    Always is with Phoronix comments.

    You find everything there from “Gnome is satanist” all the way up to pro-genocide crap.

    I really don’t know what it is about the site that brings out the craziest souch.

      For half a second there, I was like “yeah, so glad Lemmy is more rational than that site”.

      Few comments later, folks be talking about “Ukranian Nazis”…

      The absolute disregard of having any moderation is what does that. If there was any, there wouldn’t be the cases like having someone be there by their third account, after the first two got banned.

      Not to mention that controversy = angry people and trolls = more clicks = more ad revenue. I don’t think Michael wants to miss out on it.
