MODERATORS
Could you provide more background? I see the memes in my feed and some are funny. I sometimes post there explaining it's a joke community to posters who take obvious jokes extremely seriously.
A user made a community called LinuxSucks.
Poe's law being what it is, it can be hard to tell the difference between satire and someone actually drinking the kool-aid, but having talked to this person and been banned from his little fiefdom, he strikes me as the non-satirical kind of poster.
Trolls revel in the attention. They want the outrage that comes from interaction, and he's locked down his community, disallowing anyone from posting anything at all last I checked.
He's taken stances like "Open Source software is inherently bad for society because it takes jobs away from companies" and "the spyware companies like Microsoft build into Windows (IE Windows Recall or any other data aggregation system) are where things are going and you should be happy because you're helping a company make money".
I'd personally describe him as a Temporarily Embarrassed Billionaire trying to find a cock to deepthroat so he can join their ranks.
Can you link to this profile or one of these threads? I'd like to read that.

He also made 'Linux vs Windows' but got removed from that community, and the new mod removed all his posts or I'd post links to a discussion we had.
