vowed revenge" and has been attempting to do as much damage to .world as he/they could since. I can't find the original post but https://old.lemmy.world/post/943832 and https://old.lemmy.world/post/1720870 has a bit of detail.

And that guy probably didn't do anything with the communities and just hoarded them? What a donkey...

My guess is it was to weasel his way into having mod control over as many subs as he could in hopes some would take off. This happened in June around the time reddit was having their blackout protests.
