I don’t think anyone has a problem with shitty opinions. I think the bigger problem is a pattern of behavior that impairs the community.

  1. Copying and pasting the same low effort text multiple times in replies
  2. Refusal to engage in good faith discussions/interactions
  3. Excessive volume of low quality posts and comments
  4. Rampant sealioning in comments
  5. Outright trolling which you all have only moderated a portion of

Overall you have a user that disrupts the community in a variety of ways and contributes nothing of value - especially in their comments. I think at least a temporary ban has been justified for quite some time.

Thank you for calling this out in detail. I think that copy pasting responses several times easily qualifies as trolling and the massive amount of them doing this makes it no question. This alone should be enough.

They should be banned from the instance. I can’t quite follow how it’s controversial unless some of the mods are letting their politics stand in the way of observations anyone can easily make in a couple of minutes. There is nothing redeeming about this account. They are spreading bad ideas in bad faith, and frankly it shakes my faith in the platform that they can get away with it Scot fucking free. It’s disgusting.
