      as a dev sure. as an admin he had a recent kerfuffle on news, etc, with bans and involvement in some drama around them.

        Guy instance banned a bunch of people simply for speaking up in favor of Luigi, before it got clear how many supporters there were. Admin-wise, some questionable decisions. Still he did a lot of good for Lemmy. Shame to lose him.

              Afaik he tolerated no support for calls for violence whatsoever on his instance. Which is his freedom to do as his line of moderating, but obviously brought him into conflict with the beliefs of many on Lemmy

                And I so fully support banning calls for violence. in my example (anecdotally) there was no violence just uncomfortable rhetoric. (also he was a mod of news on .world at the time - not just his instance but maybe that’s how it works here? not fully sure.)

      Yeah, not so nice for just downvoting a post of his though. Fediverse is better off without that kind of toxic behaviour.
