Context: PugJesus often spams low quality posts across the dozen or so communities they mod, apparently downvoting low effort spam on my frontpage is trolling. The only other action in the modlog is a different ban for 74 years for “Mass downvoting innocuous content,” so it definitely seems they are just banning people that dislike their spam. Glad we’re not missing out on the reddit mod experience here.
Ugh, Pugjesus, no surprises here
What’s your experience with them?
They post a lot of content in some historical artifact community, and they seem very cordial and nice there. Might even be Swedish, but not sure about that.
You’re not surprised about what exactly, out of curiosity?
Aside from what has already been said a lot of that history is stuff on the caliber of “Rome invented roads!”.
The communities I’m subscribed to have a lot of interesting things, like the historical artifacts one. But it is often just pictures… You have to ask for more info, but it’s usually provided after that.
But I can imagine what you’re saying as well. 😅
There are definitely treasure troves of interesting things in wikipedia. Asking for more info or context though often risks this kinda thread, unfortunately.
To me? Nothing. However I have seen many people post getting bans from them for super petty reasons, like downvoting a post.I have also seen this person be a point of contention a few times in some more shitposty places. So I just tend to avoid commenting on anything they post.
Never would’ve guessed they had an ego this fragile. Disappointing.
I like the historical artifacts posts AND I’ve seen PG be a dick. I try to encourage the good in him through positive reinforcement.
Unfortunately, my experience with social media has been that a lot of the most visible posters often are touchy, and can be a little domineering where they can. I look at his history posts, like the art ones, etc. However, unless I specifically have something to say that fully within the confines of the subject, and not negative, I will not post. In other spaces I block them. This isn’t necessarily PJ I am talking about either, this is a broader thing with these platforms. It is what it is I guess.
Sounds like an unfortunate phenomenon. People who post a lot on social media, especially online communities, might have limited social lives compared to people who don’t post a lot. And thus they might… define themselves a little bit, by the success of their posts? Perhaps? That’s what I’m thinking. And so they become very defensive and protective of their online presence and it’s a fragile thing for them if it’s a large part of who they are.
I post a fair bit compared to the average user, but that’s only because I recently moved away so my social life is absolute shit right now.
I’ve interacted with quite a few of the top posters here, most have been pretty chill if not genuinely motivated to build communities, at least in my experience. But, I agree that spending too much time on social media can be unhealthy. I had a near breakdown and had to cut myself off years ago when I was a monster of a teenage moderator, so I try not to judge too harshly and stay aware of my mood on here.
❤️ I’m glad you have the mental awareness and fortitude to stay on top of your emotions and regulate. Props to you! 💪
Why is all the drama always about one guy. I think this is at least the third “front page” post I have seen involving drama with this guy in just a few months.
Can’t we just implement some reasonable go touch grass cooldown period. No modding or posting from that account or IPs associated with his account for 90 days.
If its a problem as soon as he’s back then 180 days next time.
