u/LeninMeowMeow moderates a large amount of big subreddits, r/therightcantmeme, r/gamingcirclejerk, r/animememes, r/greenandpleasent (a known russian propaganda subreddit source: Center for European Policy Analysis (think Lemmygrad)) and much more.
Anyways on r/lemmy, he says that lemmy.world is right-wing and thatcherite. I reply that it is more social democratic.
I instantly get banned from the subreddits he moderates and blocked by him. I have not commented or participated in any of their subreddits before, and this is my first ever encounter with them.
Weird and concerning behaviour. I fear that tankies are taking over most left wing spaces on reddit (not that I really use reddit for politics anymore, that’s why I’m on lemmy, but for the implications to our democracies, as a non-negligible chunk of voters are politically influenced by reddit).
Careful if you have any Reddit alts. This particular moderator has the ban evasion filter set to the highest sensitivity on all of his subreddits (it’s a Reddit feature that flags suspected alts of banned users based on account details and device fingerprinting) and will report every case of suspected ban evasion to the admins. They normally don’t care but will look into it if a mod reports it. If you accidentally post on any of his subreddits with an alt the admins will permanently ban all of your accounts.
Thanks for the warning but he doesn’t mod the subreddit this discussion was in. I replied with an alt because he blocked me so I couldn’t see his messages anymore.
