Will it be effective?

Spoiler

No, it was not very effective.

EDIT: The banning event continues. Please consult the modlog to observe.

If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.

EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!

EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!

EDIT 4: The mod in question has now been removed as a mod of the [email protected] community, as a result of their abuse of power.

    It is inevitable, all lemmy instances will eventually be taken over by supermods that leverage their power to harass.

    This vegan fiasco isn’t even the first time but I guarantee you the admins will leave them to powermod the remaining 107 as they see fit.

      Well, in this case the person in question couldn’t handle the fallout of their actions, and actually deleted their whole account.

        Powermods like that don’t usually have only one account, and since they can mod themselves wherever they go, they usually do.

        Nuking an account is just changing skins. The admins have the power to track and fix that, but they won’t.
