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!

A gaslighting cryptobot even! Fine! I’ll put the kids’ college fund into Mona Doggocoins. Are you happy now?! Darned cryptobot!

FYI all mod actions should show up, but if a post has been "purged" (completely deleted from the lemmy db) then it also disappears from the modlog.
