Something I learned the very hard way, against my will, is when you have a user who is seriously against the mods, and doesn't really care about the sub, it's often best to just ban them.
Normally, the max I give is a week or two, long enough for most to move on, but some people just get obsessed. Others will literally ask to be banned. Those catch a perma.
Not saying the LW admins are right, but moderation is harder than it looks on the outside. Also ban evasion is basically a feature of Lemmy, it's so easy, and a lot do it.
It sucks, mods suck, being a mod sucks, everything sucks.
I put a lot of effort into this community, a lot of stress. And the lazy fuck who they gave it to can't even mod properly. He's just an intolerant jackass on a power trip.
There's a damn good reason why Lemmy is trash, and it's shit like this.
The admins suck too, oh, no one was modding over the weekend, better give it to someone who just destroys everything? He pulled the exact same shit with the comm on sjw. It's not isolated. He just wants to destroy, he can't create because he's not a good person.
