FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the !linux_gaming@lemmy.ml community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]

Instead, here's a link to the official post https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/4547038620960934857

Wow, mad because you can be held accountable. That's sad.

Thanks for the steam link!

4 likes on him complaining that modlogs being public is something bad, cowards that only want to be shitty in the shadows.

I'm still fairly new. Where do I go for modlog drama?

[-] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 1 day ago

There is a sub for sanity checking mod actions, aita-style.
If you keep in mind it is for active unconfirmed situations, and that votes there are not meant to mark the cases of mod abuse, I think it can fill that niche.

He used to relentlessly spam the /r/linux_gaming subreddit and argue with people there too until he deleted his reddit account lol

[-] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

He's still on Reddit

[-] Voyajer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He would make another account account

[-] mrvictory1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Yes he said he made an alt but I think his main is still active? Not sure.

I really don't see a need to drag community drama everywhere. GoL is one of the biggest aggregator blogs out there for... linux gaming. Whether we should prioritize original sources over aggregators is a different discussion.

But yeah. Liam is great for news aggregating but he is 100% the stereotypical linux gamer and has a long history of starting random shit. Still annoyed by how fast he got everyone to shit on the Duckstation devs because they didn't want to be exploited.

Being a big("great") news aggregator doesn't excuse bad behavior.

Are you the lemmy cops? Is it your responsibility to chase any link to someone's website across every instance and make sure people know they are a bit of a jackass?

If you think GoL should be a banned source, take it up with the various moderators. If you think only primary sources should be allowed (which I actually agree with), that is also a discussion to be had.

But rushing in to berate people for linking to one of the most popular news aggregators for a story that people would be interested in because you don't like the guy who owns that site? All you are doing is discouraging people from making posts in the future.

Which is the problem with dragging community/subreddit drama everywhere you go. It just makes the site a much more hostile place for everyone. And we really aren't big enough to be doing that.

🚨 🚨 🚨 FREEZE! STOP RIGHT THERE!! 🚨 🚨 🚨

As the official lemmy police I am arresting you for defending a mad lad caught abusing powers. You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.

Jokes aside.. I do think people should be allowed to post opinions an discuss other peoples behavior. Gol dude was caught abusing his powers, which is a disgusting thing to do, personally don't mind him being called out for that in a post here and there. It's not an attack on the poster, it's a reminder to folks who the guy really is.

I'm all for the truth, no matter who it is.
