I calculate a 97% chance that the above commenter statement is factual.

My guess is it was to weasel his way into having mod control over as many subs as he could in hopes some would take off. This happened in June around the time reddit was having their blackout protests.

Pasting my comment from another thread.

From what I understand a user(Lmao/Angled) was “sub-lemmy camping” (took up thousands of popular sub names and wasn’t doing anything with them) so lemmy world banned him from that instance. He had a hissy fit and “vowed revenge” and has been attempting to do as much damage to .world as he/they could since. I can’t find the original post but https://old.lemmy.world/post/943832 and https://old.lemmy.world/post/1720870 has a bit of detail.

Edit: added some info

This is one of the reasons why I prefer having a few smaller drives than one big one. Having a zillion terabytes of storage one one drive is great and all, but that’s a lot of stuff to potentially lose when something craps out. I’d sooner have a couple smaller ones so that if one hdd does shit the bed…err case? at least not everything’s gone.
