Will it be effective?

Spoiler

No, it was not very effective.

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!

      Pretty sure the Reddit mods were the biggest group of complainers against Reddits API changes, since they used third party apps in order to mod.

        I guarantee you the admins will leave them to powermod the remaining 107 as they see fit.

        Well, in this case the person in question couldn’t handle the fallout of their actions, and actually deleted their whole account.
