    Far more than the BBC, including many here on lemmy. Fucking swine (them, not you).

      We’re talking about you @PugJesus@lemmy.world

      Also I think it’s hilarious I had to look up how to tag people on Lemmy and the post I come across is two years ago and they’re asking how to tag users and mention Pug as an example.

      EDIT: 13 downvotes doesn’t seem suspicious at all. /s

          He’s a mod who really doesn’t like it when people talk about Democratic politicians who support Israel’s genocide. Also when you talk about him your comment will get a lot more attention than what you’d expect from organic traffic. I have my suspicions he’s got funding.

            Have you considered he may be a relatively well-known figure in this space, thus generating additional interest that a less-prolific user may not? Due to the rarity of tagging a user in the first place you bring further attention when tagging anyone in any comment regardless of their popularity.

            When that tag involves accusations of pedophile apologia or Zionist-washing without providing evidence it will receive negative attention regardless of the user’s popularity.

            Your suspicions regarding paid engagement ignores the rational explanation that he is simply a recognizable name. Those suspicions are further undercut by tagging him and accusing him of reprehensible behavior. You personally have increased engagement with your actions.

            Please, by all means, provide us with evidence that Pug abuses his banhammer. Mod logs aren’t hidden. If his actions are scummy or inappropriate for his position then prove it. Regardless of his popularity you would be doing a favor for the entire fediverse in doing so.

              🤷‍♂️ He deleted the comment he banned me for. Not sure what you want me to do about it.

              Ask him to bring the comment back so you can judge for yourself: https://lemmy.world/post/47534274/24011623

              My comment was something like “If Democratic politicians could be pressured they wouldn’t continue to support Israel’s genocide.”
