Here’s the LW announcement for context, and madthumbs’ reply to it.

To keep it short LW implemented a new mod policy - now mods of LW communities cannot enforce specific narratives in their comms. With madthumbs complaining that this would be “brigading”.

…I’m not too big of a fan of how LW admins run their instance. However: the rule in question is reasonable, and it has bloody nothing to do with brigades dammit.

And, really; so far I’ve thought that !linuxsucks was a troll community, since the mod in question is grasping at straws so bloody much at their arguments. But based on their reaction it is not, it borders disinformation already.
