    This site should be avoided. The owner got caught abusing their mod powers on lemmy because they didn’t know the mod log was public. So they deleted their account.

      Do you have some more details? That site had some notorious spammers on Reddit’s /r/linux_gaming too, allegedly by other people (several beerNUMBER accounts and a couple others) and he was constantly being apologetic that it was of course out of his power of what other people submit, but it felt more like making excuses. I am still not convinced that it wasn’t his alt accounts. If I look at their frontpage now I see neither any of those accounts, nor “articles” from that site (which is more of a shitty blog imo), and it seems his account is gone too, which really just reaffirms my suspicion. There were like 3-5 links to his site just on the first page alone each day.

        I don’t know anything about what you’re mentioning. They just deleted some messages and put “annoying” as the reason and when they were called out for it they deleted their account on lemmy.ml
