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
The title of this article makes it seem like there’s going to be some somewhat racist undertones or something like that, but that doesn’t seem to be the case as far as I can tell. It just looks like it will be exploring some old Chinese stories, and I don’t know if anyone from “the west” that would have a problem with that.

Here’s a version that doesn’t have potato quality
Here’s some more pixels
I just always do a really quick reverse image search before I share things so I can share the best quality version as well as be able to point to the original artist. Usually only takes a minute at most.
It’s so similar to “putrid”
Matt Mullenweg effectively is the ‘owner’ of both, yes. Though the term ‘owner’ isn’t necessarily precise, it effectively conveys the idea.
Completely separate entities besides the owner being the same.
The open-source software from WordPress.org is great for blogs. It becomes the worst when you try it make it do more than that. Even worse is WordPress.com which is very different and uses a very locked-down and restricted proprietary version of the WordPress software. They charge $25/mo for the tier that lets you add custom CSS.
Additionally, Automattic gets a free pass of violating the WordPress terms of use for the WordPress name and logo to intentionally trick people into thinking the paid platform at WordPress.com is the same as the free and open-source software from WordPress.org. They get to leverage the non-profit’s name and likeness and gets preferential treatment to funnel business to their for-profit company.
I made no claims about my comment being perfect. I meant no disrespect or anything, even though I didn’t articulate myself perfectly to display that. Making a comment about an article’s title does not break any rules.
But none of that is the point here. Moderators are held at the very least the same standard as anyone else. As a moderator, they handled such a mild situation very poorly and lashed out, which is already evidence of being unfit to be a moderator. After being downvoted a handful of times they deleted their comment. Then later deleted my comments to even further hide it. My comments broke no rules. Someone else asked what happened and I responded with an answer of the situation, and they deleted that comment as well. They were absolutely abusing their admin to hide their embarrassment.
It has nothing to do with “being hurt”. They showed the kind of scummy person they are.
They showed that if they were willing to go this far to try to hide this, then that shows how low the bar is for them to try to manipulate things to their favor and liking with the trust that was given them as a moderator.
I don’t like the idea of that kind of person reaping the benefits of their site being linked to on the platform they tried to manipulate.
I don’t like the idea of people not facing the consequences of these kinds of actions.
I think people should know who this person is, since they showed their true self and then tried to hide it.
Bye kiddo
What you are doing is pathetic
Don’t bother.
Conveniently leaving out quite a bit of important information there to twist the narrative.
Why are you so adamant on trying to attack me throughout this thread? Do you really not have anything better to do? Get a life.
Me: occasionally brings up information for people to be aware of whenever I happen to see the website linked.
You: constantly tries to berate me with terrible logic and even admits to harassment.
Yep. Totally the same.
Your argument is “they only committed a little bit of mod abuse. You need to let it go!”
Why not just link to the survey instead of some blog about it?
