For those of you new users, you may be confused at constant references to a thermonuclear man named “Wisconscom”. Well, who is this man? Today you’ll find out!
Once, long long ago, somebody named “wisconscom” made an account on lemmygrad, promoting Hoxhaism, a far-left deviation of communism, and immediately began bashing China and other AES. He refused to comply with requests by the mods and so was banned.
But that wasn’t the end of it.
He was also a major contributor on prolewiki at the time, and they let him stay for a while due to his contributions. But eventually they banned him, and we got this gem:
Revisionist rats!
I did nothing but good for your project, yet you banned me for my ideology in haste!
I gave you many chances to unban me, I could have made thousands of edits, yet you rejected me.
Now… you have forced me to go THERMONUCLEAR!
After he was banned from ProleWiki, he created 5 alts on Leftypedia and also joined RationalWiki to denounce PW and Lemmygrad.
Legend has it that his alts are still stalking lemmygrad to this day, and that is why every comment seems to have a single downvote now.
Thanks for this post! It also now makes me wish that Lemmygrad (and really all instances of Lemmy) had an “OutOfTheLoop” community. It has been a big favorite subreddit of mine for awhile. Even if lots of the topics are drama things, but they are still weirdly interesting to read.
Maybe you should create one, I think it’d be helpful.
I have thought about it, and I like that you agree that it could be helpful. Though I am not sure I can handle being a mod. Though I guess it would be more of an issue if it got high traffic. lol
