https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/news

Every thread has been locked and every person who has left a comment has been banned.

Has the mod decided to throw a childish tantrum?

We think /c/news is some kind of game that we need to reverse-engineer the rules of. Some of us have been able to post threads that have not resulted in a ban but when it comes to comments we're still working it out.

It is rumoured that the one who can formally write down the full set of rules will achieve the highest form of content enlightenment.

The Modlog is something else. Users getting banned left and right for "incomplete sentence", "incomplete thought", "insufficient capitalization", "Excessive capitalization", "vague", "woke", "vacuous", "we all know", "drinking the koolaid", and "abbreviations".

That community is a joke, best to block it and move along.

Oh, they're the "Thank you for engaging with my content!" guy.
Either an elaborate troll, social experiment, or literally insane.

I would like to point out that the recent "vague" was literally me saying I hope I don't get banned.

I challenge anyone to find a better, more exclusive community!
