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.

MODERATORS
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!
Me: cars are pretty mandatory in cities like L.A. and rural areas
FuckCars: you're literally worse than Hitler
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.

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.
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.
US society (IIRC you're a US citizen) definitely is car centric. The issue people have with FuckCars is how it puts the responsibility of the situation to the cars (and their owners) rather than the policies leading to that situation.
!publictransport@slrpnk.net could maybe a less "fuck them" alternative
But !fuckcars@lemmy.world isn't just about public transport. It's also about cycling. And walking. And building cities such that walking or cycling are actually viable, not just because there are good bike paths/footpaths, but also because paths are well-shaded, roads are narrow and easy to cross, and the distances you have to travel are lower because density is higher and localities are mixed-use with local businesses. It's about all the ways that motonormativity is shit.

Right up the tailpipe!
Fewer Cars? 🤔
No. Every car should be reduced by 10% annually.
I misread that as "anally", but that would do too.
!dragonsFuckingCars@pawb.social
Xeno's automobile!
Well spotted, as you know English isn't my first language 😅
Oh indeed, it's a classic pedant's gotcha that I didn't think you'd mind.

But they're incredibly aggressive, so the current name fits them better
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).
First point is correct.
Actually, you can still use Mbin today to see upvotes on Lemmy communities

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
Literally the only post I've seen from c/carnivore was for an omnivorous recipe

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!
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.
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
