I hate assholes that do this. Why? I mean really why?

Part of the issues in the past have been caused by one singular user who, during the first couple of weeks of growth, registered absurd amounts of communities to try and become an immediate power moderator. He was banned, got really angry, and have been creating spam accounts, tried to use the CSS attack during the emoji issue, and you know what, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one trying to DDoS the site.

Was it someone with Turtle something in their handle? I can’t remember his/her whole name but they freaked out a few weeks ago when they got banned on Reddit after being a power mod that enjoyed being a jerk and they showed up here in Lemmy for a day or two.

Awkwardtheturtle

I remember seeing the screenshots of their tantrum. That person severely needs to touch grass.

They threw so many fucking tantrums. I remember when one subreddit decided to say fuck it and threw a revolt over their nonsense. They acted like having people hate them was a badge of honor and that anyone against them was "a stupid misogynist".

The powermod that got kicked off Reddit was on Lemmy, too?

[–] Fried_out_Kombi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I have no clue. I certainly hope not!

Awkward the turtle? I didn’t realised they’d actually joined lemmy. They can fuck right off.

Least terminally online and very sane person

Some men just want to watch the world burn. Namely assholes.

The only DDoS that I can half-way tolerate is ones that go against corporations/governments that do evil shit. And even then, those attacks had better not effect people's health and welfare needs. Yes, assholes abound.

Children. They’re children. Let’s not call these childish little bastards “men”!

Apologies, it can also be women. I'm just constrained by the quote.
