Watching those communities interact with the fediverse is an interesting experience

This one made me giggle. The linuxsucks dude is a trip. I would love to see a psychological workup on a person that creates a 1-person community on an ultra-niche platform and protects against other people joining to the death.
- glances nervously at !germanhumor@lemmy.world
  
  Reminds me of r/Amish
- I've messaged him, he's alright. Not exactly a terrible dude. Just quirky.
  
  I definitely wouldn't have thought to label him terrible. Just emotionally delicate enough to not be able to handle dissenting opinions and harboring a sense of powerlessness that has made him want to create an environment where he gets to control the people that try to participate.
  I can relate. I might start a "somethingsucks" community and may the Gods help anyone that tries to usurp me.
- A narcissistic autistic man-child?
  
  No need to throw autistic people under the bus.

Communities made around hating a specific thing are always awful.
Except FuckCars because that's really just pro-urbanism.
- Except FuckCars
  Unfortunately, the community is still populated and run by some Grade A types.
  Like, the sentiment is good, but you still end up with people who have no communication skills piling in.
  
  Hey, I'm trying my best!
- fuckCars has become weird enough that fuckcarscirclejerk is now a top-tier subreddit
  
  Oh, I just mean the lemmy community, I don't use Reddit.
  
  Has it? Back when I was on Reddit (before the API debacle) it was one of my absolute favourites.
- They could change the name to LessCars, would seem less agressive
  
  They have no interest in appearing less aggressive. Getting to be aggressive is like the highlight of their day.
  
  Fewer Cars? 🤔
  
  The name isn't "no cars" or "never cars". There are some rare use cases for personal automobiles. But the ways cars operate in our society today? Fuck 'em.

Linuxsucks is a wild place
- Seems like the mod now wants to move back to Reddit
  
  They will have more success there as people are more tolerant of windows.
- I'm pro Linux but I laughed at the memes
  
  There were jokes? I looked at many posts there and just saw impotent rage

Hey now, linuxsucks doesn't do that anymore!
...because every post is locked, nobody can comment.
(unless they are banning due to votes, I can't find it in the modlogs if they are)

  That community is on .world, which on Lemmy v0.19.3. Moderators there cannot yet see who voted.
  
  Saw someone with their own instance say on another post (not on their instance) that they could tell that said post had 5 downvotes by users they had tagged.
  Not sure that it's true, but I do find it a bit unnerving. I was on (the now defunct) Kbin and the downvotes were public, which didn't bother me as much because it was at least transparent/equal (though I also had someone pester me over a few votes spanning weeks on their just-them-posting-a-popular-comic place, said it was an error with their averages and then they still silently banned/blocked me after).
  
  Moderators can't on 0.19.8 either

Literally the only post I've seen from c/carnivore was for an omnivorous recipe
- Yeah, its rough to find some pure carnivore content for things like kidneys, or even things like fish soup. I get as close as I can and indicate what I would change to push it into the pure territory.

I will never understand people who want to give up fruits and vegetables. Not only are they beautiful but they are really fun and relaxing to grow. There is something about growing and harvesting your own vegetables that can't be wrong lol
- Fruit is amazing! Makes some of the very best desserts!

Slowly becoming an echo chamber of toxic one-ups-manship has never resulted in anything bad happening to a board moderator or its members.
Just ask Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka

Linuxsucks isn't a community. It's one guy on a mountain of shit.
Honestly, he doesn't deserve the attention he's getting right now.

To be fair you literally asked to be banned

Ban me too since Vegan Pizza called you out on your nonsense.
My response:
ok! I have banned you per your request. If you ever want to come back, just send me a DM
WRT Vegan Pizza, they only down vote, they did not start a conversation. I'm not sure down voting counts as being called out

I blocked carnivore immediately as it was an obvious teenage attempt at trolling. Granted its creation seemed to be a response to the false flag vegan communities.
- You mean the vegan communities aren't acting in good faith when they call everybody "carnists" and "bloodmouths"???
