The post was https://lemmy.ml/post/27600301 on !antitrust@lemmy.ml
When opening the link, it popped up something I didn’t even get to see because it created crashed my browser.
I returned to the post and commented "Jesus, the pop-up on that site is brutal " that’s it, that’s the exact quote because I use an app that stores things from specific sources that are typed in
Annnnd 
For being annoying.
Because the mod didn’t like their link being criticised.
I ain’t even mad, I’m just amazed to see a PTB in the wild like that.
So because you disliked the website’s popup under a mods post, the mod got butthurt, deleted your comment and banned you? Just for saying you don’t like the popup and nothing else??
Lol, PTB.
Ikr? It’s textbook ptb. I was so surprised by it, I started laughing
Just .ml things
FWIW, I restored SJW’s local copy of your comment.
That won’t federate or anything, but at least it doesn’t say ‘removed’ on our end anymore.Appreciate it :)
Tankies get pissy when you criticize anything they like. Don’t use .ml and save yourself the hassle of dealing with them.
And they removed a reply to your comment too:
Oh damn, they just be trippin all over!
If you wanted to know who it is.
Edit: removed picture apparently pulling mod names is against the rules of this comm. But that community does have one sole moderator, so take that for what you will.
This one is extra dumb, even by ml standards.
Nothing new. .ml mods are so bad that it makes discord mods look sane.
ptb ofc
but just because i was curious, the popup in question:
thanks aslan!
amusingly the link works fine if you remove all the parameters and displays no popup at all

I have no idea why my browser choked on that, but holy crap it did.
Easiest PTB so far.
I saw it, and got a little excited to have something to post here lol
There is another comment chain in that post saying the exact same thing, and the OP engaged - https://reddthat.com/comment/17475791
Lmao. Dude be trippin
.ml
To nobody’s surprise
Clicked out of curiosity but no pop up here. Highly recommend uBlock Origin OP, and possibly a DNS solution like NextDNS/Adguard/PiHole. Would solve this problem.
it appears
substackcdn.comis the offending domain, uBlock filters the pop up even without it being fully blocked.PTB for sure!
PTB
This is why mods shouldn’t moderate their own posts.
In a more general sense, this is an excellent demonstration of why communism doesn’t work.
Change my mind
Lol, communism is not the same as dictatorship. See America as example, clearly a capitalist country, but as well, having soon a dictatorship.
Political system is not the same as economic system
You can have a capitalist dictatorship and you can have a democratic communism.
Communism has nothing to do with moderating their own actions, I don’t know how you got to that.
Like in America, you have e.g. boing moderating itself and anywhere people say “the market will handle it” results in a monopoly ultimately moderating itself.
I think is more a demonstration why pure capitalism doesn’t work, but needs to be regulated.
